This....place.....is.......spectacular....'nuff said.
« on: July 13, 2012, 06:58:16 PM »
Three days ago, in the middle of the night, I decided to do my usual home clipper trim.
Got it all together, when outside on the porch, clicked on and started....for about .08sec.
No clipper blade on it.
THOSE words (and worse) that used to get my mouth washed out with soap emerged in a machine gun pattern.
I had ran the clippers nearly 2" straight up my forehead toward the top of my head.
Having kept my hair clipper short for most of my adult life, (I'm 41) like a #2 sides and a #3 top, I tried to calm myself down and
say "Ahhhh....it will grow back, finish the job! So, I did.
I was correct, it wasn't THAT bad, but it looked.....hmmm....unfinished. 
Then EPIPHANY!!
I'll shave the rest off.
Inside...wash head....lather scalp....3-4mins later...bald.
Bloody, bumpy, abraided and blotchy..but bald.
Another shower, so I didn't resemble a machete attack survivor, and to bed.
The next day I jump on the laptop because I knew there must be someone, at least ONE, person that might be in the same boat as me and I could glean some wisdom from.
Google search "new bald help" and short-ish story shorter, I find HERE. O0
LURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURK....etc...etc...
Today??
After a St Ives Invigorating Apricot exfoliation scrub, a slooooooow, deft HeadBlade Sport shaving with Head Slick, a double rub down with Witch Hazel and Nivea for Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
My pale noggin looks over 100% better and, well, just pale and SMOOTH!
All of the information I gathered from here turned a bad situation into a much, much better
one. One that I like, a lot.
Sooooo......
My name is Keith, that's a little bit about how I found myself here, a member (soon to be a contributing one I'm sure) and THANK YOU!!!!!

I did that once, by accident, just before a speaking trip.  Ok. Buzz the head all over. No guard.  Well at least it looks uniform.

And look at me today.  Shaved smooth. You'll love it.

Welcome to the sly world.

Thank you gentlemen for the welcomes.
So far so good on the likes of the new "non-do"
......sounds like half of a greeting from Mork.....
What is also very cool, is I am recognizing ALL of the members welcoming me as
the ones I got my info from.
From Dandruff to shaving bumps to your wife not liking the attention from Stewardess' and on and on.
30 Day challenge....I'm up for that.
Very affable forum. 
Glad I found ya'll

Welcome Keith!
My first no guard buzz was by accident too, but looking back in time, I don't regret it.

I jump on the laptop

Is your lap top still working after you jumped on it ? ;)
