So, anyways I just got finished on my 2nd shave of the day/night and the best idea ever popped into my head.
As I have posted before, I use a tanning salon daily by house. Not really for the dome anymore, but it is enjoyable/relaxing.
Anyways towards the end of the shave I had a brilliant idea. At the tanning place, there are 3 ladies who alternate shifts, who I have gotten to know pretty well. And I thought to myself, what could be more fun than bringing my necessary supplies and letting them shave my head. I figure let each one do it, on a different day. So 3 days. Plus, it saves me from having to do it myself, and would sort of be my christmas present back to them. Two of the three have sent me thank you notes since I started tanning.

Give it a shot man!

The way I figure it, what the heck. It sounds like fun to me. Plus, after an experience I had at a barbershop in old katy before thanksgiving, nothing could be worse.
It's amazing how brilliant ideas come at such random moments.
Btw, it's odd how I can accidently click modify on someone else's post, add my reply and it won't stop me from doing so.

You shouldn't have permission to do this. I'll look into this. Thanks for letting me know.

Back to the subject...
If you're going to have some fun adventures in life you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. I think it's awesome that you're going to ask them to shave your head for you.

It's fixed. Trust me it wasn't intentional. It surprised the heck out of me.

I know it wasn't intentional. I just upgraded the site a couple nights ago and I think this was a new permisson that was added.

I noticed this too.....It's when you start a topic. It's like if you start a topic you are "GOD" of that topic ;) Good if that's fixed

Great observation Rob! That was the exact setting to allow the person to modify posts in topics they started.

Any luck on this front yet David?
-
yeah david... any luck? we wanna hear this story.
-
Six days... yeah should have at least one good story. ;D

Are you still trying to get up the courage to ask the ladies (or as Noner says "Lay-dees)?
-
Alright here is what happened. One of the 3 i'm not terribly close to yet, so I didn't ask her(she's less chatty than the other two/more tough chic ish).
Anyways, thursday morning I came in to say thank you for a thank you card one of them sent me(and I sort of know when to expect them there). I told her I had a christmas present for her and she chuckled. I said I have all my stuff, and that I wanted her to shave my head. I explained that I would do all the prep(the warm water/cream or gel) and I had either my electric or the mach 3 that she could use.
She laughed but said sure. It took about 15-20 minutes, and she giggled more when customers either were leaving finishing tanning and saw what was happening, or when people entered the store. She enjoyed it though. And it was relaxing for me, plus she did a nice job(and saved me a day of doing it). However, this chick loved changing her own hair colors, etc, so it's not a terribly big shock she was way cool with the concept.
The next day I came in the afternoon/evening, when the other one who had sent me a thank you card for tanning was working. She had paperwork to do, but she could have spared 10-15 minutes(she told me as much). I asked her much the same way I did the previous one and she said "I'm not shaving your head." I asked her if we weren't at work if she would, and she still said no.
And as I said, the 3rd one hasn't sent a thank you note nor is very talkative, so I haven't gotten to know her as well, so I decided not to bother on that front at the present time.
I didn't chicken out, I still like the idea, and I told one of my fellow leaders at my church that when we are doing charity stuff that one of the auction items in the future could be someone shaving my head. Heck, i'll probably let my sister do it one of these days while she's home for break.
It doesn't bother me in the least to let someone else do it, as long as i'm not paying them money to do so.
-
She laughed but said sure.
That's awesome David!! I think I know which one you should focus your efforts on if you planned on focusing your efforts toward any of the three.

Yep, you're from the south. :P ;D

I think that joke went over my head unless it's about the sister part. If that's the case, our youth minister at the church and his family are from arkansas, and we rag on them about the whole brother being your cousin thing ;D. In texas, not so much.

I'm not going to knock AR too bad. I think all 10 hot girls from that state went to my university. And they were SMOKIN' HOT!

They had to have atleast book smarts to get in, so I would say that there was some there. Though, the school didn't have a perfect filter...I got in!

I think it was Winston Churchill who said, "I would never be part of a club who would have me as a member" What was the university thinking Tyler? Maybe trying to meet a minority requirement.

Sorry David, i'm curious, how would that be a Christmas present letting them shave your head? Would women there get some sort of thrill out of that or what? Sorry, i'm just not getting it. :-[

Well for one thing, it shows I trust them enough/feel good enough about them to let them do it(outside of two trips to the barber, I had always done the job myself) Sure it was off the wall, but these girls were my age, and at 22-23 we don't really care. It was just for fun really, but since it occurred right around christmas I called it a present(for both me and them). They also both had sent me a thank you card for tanning, and I thought this would be a fun way to say thank you. At the very least interesting.
Secondly, a lot of wifes/girlfriends shave their guys heads. It can be quite an interesting/sensual experience. A lot of women enjoy rubbing the shaved head as well. There are guys here who have significant others do it for them. Back to the story though, The one who accepted, thoroughly enjoyed it. The one who didn't, I gave a self picture I had made instead.
I'm not going to randomly do that with people I don't know, but like I already told my fellow youth church leader that at our next auction, i'd be willing to grow out hair, and let people bid on shaving my head as an auction item.

Hey Guyz just wanted to put my 2 cents in....I am a first time poster and am glad I finally found a place to hang.....I used to keep what little hair i had cropped close and it was cool and everything but then I was tired of going to the barber and figured why not (also my life was changing as my wife of 21 years gets ready to toss me out, says she does not love me anymore...lol....whatever....) so I decided to shave it all off and it has been the best decision of my life....I am loving it.....
David...the tanning salon sounds great and that one lady sounds fine for agreeing to shave it for you......
-
welcome jb. bummer about the wife. hope you enjoy the site. looking forward to hanging with you on here.
-
David,
I was thinking, maybe some of the gals were uncomfortable with shaving your head because they might of thought it was somthing that was more appropriate for a wife or girlfriend to do. While I am not saying that your motive was sexual, they might have thought that it was. Just my 2 cents worth. But it does sound kind of fun none the less!
-
...letting them shave my head....would sort of be my christmas present back to them.
I too have been a bit confused by this.... ???
I gotta hand it to David for confidently moving forward and getting a fairly positive response...
But aren't you REALLY asking THEM to do YOU a favor?
I mean, if I go to my wife and say, "I have a very special gift for you, honey....can you guess what it is?" Meanwhile she gets a twinkle of expectation in her eye. Then I say, "I'm going to let you give me a back rub."
Her nose crinkles and her brow furrows and she logically asserts, "Sweetie, if you want a back rub....just ask me....but don't think you're doing ME a favor."
Now, maybe head shaving is different somehow......but do you see where I'm a little confused? Hey, maybe I'm just an old timer who isn't up on what turns young girls on.
No offense, David, more power to ya....just MY 2 cents
-
Welcome to the group, jbw! That is an awful deal about your wife. I have a buddy whose wife pulled the same crap after 8 years of marriage and 12 years of relationship while he was away at the career course for the army (the weekend before a major presentation that was 30% of grad req). >:(
-
Hey David, I think what some guys are saying here is that you definitely get the A in confidence, but you might want to considered how you word things. Instead of "I have a Christmas present for you... shave my head" call it a "great surprise opportunity." Then explain how the gesture shows your trust to them.
Just some points that you may want to use. ;D

Fair enough, I hassled you on writing skills.

I'm one of the confused guys trying to figure out David's plan. Not knocking his plan, but I don't think that's something I'd ever think of doing.
I'd save that for either a very close female friend or a girlfriend/wife. Otherwise I'd fear that I might freak out the women.

Maybe MagmaBabe will offer a female's perspective on this...

Like, at a fund raiser, would she vigorously out-bid other tantalized and captivated females for the rare treat of shaving a guy's head. ;) 8)

Unless there are women out there that have a head shaving fetish! But I don't think hitting random women seeking out those who want to indulge in this ritual is a wise idea.
Hence the reaction of woman number 2 in his story. Might cause a feeling of uncomfort.
I still think ur the man tho David! ;D

Just as an update, the girl who was willing to do it asked me yesterday about this site(as I had told her about it/wore the shirt once there I think). Thought it was worth mentioning. It wasn't prompted or anything either.
