Well, I always wanted to try the bald look.  I've sported long hair for the past 15 years.  I always figured it would be neat to go from one extreme, long hair, to the other, no hair....but I was always too chicken to cut my locks.

But I'd talk about doing it....and eventually I talked to the right person.  Talking with a coworker, I asked how weird it would be if I showed up to work bald.  I've told her it's something I've been wanting to do for years.  Well then she informed me about the St. Baldrick's Foundation.  Now, if I'm going shave off my locks...might as well do it for a great cause!  It seem perfect!  If I didn't like the look of being bald...I was still doing it for a great cause!

Well...on March 15th it was, good bye long hair, hello bald! 

I LOVE IT!

The first night was a little rough....but I got over it.  I've gotten nothing but positive reactions.  I mean, I don't think I've ever been called sexy, till I went bald!  And it makes me look younger, and it's more stylish then the long hair I've been sporting for all those years.  And I was able to raise over $1600 for the foundation.

But I am loving it so far.

I have yet to give myself a real satisfyingly smooth shave.  Like when I rub my hand front to back...it's a little sand paper-esque....but back to front...it's all smooth.  And some days it's the opposite!  I know with time I'll get better with it.  I've shaved it 6 times since the 15th.  I use a Gillette Fusion Power, and some kind of Edge gel and finish it off with vitamin E oil (it was just something I've had laying around the house).

So, that's my into.  I was so shocked to see this bald guy community online....but I guess I really shouldn't have been, knowing how powerful the internet is.  So yeah, I've been lutking the past couple days and figured I'd sign up and pop in!

Great look, great reason--congrats, it's a two-fer. 

Smooth shaves?  Look in the section on "routines" and there are lots of tips on getting a really great long lasting smooth dome.  I'm a Fusion guy too, I love it.  There are Headbladers here too--we're pretty open to anything as long as it gets you where you need to be, baldwise. 

Good to have you here.

Keep the head smooth! you look too good to grow back hair!
