Oi Baldy!!!! 50 Grades of Bald: A love affair with shaving products

Smooth shave and my head smells glorious!!!!

I have never really been one to pamper my head with specific products for shaving, I never did it when I started shaving my face so it never made sense to me. I take a little more time over razors as I have managed to remove over an inch of skin from my scalp with an own brand razor. However i’d probably just go with a familiar premium brand. I was biased if it was being endorsed by a sports star who enjoys “the closer shave with it’s three blade action…. blah blah blah”. Give me shower gel and a razor that doesn’t bite i’ll be fine.

That all changed, last Christmas my Mother-in-law bought me a Molton Brown shaving soap. It was glamourous, but it sat on the shelf I was always meant to give it a try but never did. That was until I read TheBaldNation.com’s various product reviews. Maybe products do make a difference, perhaps i should care a little more. That day everything changed. My love affair with Molton Brown soap as written for 50 shades of Grey

I was nervous, i had never done this before, a virgin. I felt my hands thumble the curves of Molton Browns exterior. I pinch slightly, Molton unravels and soon we are both naked. I run a hand across the body gently massaging, water cascades between my fingers. Soon we are cheek to cheek, Molton smells so good, a feeling rushes through by body as I feel Molton caressing the stubble across my head. Once Molton finished it was time to go back to my familiar Gillette,  I knew this was the best a man could get. And with small and precise movements Gillette touched me in way’s nothing else had. This triangle of Me, Malton and Gillette was new but exciting. I felt like a new man i touch myself I felt good.

So as you can gather i’m a changed man. As i’m on the road it’ll be hard for me to pick up products to review but if i come across anything whilst in Asia sure i’ll give it a go but for now I shall continue my relationship with Molton Brown

Oi Baldy!!! You look like Vin Diesel!!!!

Well i’ll take that compliment!!!!

So apparently i look like this guy, or apparently i do to the population of Asia. Since travelling I have worked, lived and met hundreds of Asian friends. Whenever I have my likeness compared to movie stars or celebrities they always come up with Vin Diesel. Thank you very much.  I also hold a broad shouldered stocky frame, more muscle than fat I hope. However compare that to my 5’3″ size I don’t see the likeness. Growing up when I was a little wider it was this guy, Danny DeVito

So short fat and bald

Some young schoolgirls once likened me to Pitbull, which makes sense if I put on a pair of shades, my Bald head turns me into the Superstar

I have even had Bronson britains most violent inmate, but i think that’s a stretch

as for America, Australia, Britain this comparison always seems to amuse you

So thank you Asia i will take to looking like Vin Diesel as a huge compliment as for the Ozzies, Yanks and my fellow countrymen you can all bugger off!!!!!!

Sometimes i just don’t have the internet, what a bugger but in that absence I have decided to write a small book/ Self Help Guide/ My thoughts/ Jargon about being bald. What could be so wrong about being bald you say? Well, nothing! and that is exactly my point. So watch this space and i’ll post a few more blogs your way now i’ve stopped for a bit. If your a taveller or also interested send me a message.

Oi Baldy!!!! Why does my Grandad still combe his 3 hairs

From Teddy to Bobby

Try to picture my Grandad in his 20’s. An English teddy boy, charmer, ladies man, living for the weekend. More Grease slicked through his jet back hair than a chip shop fryer. For example these two young men

Now lets age him by about 50 years, still holding on to distant youth my Grandad now sports the Sir Bobby Charlton (one of Englands most legendary footballers)…..

….What does that man see in the mirror?.

Still Convinced

As he did all those years ago, he takes his grease and his trusty comb and sweeps the several strands of hair over his chrome dome. His bald head gleaming through what little hair he has left. So what good does he think it does? Is he still convinced no-one will notice the cover up? A few years ago when it was thicker he may well have managed to pass it off at a stretch. Although he is not the only one of this senior generation who does it.

It’s a generation thing

To quote the this article i found http://sciencemags.blogspot.com.au/2010/01/psychology-of-comb-overs.html

Sociological thinkers (and people with a great deal of extra time on their hands) suggest that combover practitioners fall prey to the sorites paradox. Essentially, the sorites paradox describes how small steps that seem sensible on their own can lead to an absurd outcome. In the case of comb-overs, the victim may begin moving the part of his hair by a small amount to add fullness to a region of thinning hair. Only as the process of baldness accelerates does this become a futile attempt to hide a glaring patch of skin under the last few stragglers of hair.

So if this is to be believed then my Grandad is suffering from a complex he started years ago and he probably still believes it’s working. This comes down to a generation of men with thick hair who used it as a fashion statement years ago, yet still holding on as tightly as they can to what hair they have left. My Grandad is obviously still that young Teddy Boy at heart.

Baldy locks and the three hairs

Well my Grandad seems happy even if he’s convincing no-one, even when the wind picks up and turn his 3 hairs into antennas. Bless the old git.

I’ll leave you with this from The Baldy Man
