Title: Hi guys and girls
Post by: skin on May 04, 2013, 02:43:52 AM
Found this brilliant forum and thought it only polite that I introduce myself  :)

I have been sporting a buzz cut (about a #1) for about 4 years when my receder got too noticeable.

Summer is coming and I fancy a nice shiny bonce to dazzle people with (plus the #1 cut is beginning to bug me now).

I have never shaved my head before, but I have taken valuable advice from this forum and ordered a Headblade ATX, headblade slick, lube (glossy) and some witch hazel.

So when these arrive I am going sly!

It is strange that I already have a #1 cut, but that next albeit small step to "bald", seems huge! :px

When I have done the deed I will update my pic!

Well done on creating such a strong, supportive community  O0

Welcome to the group! Nice to have another fellow UK resident on board. Good luck with the jump from #1 buzzcut to bald. It feels like a big jump but trust me it's definitely worth a go. If you don't like it a few days down the line it will be back to grade 1.

And so you should ! It will look great and you'll enjoy parading it around and catching your own reflection.

Welcome to SBG Skin.

I know that you will love being sly. You will love the smoth feeling on your dome. You made good choices on headblade products. Headblade glossy will give your dome a nice shine, I use it a lot myself. I like a good shine on my noggin. Looking forward to hearing about your experience and seeing a picture of your sly dome.

Welcome!  I think you will look great once you go all the way.

Any questions you may have, someone here can answer it - this is a great community!

I am currently growing my hair out a bit and everyone who comments on the feeling of the smooth vs the fuzz is 100% spot on -- there is no comparison between fuzz and smooth, no matter how short the fuzz may be.   :)

You will be amazed at how much better the smooth dome feels than a #1.  Enjoy the difference.

The deed is done! ;)

Couldn't wait for the headblade to arrive, so I picked up a Gillette Fusion.

Shaved WTG and only took about 10 mins. Just relieved I didn't cut myself!

What d'ya think?  ;D

Looks good on you mate. Well done. A nice bit of natural shine as well by the look of your profile picture!

Looks great, like it's always been that way. I know how you feel about waiting for the Headblade, I literally had the cheap and nasty stick razor in hand, I could take no more and then the postman knocked on the front door, "a package for you sir, please sign here"

you have an exciting new toy about arrive that I am sure you will love using. Wow that Headslick is good stuff too. Let us know how you go! :)

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback  O0

Just been outside for 30 mins to try and start some colour on it  ;) Got a bit nervous and slapped factor 30 all over it!

Yeah Adamski1972, I am pleased there is a bit of natural shine there.

Crowbar - tomorrow the Headslick is going on  8)
