Thanks again fellas. I shaved again this morning but think i might be overdoing it LOL
The burn from the initial shave on thursday afternoon hasn't gone away and i hate seeing those black folicles on my head.
I want this head to be baby smooth.
Maybe time is whats needed.How long would you fellas say it took before your impressive domes really looked like they do???
Jim
Jim as you read various threads the one thing you will pick up on is that shave routines vary by individual. I was wondering though if you changed YOUR routine slightly if it would help with the irritation. Trying using the exfoliant BEFORE shaving to soften the hair and remove dead skin. Often shower shaving will help as well by keeping the hair good and moist. After the shave use as cold a water rinse as you can stand. Some of the brothers even use ice cubes. This closes pores and cuts down on the irritation as well. Then apply your moisturing gel. Continue to read the various techniques routines of the other sly guys too, until you find out what works best for you

Hey Handlebar,
From another Sly Washingtonian to another, Welcome! I am from Seattle, but I do travel occasionally to the Portland area as I have relatives there. So if anyone is up to a Portland/Vancouver meet up in two weeks....let me know since I will be there for a conference and to visit relatives!

Jim,
I got to say (since you like compliments about it)
but I say it with all sincerity ..... that is one really great 'tache you got there. Love it! Also .... looks really good with the shaved head. The combo is definitely a keeper.
Great way to discover the joys of a shaved dome too
total respect for that!
So, hope you stick around Jim!
