New to the board AND to being bald!!
« on: April 14, 2010, 07:54:59 PM »
From Western KY, got tired of being conscious of my balding head... My wife LOVES bald !!

So a few a weeks ago we trimmed my head with a #1 blade,
 I found this site last night...

 Spent some time reading the board today at work, read about the personna M5 razers, stopped on the way home and bought a razer....

The wife did my first shave tonight!!! My head was alot more sensitive than I thought it would be... and the hair tougher...

Right on and Welcome  O0
Make sure you apply the 30 day rule as well. So you mentioned that your head seems sensitive and hair seems tougher, you might want to invest in an exfoliator.....there's alot of good protocol's here so enjoy doing your own investigating and let us all know if you need help and advice.

Welcome and its great to see your wife as a participant in the process!  So many guys are worried about how their wives will react.  Its great to be with someone who is supportive!

Welcome! Take some time and read the threads about "shaving routines". It'll give you some ideas of prep- which is very important to a good shave.  O0
