So thanks to that wonderful thing called male pattern baldness, my hairline has decided to creep back and I decided to be bald by choice rather than balding by nature. ;) :D

In San Antonio I suffered the usual young maker/newbie ridicule.... but of course got to endure all sorts of new nicknames... my fancy new suits kind of helped the guys along I'm sure.... stuff like,"The Assassin," "Howie Mandel," and "Slick,"

Then yesterday my buddy Jason came over to help me get some pics for Nathan and he shot this one of me hand-sanding and says, "Dude, you look like Mr. Clean."

ROFLMAO.

Hey, if we can't laugh at ourselves.... I guess we can laugh at the next guy! ;) But I like laughing at myself too. :D

Oh, and bonus... a shot of my shop all messy!!! :)

Just another obvious attempt for the Assassin to show off his arms. LOL

Glad your doing well Nick. Jim
 
Bubba, you should grow a pony tail.:confused::confused: Then you would look like a Mongol. HEHEHEHEHE!!!
PS: A long mustache would be cool too.:thumbup::cool::D
 
i've been shaving my head for years, i started loosing my hair at 14 :( at any rate chicks dig it!
its alot of work tho.... everyone says "that must be so easy" well its not its a pain in the butt! we spend more time shaving than they do washing and primpin.

Nick welcome to the club.... beware of the sun buddy, burned head makes sleeping not so great and when you get old ya dont want those ugly spots and the skin cancer could be bad too!

Welcome to the club Nick! :D Listen to what Jake says about the sunburn though...it's true. Get some SuperGothBlock(tm) for your head and you'll never have to look like a leper when all that sunburnt skin starts peeling :)

Oh irony...Mr. Clean in a dirty shop. Hey Nick, your shop looks alot like mine right now! I made it out to the shop for the first time in a couple of months this week and forgot how messy I left it. I haven't been out there in so long...I've been waiting on some bald-headed fellow to send me some pics that I demanded months ago before I did. ;)

J/K bro. Actually, I've just been so busy and not had the bug as of late. But it felt good to get back there, and I did grind out a new knife for a friend and remove some handle scales from another that left a gap on one side after glue up. Though it wasn't the epoxy's fault, there will be no more two-part epoxy for me. I've ordered a passle of 2-rifle kits of original Acraglas with dye. I've also got that bowie I've been working on to finish up. It's got a wave in the edge that I have to take back to the grinder to fix up before I sand it and mount the handle block. :(

Oh, and Nick...man you've got a really small head! It's almost the same size as your tiny arm! :eek::eek::D

I like I.G.'s idea of the pony tail . That should get stares .

Nick , fix your avatar , I keep waiting for the anvil to fall on your toes .
 
HaHa... :D I've already learned my lesson about the sunburn. I've actually been shaving it for two months now. I was being careful, but just had too much sun one day... oh boy a sunburned head sucks. I've never really been burned bad enough to peel very much.... so of course the first time that I am, it's on top of my head! :eek: :grumpy:

BTW- definitely not show'n off, my workouts and dietary intake have been REALLY crappy this summer and I'm in the worst shape I've evern been in. I'm supposed to hike to the top of Mt. St. Helens again on Monday, and I'm worried that I might keel over from a heart attack!!! :eek: :foot: :o
 
If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend "Head Blade" brand shaving cream. I find that Head Blade shaving cream and a Mach 3 razor works very well especially when shaving against the grain. I also find that Nutragena SPF 90+ is great on the dome for those really long days in the sun.

I second this! It's great stuff.

Also, somebody recommended something else to me years ago that works great for a nice smooth finish after shaving. Take just 3-4 drops of this stuff on one hand, rub your hands together and then rub it into your freshly shaved scalp. Sure, you'll have to go to your favorite adult store to get it, but it is the best skin conditioner and finisher that you'll ever find. Once bottle should last YEARS.

I am already a Headblade preferred customer :D I use the scrub, prewash, head lube, and their razor with the triple blade. It's a really slick system and actually pretty cheap compared to a lot of other stuff.

I'll try your guys other ideas and see how it all works for me, THANKS!
 
Lil Nicky, I bet if you put your head against the buffer with a white compound on it:confused:, it would give that thick cranium a nice luster.:eek::eek::D
 
I keep me head buzzed to a stubble and my beard at about 1/2".... that way you can't tell which direction I'm lookin'!

I was just thinking the same thing.


But I'm not, so I'll go there...


What Fitz was about to comment on was the fact that Nick's got lots of shaving experience from his years of manscaping!
:barf::barf::D


I hear ya about being in bad shape, though Nicky... did P90x earlier this year for 60 days of it, hurt my back, and managed to convert all the additional muscle mass I added into flab in 45 days time... now I look like a couple of pipecleaners twisted together and covered in chewed bubblegum. Damn.
