Blad again by Deadbob on 05 May, 2007 03:42

Hey guys... I'm back to bald and found this place "accidentally" I was actually looking for a product that moisturizes & has a stronger SPF rating than 15 (I have fair skin)... anyway, Google pulled up a topic from here, and now I'm a member
I started shaving my head in the Marines. Stupid me signed a contract that allowed the Marines to give me any job THEY wanted... I ended up as a refueler. Anyway, once I got to Cherry Point (my first duty station), being the low man on the totem pole I got all the crap. One of the things was my platoon Sgt. CONSTANTLY gave me grief about my hair cut. it got to the point that I was in the barber chair every 3 days just to keep him off my back... Well, when i realized how much I was spending on hair cuts, I gave in and shaved my head.
2 years later I got transfered to 29 Palms where I grew out my hair and went with the standard "High & tight." I was 23 at the time & I noticed that I was starting to develop a bald spot on the crown of my head. So instead of dealing with the "baseball cap toupee" or spending a fortune at HCM, I went bald again.
Well I got out of active duty & joined the Marine Reserves in 01. I continued to shave my head until 03 when I spent 8 months in Iraq. Basically I stopped shaving my head there because I never knew when I'd get a care package with new blades & shaving cream.
Well, due to a training accident, I basically tore every ligament in my left knee... thus ending my military career... After the surgery & rehab, I came home to Phoenix where I met Tiffany... Well, she met me with hair, so when I shaved, she threw a fit... needless to say, hair grew back (the things we do for love). Well 3 1/2 years and one messy break up later... I am back to the Chrome Dome Club...
Why do I shave? Honestly, because i like the look... that and being 29, I feel I am WAY to young to have a Friar's patch for a hair style
Great site guys, I hope to learn from you all...
And I will post a pic once I figure out how to get my web cam to take a still photo. -
