Hello! New member - first head shave
« on: July 01, 2012, 12:43:12 AM »
Hello guys!

First post here, so an introduction is needed.
I'm Andrei, Andrew - for the English speakers, and most important, I  shaved my head for the first time yesterday.
As a little background, I've been 0 buzzing for the last 6-7 months, but only yesterday finally used the blade.
No cuts so far and the shaving process didn't take too long; reading and lurking around here definitely payed off.

I have to admit, I only shaved with the grain, but it's still shaving, right?

Cheers!

Cool then, but I do hope my shaving skills will improve.

Beardman, congratuliation! Many more good head shaving days to come! (this might be an English fail, but I don't know the right congratuliation formula for the 30 days Rule)
It's good to know that, because right now I'm more interested in perfecting my technique and I'm not worring about the shaving time at all.

Welcome Andrei.

So ... is all of Romania going Sly? That would be an awesome international distinction!

You are clearly on the right path - don't rush, take your time to establish good shaving skills. The time will decrease if you need it to. Personally, I allow more time in the mornings just so I can be leisurely and enjoy the experience.

Glad you've shed your "lurk" mode. Hope you will contribute often.

Thanks for the welcome!

I don't know about the entire country, but there are a few men that sport short haircuts. Most of them go with a buzz cut and just few choose to give the blade a good use.

Well, the experience... it's one of a kind, but you know that by now.
Some time ago I read an article which stated that any man should try at least once in his life time to shave his head. Couldn't agree more now that I've tried it and plan to make a habit out of it.

i'm about 6 months behind you Andrei. first shaved my head in January. It's been a fun adventure. This site has been helpful. Hope you find that, too.

You 'll look excellent with a shaved head.
