Finally Sly by Cap on 03 Sep, 2014 18:49

You guys have helped me out more than you know. I just became a member because I recently went sly, 3 days ago and it's liberating!! But before the big plunge, I spent a lot of time reading your posts.
I'm almost 40 with no hair loss. But for years I have dealt with a skin condition on my head that has been almost unbearable. The scalp condition has gotten so bad that it has went from just itchy and irritated to hurting on a daily basis. I've tried every shampoo and lotion that I could find. Nothing worked. Last year I started buzzing it short with the guard on a #1. But that just made it to where people could see the redness and scabs.
So I came up with the idea that if I shave my head, no more problems. And to my surprise it worked!
My head is so much better. I can put moisturizer right on my scalp and there has been no out breaks in 3 days. Thank all of you for the much needed info on the ins and outs of getting on the sly track.
I'm using a Gillette Fusion with regular shaving cream and after shave with moisturizer. I have the 5 pack Bee Bald products coming to me. And am reading about upgrading my blade to a safety razor. Also working on getting some color on my head by staying in the sun for 30 min a day (sunscreen on of course).
Nice to be part of the gang. And am welcome to any suggestions.

Welcome Cap, I know exactly what you are talking about. I had some kind of dermatitis on my scalp for many years. To my surprise, it disappeared after shaving my head. By shaving daily, I have zero breakouts. This week I didn't shave for 3 days in prep for my first barbershop shave, and I already had a couple blemishes starting. So many advantages to being bald!!

The sly look does suit you well. The goatee is a great addition to the look
