Tis Done! by OMBrandon on 01 Jun, 2012 22:08

I have to say, it was an adventure getting my hair all shaved down to a smooth head, but it is finally finished. I'm sure you have all had plenty of practice, but I was surprised about how long and tedious the process was.
Thanks for the support and I'm looking forward to the 30 days
I'm looking forward to posting the responses I'm getting from friends and family!

Great! Congratulations on embarking on the journey. It's an awesome feeling isn't it?
The first few days after I went Sly I allowed extra time in the morning, but my morning routine quickly returned to the same length as when I was shampooing, toweling, combing, etc. It probably could go faster now (after 2 weeks) but I quite enjoy the ritual and spending that short time just on "me."
Looking forward to the reactions of those around you (and yours as well). I expect you will be surprised at the supportive comments, and that one or two will surprise you for one reason for another.
Keep us posted. Remember we're here to be supportive.
Enjoy your "new" life. -

Congratulations, Brandon. Well done. May we have a peek?
The first shave does take longer. A lot longer. Over the next few months, your daily head shave time will reduce. I can be done it about 4 minutes now. Used to take 30 or so. Head Blade helps. But don't go that fast at first with the head blade.
Welcome to sly. May you be sly for life. -

Welcome Brandon!
It takes me about 6 minutes to shave my face and head (WTG & ATG). -

Great to have you on board Brandon. That "long and tedious" process WILL get shorter with time and experience. Any questions arise, just ask away.

Hi there Brandon.
Congratulations on taking the leap and welcome to the group.
The first few times you may find yourself asking if it is all worth it as you do spend more time than with hair, however it does get faster, and you may develop an new enjoyment of shaving.
I highly recommended the Headblade for smoothness and speed, but why rush every time? I enjoy the whole grooming ritual and trying new methods.
I am on day 33 and I have not looked back. I don't think I will ever go back.
I'm posting from my BB, so even if you have posted a pic by now, I still cannot see. I hope to see one of you from my Mac soon.
All the best! -
