Howdy, I'm from up here in the great northwest in Washington. I just cut off my 1 and a half foot ponytail and went to skin. The first time I razored my noggin i was loving it. Then after 3 days in a row shaving it, my scalp just couldn't handle it and it began to get irritated. So now to avoid daily shaving, I have purchased a waxing kit, and despite all the negative i have read about it, I'm letting my hair grow a bit so I can rip it all out. I plan on getting it on video and posting it so everyone can enjoy watching the excruciating pain that I'm expecting.
I'm looking forward to learning the ways of the dome

Welcome and whoa, that's going to be one rough task. Maybe you should check into the routines and other threads first to see if a less drastic means could work.
-
Welcome to SBG! Good luck with the waxing.
-
Welcome bro...what part of the Great Northwest...I'm in the "Couv" area...

to keep their "cool" edge!

Welcome Wildo. Ponytail to sly, eh? Courageous. Great to have you with us.
-
Dude.... Welcome...... and you are crazy.... :*))
-
welcome Wildo!! Shave every other day if your skin is irritated.
Not only that but I would suggest that you use some Bald Guyz moisture gel after you are finished with shaving, it practically eliminates the irritation you feel. Finally, get your hands on a quality shave gel/cream and feel the difference.

Welcome Wildo!!

Hey Wildo!
Welcome. You are one brave dude to be thinking about waxing the dome. Good luck. If you go through with it, consider doing a video and putting it on youtube. I want to hear the scream.
On the other hand, you might want to consider some of the less drastic approaches put forward on this board. The guys here have lots of shaving wisdom. You should listen to them.

That is about as bad as someone saying they waxed their "Nads" Not me....no way. Good luck dude, I bet we see blood shed!

Wildo, welcome to Sly Bald Guys. The Sly look is great for you, especially with the beard.
I want to say one thing about the plan for waxing: Don't do it!
You're new to head shaving. Your scalp is going to be irritated at first. A lot of guys on this forum shave every other day because of shaving irritation. I personally find I get smoother shaves on an every other day routine. Prep and after shave care are also imperative. It will take a while for your scalp to toughen up.
Read some of the threads on shave routines before you consider anything as drastic as waxing.

Welcome! And "OOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH!! :'(

Welcome to the site - looks good. Maybe try shaving with the grain for a short period of time just to acclimate your head to being shaved.
-
wowzas bro....don't do the wax!
the irritation from that will be INSANE.
i'd just stick to shaving every other day. thats what i do now
-
Welcome aboard, Wildo. I think you just earned the monicker, "CaaRazeee Wildo" what with this quest for waxing the nob. YIKES!
Seriously, shaving's not bad after you get the routine figured out that works the best for you.
-
Welcome Wildo. All I have to say is, OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
-
Welcome to SBG's! Everything you need to know can be found in the forums! And the dome looks Great! If you do the waxing you HAVE got to post the video!
-
Welcome Wildo. I have to say nix the waxing as well.
Since you just shaved after having long hair, your scalp is going to be a bit irritated.
Go with the grain until you get accustomed to the blade, and try some of the special lotions for after shaving. Aloe vera would definitely help.
There's plenty of info and tips in the headshaving section, read up on it.

Welcome dude!
I went from long hair to shaved, Andre nailed it saying it helps keep the edge!! If you do end up waxing it, not that I would recommend, please post a video lol!
Where is the Wildo name from, because in school I was called Wildo (Baggins) because I was so short!!

Welcome and as Andre asked, what part of Washington are you from? I am over by Spokane.
You are one brave/crazy dude to wax your head.

Wildo, Man I have to tell you, waxing really hurts. I waxed my chest once before and by the 3rd strip I wanted to kill the girl doing the wax job. :x! I assume you've never had anything waxed before. You'll probably bleed and it will be 100 times more irritating than shaving ever was. Don't do it man.

Wow from a pony tail to a sly head...Impressive

After getting quite drunk one night a couple years ago friends of mine convinced me to let them try and wax my legs. They got about 30% done before I started to bleed from the roots!
