Title: Another New Guy
Post by: Nepthu on August 04, 2007, 08:48:41 AM
Hey guys!

Wow, this place looks popular so I wanted to add my dome to the crowd.

Can I join the brotherhood or is their a secret handshake to master first?

About me: I'm 29 and have been shaving my head for about a year. I started losing my hair in college and went through the whole freak out stage, but that's all in the past.

I love my shaved head especially when ladies ask to touch it.  I usually shave it twice a week with triple blade razors. 

Am I the only guy who enjoys the ritual of it?  Something about standing in front of the mirror sans shirt dragging blades across my head is a recall to the past, when men were warriors slaying beasts with spears.  It makes me want to put on some freakin' cool war paint and pretend I'm William Wallace.

In case you couldn't tell, I can get a little insanesometimes, but it's all in fun.

Welcome Nepthu....post up a pic. And how do you get by with just shaving twice a week?  I do it everymorning.  I like it slick all the time.

So why do it only twice a week when you could be experiencing that every day?

Stick around and we'll have you keeping your dome totally smooth, every day, in no time at all.  Welcome to the group.

Welcome, Nepthu.  yeah; there is something PRIMAL to the shaving act itself.  I think you really put your finger on it.  Good to have you in the brotherhood.   ( Post a pic when you can ! )

Hey fellas, great to meet ya.   I should shave the dome more often, but I'm kinda on the lazy side. I do like the slick skin best, but the longest I ever grow is stuble.

Here's a pic to prove I belong.  This is me w/Spidey. I'm a geek,fyi.  PBurke the name comes from an evil Wizard in the old He-Man cartoon.

I think we should all meet up for drinks and fight some guys who have the audacity to grow hair. Who's with me!!!   >:D

Welcome to the Forum Nepthu. Sly look rocks on you!

Good to see another geek amongst the crowd. As you can see i am still working on the sly look but it will eventuate.

I saw my parents tonight after lowering the clipper guard once more. Their reaction was interesting. Mum said "ohhhh my pooor baby is bald!", and asked "So what inspired this?", my answer "because i can!"

Meeting up for drinks might be hard since I'm in Australia.

That would be an interesting picture though, a group of Sly guys sitting in the pub domes all shiny :)

I'll stop day dreaming now!.

Out

Hey bro..you wear the sly well.  Marvel comics fan here.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm told I have two looks. Sans glasses =  the cool look w/glasses= the intellectual look.

Outsider, part of the fun is the shock factor.  People who knew me with hair used to be really surprised.  I remember when I first shaved it, I thought I really stuck out, but when I was in public no one seemed to notice.  I find the only people who are surprised are the ones who knew you with hair.

Paul, great to know another fanboy is here!

oops, kinda went off topic there for a bit, sorry!  ::)

welcome to the forum Nepthu.  :)
BA's right, I am quite partial to a geek or two (being one myself)
I'm not a spidey fan though, always thought that Peter Parker was too much of a wuss
(and I'm not a fan of the movies either, but whatever floats ya boat I guess!  ;))

Well I'm new myself to this, but believe it would be rude not to jump in and say yo.  Can't tell ya if you'll fit, but heck I don't know where I fit either.  Like the geek stuff, that seems to be where I am most at home.  The whole nickname comes from being a cook in the Air Force and played with different operating systems as a hobby.  Creates the whole "UNIX Chef" name.  I have since switched the roles.  I cook for a hobby now.
