Title: HI!
Post by: schwank on July 05, 2013, 04:52:00 AM
Hello Everyone,
I Started shaving my head about 4 years ago, it was apparent that the hair was leaving... I tried a little rogaine for a few years, but it was expensive made me itchy and since i was thinning sunscreen was a problem :).  Two other friends of mine had Shaved their head because the thinning was winning, so I decided that's what I wanted to do too. I started off with clippers set on 3, after a month it was no guard, then it was a really nice panisonic wet/dry electric razor, then it was the shick Hydro 5, and about 4-6 months ago I took the plunge into "double edge safty razors". If anyone is looking to start that Id suggest a "lord L6" off of amzaon for about 13 bucks, some pre shave oil, and some head slick.

Going slick-bald was very liberating. I was smooth by choice, instead of thinning by nature. Sure some of my friends were a little shocked, but once everyone saw me the excitement was over. and now everyone I meet thinks this is the way I always was.

Dadgum it, Schwank.

I had a mouthful of coffee when I saw that pic.  I just finished wiping off the monitor after my reaction.

Thanks for the humor.  You look great.  Please make that your avatar.

And Welcome.
