Hey there, guys. The name's James, but you can call me Digory...it's my middle name. I've been toying with a beard the last few years; on again off again. Well, my noggin has been fading in the hair department right at the top of my head. It's not too bad, but I'm not a big fan of comb overs and trying to hide things about myself in general. So, I went ahead and started cutting my hair short. I liked it short, so I tried bald. I nicked myself several times, and it took forever. Then my scalp was really tender...it just wasn't fun. AND to top it all off, I didn't even get that baby-smooth shave! So instead I had a 5 O'clock shadow over my whole head. Not fun.
Well, I found this site by chance and was reading some awesome posts about products and methods for shaving the ol' noggin. I went and got a Headblade and some St. Ives exfoliating wash stuff. I only had ten minutes before I had to be out of the house...so I had to rush. But I shaved my head down and awesomely smooth. No nicks, VERY minimal bumps, and no scalp irritation! I tell you what...it's damn sexy. And people wanna touch it. haha!
I didn't write this up to promote any product...I just wanted to give some background about me and let you bald guys know that you helped me out a lot, and I am honored to be a new member here at the site. I'll get a pic to ya soon...but for now: Take it easy...never sleazy.

Ready for some before and after? I would have gone bald sooner, but I am a bass player and was in a band with two guys who went bald. We played hard rock...it was bad enough with 2 baldies, but 3 baldies would have surely made us look like we were something we weren't. Hahaha. The band is over, so bald it is.

Me thinks this poster smells like rotten fish.
He said he didn't write his post to promote a product? :o
How can a first-timer get such a letter perfect headshave with just one use of the headblade?? Had a 5 O'clock shadow with other razors, and then miracles upon miracles upon using the headblade after only one try his head is as he puts it is "awesomely smooth". :Xo!
Welcome J Digory.

Your before and after pics speak for themsleves. No matter how you got SLY, it suits you. O:O

Hey JD...
the bald head looks great and with the beard, you still have a nice "rock edge"!
Thanks for posting the before and after...I'm sure you inspired others to go SLY! 8)

Slysurf, just telling my story, man. Seriously, I'm not a paid promoter of headblade. I just am so enamored with it I find it hard not to share my success with it. I used several different razors and I had nicks all over my head, and the biggest issue I had was trying to get hats on my head. Has anyone ever had the shave that looked bald, but you had enough hair on your head that your scalp acts like Spider-man's fingers and grips to anything that brushes it? I HATE that effect. Hate it with a passion! Oi vey!
I found what works for me, and now I am smooth. No issue wearing hats or having people fondle my head, which is inevitable.
Anyway,
Me thinks this poster smells like rotten fish.

Welcome JD!
Good to have another fully bearded sly guy here! I know my avitar needs to be updated as I grew a full beard again!
-
Hey SlySurfer, the HB really does gives me better results than any other razor combination I've tried. Don't knock it till you try it. I can't imagine shaving any other way and don't know if I would be a daily shaver without it.

Welcome Digory!!!!!!

welcome, dude. The new look is flawless. How long have you been playing bass?

James, welcome to SBG!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
"Time2shine", I've been playing bass for...(this is where I do the math)...17 or 18 years. Not really that long, to be honest. I've got a Musicman Bongo 5-string bass that I love dearly. Do you play an instrument?

Hey J Digory, welcome to the SBG site, good to have you join us.
Sounds like you are loving the smooth, slick dome.
It's good to hear you chose the HeadBlade too, it's what I have used since I started almost a year ago (next month). It is no doubt the best tool for the job, and don't listen to what some of these guys may say. (some of their posts come from out in left field).
You will soon see who I mean.
Anyway, enjoy the newly smooth dome, and keep that mutha' smooth and shiny! O0
