Time for a New Beginning by Frontier Guy on 09 May, 2012 05:23

Actually, on the 21st :-)
Greetings all, glad to be among you.
I'm 57 and just beginning to see the start of MPB; on the other hand, I turned silver/gray a long time ago. I used it to my comedic advantage but it's become tiresome.
About a month ago I got a shorter than usual haircut (my request) and really appreciated the reduced amount of care required. This week I buzzed down to a #1, and 5/21 (when I begin a week's vacation) I'll go Sly!
I think the week will give me an opportunity to figure out the technique of shaving and allow time to heal any disfiguring mishaps :-) But more so to get used to the "new" look which I am really looking forward to - bolstered very much by the support and encouragement of y'all.
I'm really not concerned what others will think (I got over that a long time ago when I began wearing a septum ring) but I don't wish to be the center of conversation. I work two jobs, so there are two "work families" to reveal myself to.
Other minor details ... I'm excruciatingly optimistic, don't take myself all that seriously (I am what I am), insist on laughter many times a day, live by mom's teaching "If you can't say anything nice ...", gay, single. And soon ... Sly!
Nice to meet y'all (and if you couldn't guess, I'm in the South). -

Welcome to the forum Frontier, don't worry, with your outlook and attitude you'll be fine. Don't sweat the actual shaving either. Be sure to buzz your remaining hair down as close as you can before you shave.
Technique will come in time, for now get yourself a good razor ( I recommend Mach III ), shave gel, and use the hottest water you can stand, and just take your time. Slow strokes and let the blade do the work, you don't need too much pressure. Enjoy the finished product, then say " I wish I had done this sooner". Many of us have done the same. Let us know how it goes.

The best time is always now! But in saying that, your plan is solid, stick with it for 30 days and you'll never go back!
