First week bald - page 1 -

• First week bald by gadgetwizard on 21 Jul, 2013 07:05
• Hi everyone. Newbie here
  
  So having had my hair cropped short for the unusually high uk temperatures last week, I was sitting one evening a week ago and thought. I wonder what it would be like completely shaved?
  
  Well I went into the bathroom and thought Lets do it. What have I got to lose?
  
  Wow. I'll say that again WOW. Why have I not done this before? It feels amazing. That fresh just shaved slightly numb feeling. I could not stop feeling my head. Doing it now as I write.
  
  I shaved it again later in the week and again today. I love it. Btw I use a DE razor as that's what I use on my face and I'm comfortable with it.
  
  At work I just had the most amazing compliments. Everyone thought it was a great look. Even the checkout girl in the local supermarket took a double look and then said oh wow that looks great.
  
  I am so pleased I gave it a go.
  
  Found this site and have already learnt that witch hazel is a good thing to have around so I'm off to get some tomorrow.
  
  So far brilliant. I'll post again how things are going.

• Hey, Gadgetwizard.
  
  Congratulations on going smooth.
  
  You are not the first to ask why you did not do it before. A lot of us have posted that same thing.

  What is witch hazel used for?
  

  
  It's an astringent used on the skin....In short, it's an alcohol-free alternative to aftershave; it cools the pores without the burning sensation that you get using alcohol and/or aftershave. You can find it in most drugstores and WalMart. Pretty much you would use it like you would any aftershave.

• Welcome, we can always use another bald by choice (BBC) guy here on SBG.
  
  Bald is a good choice! Looks good on you.

• Hi, here is a picture of me just before going bald. Not a very good photo but it does show my 'boy band' stage.

• From another BBC grey haired guy, isn't it great not to see that grey hair in the mirror? I think we look younger!

• Do you know i hadn't even considered the whole grey hair issue, someone said bald makes me look younger but strangely i did not connect that to grey hair.
  
  I love this..it just gets better and better.
