My hair was getting kind of long and shaggy, so instead of just trimming it I decided to shave my head. I used a Gilette Sensor 3, but I got some nicks, so when I shaved it again this week I used a Shick Quattro. I'm not sure if I'll maintain it bald, but I'm certainly open to shaving it again.

Welcome rb. Looks sly bro. If you do stick with the slick dome try using a different razor. I know from experience the Quatro will rip your head apart. But then again, if it works for you I guess keep it. But a Mach 3, Fusion, or HeadBlade are some really good ones. Stick around and post up man. Glad you found us.

Hey rockingbeat, thanks for joining SBG! You're looking very Sly!
-
Hi rockinbeat,
I'd say stick with it - you look like a natural O0 rockin to the sly beat O0
-
Rockingbeat, I guess you have to give it the mandatory 30day trial period and see how you like it.
Welcome to SBG's ,there is a wealth of info and knowledge here and a great group of guys/gals. O0

Looks like a keeper Bro

Wlcome to the club. If I was you I would keep it shaved!

Seems liek everyone is telling you the same bro. I would say keep it and go wtih the 30 day trial period. Like many others, I have found once I shaved it the first time....its an everymorning ritual in the shower for me. Just read up on some of the old post...use some of the pointers everyone has posted....and im sure you onto the sly world for good.
Congrats man...i say keeper sly!

Welcome to SBG's rockingbeat!
I will agree with the other slyguys', you should give it a 30 day period, get used to shaving, (use our wealth of knowledge from other threads).
Maybe try a different blade and go slow. I think it will "grow" on you (pun intended).
You rock the sly well. Keep it. O0

Welcome rockinbeat!!! Keep it SLY, it is a good look on you.

Before you change razor, remember good Dr. Terwilliker's motto: "practice makes perfect".

Lookin' SLY dude! Congratulations! O0

Rockingbeat. first of all, Welcome. I had been using the quattro titanium for about a month and thought that it was a really good razor. Almost as good as the Fusion at about half the price.
-
Welcome, Rockingbeat. Nice dome -- looks like you were made for the Sly pate.

Thanks for all the support- my sister saw it on Facebook and thought it was on a dare! :) I just shaved again this morning. I'm going to try the Fusion to see how it compares. I'm a Junior in college, and my real name is Adam. This actually isn't the first time I shaved it- Freshman year a friend in my hall buzzed it off and I charged "admission" to my hall mates. I let it grow back, but I've been looking at pictures at myself and noticed I usually didn't care enough about my hair to keep it trimmed and neat looking, and I notice it was receding a bit, making my widow's peak stand out. It's not like I was trying to hide my baldness or anything, it's just something I was curious about trying. I really like how it feels freshly shaved, and will definitely give it the "30 day trial." A classmate told me I looked like Mr. Freeze the first day I came to class with my head shaved :) I think I'll probably shave it only Monday, Wednesday and Friday when I don't have class until the afternoon and I'm not in a rush. Good advice elsewhere on the forum for using baby lotion- I like how soft it makes my scalp. I'll check back in and let you know how I like the Fusion- and whether it is worth the premium price!

rockingbeat....i'm a fusion (manual) user. it gets me the smoothest. u might want 2 check out e-bay 4 some good deals. so far...walmart has the cheapest prices on the fusion. but check out ebay if u like how the fusion works.

Welcome to SBGs, rockingbeat! 8)

Rockingbeat, welcome aboard! I'm sure the euphoria over your sly dome will "grow" on you as you try it out for 30 days - worked for the rest of us!
-
Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while, but allow me to welcome you to the SBG family rockingbeat. As all of the others have said, you should keep the Sly look, or atleast give it the recomended 30 trial, but I'll bet you'd decide to keep it after the first young lady walks up to you and gives you your very first Head Rub as a Sly Bald Guy O0

I used the Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titaniium here in the UK. I believe it's the same as the Schick Quattro. For my face I use the Fusion Power.

Looks great man. You defintely have a great head shape for it. O0

I tried the HeadBlade and the Fusion- really liked how smooth a new Fusion makes it, but I noticed after a few times it leaves some spots kind of rough. I didn't really like the HeadBlade as much. I guess you have to practice, but I'm doing fine with a normal razor on a handle :) I like Fusion's shave gel- but probably any gel is the same. I like Gillette's aftershave gel and BaldGuyz moisture gel. I just tried witchhazel- it seems like it will help with any shaving irritation. Thanks for all the advice on this forum.

rockingbeat welcome! I just joined myself. Shaving will get better. The first time I shaved with my Headblade I took a strip of flesh out of my head almost an inch long. Now 2 years later, it is a cinch. Keep with it my friend! O0

I got the HB yesterday in the post but have not tried it. I'm a bit cautious at the moment because of hearing mixed stories about nicks etc etc. I currently use the Wilkinson Sword Titanium Quattro and have not experienced a single cut yet.

Just take it slow and keep the pressure on the wheels shakf and you should be ok. Using Headslick or an oil will help too.
-
Yes, shakf, like Paul said; take it slow and no pressure on the blade.
Try to get used to the feel of the HB in your hands. (use both).
If you stick with it, you will find yourself getting better each day.
Headslick is also one of the best shave creams to start with.
Good luck! O0
