Title: Bald is getting mainstream...
Post by: zetaeffe on June 03, 2008, 05:09:06 PM
When I was in the USA in 2005 I bought Banana Boat quick dry... look at the first pic...
Yesterday I went to the online store and found the second pic...
Look carefully at the label!!  ;)  a big step further since 2005!! Anybody can tell the
difference??

Yup, nice find!

It's about time...I think too many MPB dudes that aren't shaved smooth forget the sunscreen too...

bad move!

I noticed the same thing.  You can definitely tell who they are targeting.

I may give it a try, too.  I use the regular Banana Boat but I find it to be a little greasy.

More often than not, I go for a fairly long walk at lunchtime, so this time of year, it's important to remember the sunscreen.  I usually try to sneak unobtrusively into the men's room, just before lunch, with the tube of Banana Boat hidden in my pocket.  If nobody's in there, I quickly slap some on the noggin.  I'd feel really uncomfortable, even after all this time, if anyone walked in while I was putting it on.  So far, it hasn't happened yet.

That was my vacation beard.  I've worn the patch below my lower lip for a couple of months now.  I grew the chin out during my trip to Florida.  The hair is so light that it doesn't show up very well in pics.

Looks good.  You still got it, or did it bite the dust before you went back to work?

So far I've just trimmed it down.  I can't decide whether to keep it or not.

When in doubt, do nothing.  Whenever I've been undecided and ended up shaving, I've always ended up regretting it.  I tried the Mr. Clean thing last September or October and it didn't last very long.  The thought of trying it again has crossed my mind a few times lately, but so far I've resisted, when I remember how much I hated it the last time.

That's what I'm doing for now.  I just keep it trimmed really short.  I just wish it were darker.  The times that I've tried the Just for Men, it didn't look natural.

Yeah, I don't know what I'll do when the grey really starts to become a problem.  I really wasn't digging the Mr. Clean thing.  I didn't think it would be so hard to get used to, but I really didn't like it at all.

Cool pic...just curious...did you shave your eyebrows at one point? If you did, it looks pretty natural in the photo.
