So it was a Sunday, I had cracked open a brand new bottle of Head Slick, which those that use it can tell you that the dregs in the bottom of Headblade bottle Bottle (while they work great) are just different and not as good as a freshly opened bottle. I had changed the razor (sometimes times are tough and I would try to get as much out of a razor before changing the blades) and I was the first to shower of the day and knew I would have a nice, long, hot shower...I got a great shave, closer than it had been in a while.
So later I am in line at CostCo, felling great with a beautiful bald head, in front of me I saw a chrome dome that put mine to shame. I had never gotten a shave that looked so close and clean. Now I am an out going guy and have no problem striking up a conversation with strangers. I walked over and asked the guy, "Man! how did you get it, your head, that close?" This very tall, large (rugby player large, not fat) looks down at me and says, "I have Alopecia." I had no idea what that was, I knew from the way he said it that it was a desease, that invloves not having hair, probably against his will. I am sure I had a deer in the head lights look on my probably very red face, and stuttered out, "well, you got a beautifully head, man." I smiled and walked away. That was my introduction Alopecia.
