Contemplating going the whole hog, so to speak.

[Todo Duro]

Welcome aboard mate!
Can only second what all the guys said, if you're already buzzing it down, shaving is a small step in technique but a giant leap in confidence... so go ahead, you can rest assured the missus will love it too

If you're a bit wary of starting with a DE razor, a good disposable'll do to begin with. Lots of hot water, lather well, easy does it

Keep ducking in to have a look at the plethora of information when I get two seconds, but have yet to find enough time to physically do the deed! Lots happening in my life at the moment, this weekend is a go-er though. Actually a bit excited! Wifey even said she'd help shave the back if I needed her to.

Avatar is just buzzed right down with beard trimmers no guard. Still stubble.

  for the pendant by the way!

Go for it bro

[aussiebloke]

I've done it!
Boy does it feel fantastic.   
I began with a cheap multi blade disposable I found un-used from when I didnt use a saftey razor, and was tentative about putting blade to scalp so began with that. Warm towel to the noggin, lathered with boar brush and taylor of old bond st sandlewood soap as per usual face routine, rinse and lather again. Shaved the dome with the cheap razor and felt it wasnt close enough so braved the areas I can clearly see with my DE - wonderful! I can still feel slight stubble around my crown but I'm sure I'll tackle that more closely with practise. The wife inspected for missed areas and then I slapped on some moisturizer.

So liberating!
Will post a photo when I'm next on the computer, I am currently on my phone.

Congratulations! Although the avatar looks pretty close, nothing like the feeling of super smooth! The glasses and facial hair are a nice touch also!

Great job mate,

Hope you are loving it! It feels good doesn't it?

[topdawg70]

Sweet!  I will be going whole hog soon myself. Wading into the razor zone I think is fine, little by little I keep getting shorter and shorter.  I think my head is adjusting well each time.  Will be in your spot soon. Great job.

[aussiebloke]

I am loving it! Shaved again this morning and certainly need to buy a nice easy razor to handle. I can use the DE no problems on the areas I can see, but the cheap razor I used for the back and crown was not comfortable. I ended up with a small knick.

Here is a photo, as promised. Do excuse the unruly facial hair, I had yet to shave my cheeks.

Nice. Does not sound like you need the 30 day rule to realize that this is a keeper.

[Lynchy]

Those glasses really compliment the look IMO!

[Frontier Guy]

Distinctively handsome.

[Sir Harry]

Nice!
