Re: Do you really like being bald?

i have been bald for the better part of ten years and i couldnt imagine having hair again. Sure, i get lazy and might go 2-3 days max before shaving again, but by then im going crazy, im bald by choice and before i went bald i had long hair, so i guess...

Re: Shaved Yesterday

Welcome Sultan.  From your avitar the sly look is great for a guy in a band.  And that's great advice from some of the others concerning razors.  Disposable make bad work of being sly.   Mach 3 does a great job as does the HeadBlade. 

Re: Wassup?

Sorry for the tardy welcome.  Great to have you here, Rusty.

July 4th: three years slyversary!

July 4th 2006 was the first day I took the SLY route, and I havent looked back since.  I'm so glad I took the plunge, because it's turned out to be my favourite hairstyle of them all.  Lookin forward to my fourth year SLY!

Oh I'm well aware. Heck  I didn't even start watching soccer until a few years ago. But even in that short amount of time, just based on what is shown on national networks and the overall media coverage, it is growing. I'm not naive enough to believe i...

Re: Now SLY!　Unseen before blemishes though..

Congrats, Brother.  Get yourself a good razor and you can do a better job than a barber.  Settle for nothing less than totally smooth.

Now SLY!　Unseen before blemishes though..

Well, I've gone and done the deed.　　I am now officially SLY and liking it so far.  The smoothness sure is ... different and of course all the insect bites/scratch marks are now visible.  Hopefully those will go away sometime soon because I look like I ...

Re: Shaving Cream or Gel?

I usually use the Body Shop maca root cream or Headslick but moneys been tight so I picked up some edge infused/comfort gel, its by far the best can of shaving cream/foam Ive ever used.

Giving head shaving a try again

Hey Dog,

Soap, body wash and normal shampoos have surfactants which dry the skin. Most shave gels and foams also contain surfactants. Moisturizers can leave the skin feeling greasy. Here is my recommendation to help the problem and you may think it to ...

I have a full head of hair, though it is receding around the temples.
I buzzed it when I started going grey.  I then decided to just shave it.  It has been easier, cleaner and let just face it:  it looks COOL!

Sounds to me like that interviewer has reached his "Level of Incompetence"......

Re: dilema at a job interview.

Shows what happens when brainless people get into management positions.   

I would bring it to the attention of the area manager or whoever his boss is.  I doubt that "no bald heads" is stated in their employee manual.

I don't care if you ask me, and I'm not shy to ask you!  LOL

Re: July 4th

I know!  It isn't dark at 9 down here.  Must be because Maine is further East or something.  It doesn't get dark until 930 - 945 depending on what time of the summer it is.

Crazy, ain't it!?

Re: Would you tell?

I would take it as a compliment, as most guys on this forum would.  As for asking the question to someone else, I don't think most guys would have a problem with it.  If you're also sly, just come out and ask.  If not, say something like "I used to sha...

that's kind of what i was thinking. going on vacation in a week so i may try it out then that way it grows in a little by the time i get back to work. who knows maybe i will like it and keep doing it.

I had heard that it was no good but you never know. Good luck.

It would have probably sparked a lengthy and friendly conversation about shaving. At least if it were me.

Re: Would you tell?

Turn the question around on yourself...Would it bother YOU if someone asked about your head? It wouldn't bother me, so I would assume most of us wouldn't mind. That being said, there are a-holes out there, so make sure and be nice and carry a bat!

Re: Contact lenses

Actually if you look at the savings i've had not having to buy either glasses or contacts the last nine years, It paid for itself in a few years. Back when I had it done it was pretty new and cost me $900 an eye. I think you can get it done cheaper now...

Re: What razor do you use?

I use the mach 3 with Headslick, i used the fusion for a while but the baldes are expensive, so switched back to the mach 3. i also put a thin layer of babyoil on my dome before the shaving cream, this helps with iritation.

Re: Hello! My fellow bald brothers

Welcome to SBG's BaldGuy, you've got a great attitude, keep it up.    

Re: Don't ever do that again

Shave everyday and these comments will stop.  One possible problem is that your appearance is changing every two weeks.  It throws people off.  If you shave it everyday, people will get used to it....and maybe you will too!

Re: Will I have a shadow?

Depends on what color your hair is.  I have light brown/dark blonde and I have a shadow.  It's probably more noticeable to me than anyone else.  You'll never know until you go down that road.  Good luck and we'll see you on the SLY side!
