Hi everyone, Rob here.
49 years old, divorced, insomniac (it's 3.15am here), and I'm BBC and have been for around 7 years.
Never had a problem with MPB, just wanted to have a head like a bowling ball, and that will never change.
I love being bald with a passion. I shave twice a day, and use mostly Mach 3, but also use Proglide and Wilkinson Sword hydro 5. Big fan of The Art of Shaving products too (which aren't retailed here) but not keen on Headblade at all, products or razors.
Anyway, just a quick hello. Lots of inspirational sounding and looking men on this site so I decided it was time to join the party.
Happy shaving
Rob

G'Day Rob mate O0
Welcome mate, this is a great forum with a great bunch of fellas.
-
Thanks mate, yeah it looks good. Been lurking for a while.
-
Welcome my friend -- nice to have someone from the UK. How about uploading a pic for your avatar so we can see who we're talking to? Makes it much more interesting.
-
Welcome, Rob! (You're only about the 2,296th guy with that name, but the more the merrier :*))). Glad to have you, enjoy and post often!
-
Welcome to the SBG forums! Post away (a pic as well) and enjoy the great company 8)
-
Welcome!
-
Hey Rob. Welcome! Stick around and get active brother. This is an awesome community with some great guys, and even a couple wicked cool ladies.
-
Welcome to the club Rob.

Hi Rob
Welcome to the forum. I am also from the uk, up here in yorkshire. I hope you guys avoided the worst of the weather over Christmas. It feels like it has been raining since about April. Has been so frustrating nou being able to get outside with the kids.
Welcome and join in.

Hi gents, thanks for the welcome. Sorry for adding to the 'Rob list'. It's not a very common name here, most just stick with Robert.
I will upload a picture, but it won't be for a few days. I'm in the middle of moving house and I've been without an Internet connection for a few days. I'm on my iPad now, but I'm going on a business trip to America tomorrow, and so I will be able to use my laptop from the hotel, assuming I can find it in the moving boxes before I leave for the airport!
Just an average guy here. 6ft tall (ish), beard/moustache/goatee (I like to alternate the facial furniture from time to time - goatee as we speak, or Van Dyke to be technical about it) bit of a beer belly and a head manufactured by Teflon and serviced by Gillette.
I can be a bit talkative and gobby sometimes so just tell me to STFU if I am. That often works.
Argyle: the weather has been mega depressing, cant wait to get away from it for a few days.
Thanks again for the welcome, hope to connect again later.
Bye from glorious Northamptonshire (lol)

I'm another BBC guy. Approaching 1year in a few days. Welcome. Listen to what Doug says. He's a great inspiration and a sly for life guy.

Welcome fellow from Brit. You from the Northants area ? Had many boozy nights at Highgate House, Creaton just north of Northampton.
From Mr Jules of London.
-
No, I'm from London, but I moved to Northampton a few days ago. I'd never been here before until the end of November, so I'm a bit lost! My flat is in northampton town centre, about 4-5 minutes walk from Drapery. I think that's what it's called.
Currently on a hunt for somewhere to buy some razor blades but all I keep coming across is a Starbucks and a dodgy looking Debenhams.

Good luck with your razor blade hunt and still clear of that dodgy looking Debenhams !
-
I had to go in there, it was the only place I could find razor blades!
Not sure how I'm connected to the internet seeing as I havent had the internet installed at the flat yet, but laptop found, connected to the internet, and its all systems go.
About to add a pic of myself too if I can figure out how.
-
Hi gents, thanks for the welcome. Sorry for adding to the 'Rob list'.
Oh, no, don't be! All the Robs that are here are pretty cool, and I'm sure you're no exception!
-
Welcome rob :D
I'm from the UK myself (birmingham) and agreed with the Baldness its the way forward !! :D
and the weather has been terrible :(
-
Welcome along Rob.....
-

Looks like you don't need any hair on top. You have enough on your shoulders!
LOL.
-
Hello mate. I'm a Londoner that's just moved to Milton Keynes, so howdy!
-
Mrzed, yeah I have more than enough on my body. My ex wife used to say she was going to shave my body and re-carpet the house with it. Horrifying thought.
isleepinthebuff, howdy mate. We're almost neighbours. I had planned to move to MK but got waylaid by Northampton. Such is life. Are you in MK itself? And isleepinthebuff2.
-
Rob, we need new carpet here ... if you want to sell some of that hair ...
yes, bald is the way to go. Just headbladed again for the day. Feels fresh and smooth. I love being bald.
-
You can have as much as you want mate. No charge. There'd still be more than enough leftover.
I just shaved too. Unusual regime today. Hot water, truefitt & hill pre-shave oil, body shop maca root skin scrub, hot water, maca root shaving cream (lathered on with a proraso brush), one pass with Mach 3, one pass with hydro 5, hot water rinse, maca root skin scrub, cold water rinse, air dry, the art of shaving after-shave gel.
Amazing feeling.
Now it's time for a cuppa.
-
Welcome Rob. The dome looks great.
-
Welcome Rob !
-
Thanks gents
-
Welcome fellow Brit! BTW, is that a shark fin I can see in the background of your photo? durrr-nu duuur-nu!
-
Good point. I wondered where my leg went!
-

I think about 1000 sq feet will be enough.
Thanks.
-
Consider it done
-
I think the contrast between the bald head & hairy body goes well!
-
Thanks, I appreciate it
-
Welcome, Rob! I am very fortunate to have spent a little time in Northampton. I think it is a great place, and the people are too!
Good to have you!
-
Welcome mate, seems you are fitting in nicely around here already!
I'm always coping a bit of flack about my hairiness too. One of my mates calls it my 2nd shirt.
-
Funny...hair can't grow worth a dam on the noggin, but grows like crazy everywhere else! ;D
-
Aye. I have the second shirt issue too. Well normally. I got a mangroomer for Christmas so I've been keeping it knocked down. That first run though, damn. Looked like I'd fed a stick of dynamite to a cat in the bathroom
-
Welcome Rob! :)
-
Welcome mate, Manchester here!
-
Welcome!
-
Welcome Rob ... great bunch of guys here at SBG ... and clearly you will fit right in. Glad you're here.
-

:*)) :*)) :*)) Oh brother, the images running through my mind right now.... :*))

haha. It really was as bad as it sounds.
-
I moan about it but I'd never do anything about it. I can't imagine having hair on my head, but can't imagine being without it on my body.
-

These are always the best type of connection. I guess that you're using the neighbours wireless? Be interesting to know.
Here in more remote rural Australia we all use satellite -- the government pays about $2800 for the installation because it is apparently our right to have it -- bless them. Amazing to think though that everything I send has to travel about 75,000 km before it reaches fibre in Australia and passed onto the rest of the world. No wonder my ping is so slow [650 ms] -- speed of light limit.

Oh I have no doubt that is the case...

I don't mind, it's been something I've just learned to live it. My sister was saying the other night she was going to get some wax and attack me with it... all empty threats apparently!

Yeah the speed of light is so slow... :P I don't know why but I thought satellite would be faster then cable, but I guess if you are still haven't to touch down back on mainland Australia and transmit the rest via cable.

Exactly. Nothing is faster and cheaper than fibre.

Apart from a tarts knickers
-
Oh dear.

The girls were super excited when I told them that I had ordered new carpet for the living room. They asked what color? Does your human hair carpet come in a choice of colors?
Then I told them the fuller story, that they turned 'YUCK'. How funny.
great look on their faces! All three daughters (in their 20's)!
Thanks for a good laugh.

I have weirdly coloured body hair. It's very dark brown on my shoulders, back and, um, nether regions, and almost black on my legs and arms. My moustache is almost black, but my beard is brown, but a different brown to my head hair.

Hey, your avatar pic has just reminded me that I haven't yet had the pleasure of swimming without brain-box hair slowing me down and getting in the way. I was always a bit worried about it showing I was going bald when it got wet -- no more. It's gonna be great.
-
Gary~ it's a very liberating feeling. I never had the issue of going bald naturally, but it's great to get out of a pool without the feeling of having a wet helmet stuck to my noggin.
-
Welcome to the forum Rob!
And yes, swimming sly is great :)
-
Thanks :) and yes it's a wonderful feeling.
