In the short time I've been here, I have to say I've learned a lot from you guys, and the various forums. As I don't have any sly friends outside this site, I didn't really have anybody to compare notes with. I came in here as 12 year vet of the sly game, figuring I knew quite a bit, and found out I knew almost nothing. Aside from the products I was previously unaware of (like Head slick and so on, from the Head blade company) which I will be trying just as soon as I use up my supply of Shave Secret - I've learned:
1) To exfoliate before shaving.
2) The cold water rinse after shaving.
and
3) A good dousing in Witch Hazel, post shave.
In the short time I've been here, the site has helped me achieve a whole new level of slyness O0
Yes I realize that they're only common sense to some of you, but somehow it slipped right on by that what worked well on the face would do the noggin good, as well. :-[
What has the site taught YOU?
-
I also had been shaving for a few years before coming to the site. The things that have changed for me are:
#1. Using apricot scrub.
#2. Using HB Headslick on the head
#3 Using witch hazel after shaving.
I still prefer to use the Fusion over the Headblade when shaving with a blade.
-
I came to SBG about 6 months after I started shaving my head.
I was using a Fusion razor and Edge shave gel because that's what I used for my face.
EVERYTHING else that I now know about shaving my head, I learned here.
-
I probably would not have known about the HeadBlade razor without the SBG forum.
The little piece of plastic and the backwards razor blade is an incredible combination............almost as good as sipping a margarita and listening to some Jimmy Buffett! O0
-
I learned there was a whole new world out here. I walked into this forum about 3 weeks after I started shaving and it has helped me tons. Using a headblade, headslick and ICE CUBES..lol
I also learned that I have "brothers" out there that I didnt know about.
-
This site is what pushed me to be sly. All the tips/tricks i learned, I owe to you guys.
-
i have added the cold water rinse, ice cube rub, & witch hazel. i've also discovered shave secret, baldguyz shaving gel, & headslick. i go back & forth with the baldguyz shaving gel & headslick. the sbg site has given me some "priceless" tips/advice that i use daily on my headshaving routine. O0

Oh Geez, I've learned a lot. Mostly about self confidence. I was really unsure going sly. Now I couldn't care less what others think. I love being sly, people now see me as "thats the way he has always been", and most of that confidence came from this forum.

SLYBALdDUDE...you learned to come in here and just have a great ol time didnt ya. LOL. Think I am gonna have to get my lighter out and light some of these dudes up!

I don't know what all I have learned, I just know that I have learned almost a lot from the site and plan to keep learning.

:*)) :*)) After seeing that photo, I'm seriously considering carrying my razor and oil with me, and forcibly shaving anybody who even remotely looks like that! :*)) :*))
-
Everything. I asked alot of questions ;)
Oh, also that if me and Timmayy ever end up at a CON together, one of you will need to bail us out >:D
-
I've learned about HeadSlick and ice cubes. bbbrrrr
I've also made some friends and hope to meet some in person one day.
-
I learned about the Headblade and Headslick, Bald Guyz Wipes and alcohol. I also learned that even with a full head of hair you can love being s sly dude. Most importantly I learned that you can make strong friendships on a forum that is well formatted and respectful of all its members.
-
I've learned that Shave Secret oil is great, especially when used with Headslick shaving cream. I've never had such a smooth shave.
I've learned that there really can be great forums on the internet. This is the best, as far as I'm concerned. Some great people here.
This site has given me the confidence to stick with my decision to stay sly. I basically have a full head of hair, with some MPB/thinning on top and some wonder why I just don't let the hair grow back. They don't understand how great sly is.
-
Yeah Baldy, that works great for me too.....Shave Secret under the Headslick.....good combo... O0
-
I have yet to try the secret shave. Wonder if that could be the key to a smoother shave while I am in Haiti ..using cold water.

I don't know Tim? Didn't you say you were there before? How did you shave the last time? I know you probably wasn't shaving the noggin then , but what about the face? I think maybe you should just let it go for the week, not worth getting a skin infection or something..

As far as shaving my dome just about everything I know came from here O0

Hey GASlick, I tried the ice cube trick this weekend. Great tip! I'm adding it to my routine.

You're a bigger man than I am! I'll do the cold water rinse, but the ice cube is a little over the top, for me. I just don't like anything that cold against anything other than my tongue :D
-
I learned this weekend that the CVS brand M3 razors are a 100 times better shave than the HB doubs. No cuts, no irritation, no clogging(yes, the triple blades gave me no clogging issues) And they fit the standard headblade adapter. First shave in a month that hasn't required a little use of the styptic pencil.
That's the other secret possesion I learned was needed my first month of shaving, the styptic pencil will stop any bleeding in seconds, instead of using tissue that just bleeds again when you pull the tissue of to go to work.
-
yes but Matt....those things burn like hell. LOL I have used them. One time my daughter cut her leg shaving. She was like well what is it? I just told her it was something to stop the bleeding and that you wouldnt even feel it. SHE JUMPED AROUND LIKE A MAD WOMAN. LOL...but she got over it soon because she was greatful that it had stopped. LOL
-
hey, no pain... no gain.
I didn't think it burned too bad. But it did what it's supposed to.
-
What have I learned in here? Well let me tell ya...you all are a bunch of weirdo's. Joining an online forum talking about shaving heads. What kind of people are you anyways? Next think you know ...we will be talking about shaving our armpits and legs.....lol you all are about nuts. LOL
BUT I LIKE IT!

I'm a new convert to this combo! Tried it 2 shaves back and have never had ANYTHING approach the slickness these two give you! I just bought a new bottle of Shave Secret and am gonna dump it into my Head Slick, to save the time and effort of doing one first, then the other! Gives an AMAZING shave!!! O0 O0 O0
