My first time...

...shaving my head, not that other thing. Not that kind of forum.
This is my first post, so hi everyone, I'm Cameron, a law student from Nebraska.
Anyway, on to the story: my buddy and I were in basic training for the Army. We finally got past a "phase" where we were responsible for our own hair. Neither of us had shaved before, but armed with a dozen Bic's and a can of shaving cream, we went to it. Well, as you all know (and we now know), a pair of clippers is pretty much a must. Especially when your hair is about 1/2" long. Stuck in the barracks, we had no such option.
As you may have experienced, that is a quite a painful experience. We would have stopped, too, except that we had "thrown our hats over the wall", so to speak, with the first razor scrape. I do love that about shaving your head; there is no turning back.
So, hacking away, chunks of hair falling (and perhaps a bit of scalp or too), we finally got down to the real stuff. And man, was it worth it. I'll tell you, shaving for the first time and then throwing on a perfectly starched military uniform is the definition of bad--the good kind of bad.
Upon exiting the barracks for the first time with the new setup, the drill sergeants laughed. But the effect was clear: they put me in charge of the 60 person crew the next day.
Thanks for reading.
