Very attractive, I think. ---

Atta boy! I loves me my bald head. My grandmother always gives me grief though. “Why do you do that, you’ve got such beautiful haaaaaaaair!!??” Pft. BTW, what type of razor do you use? ---

> [@Dante](#): > > BTW, what type of razor do you use? I’ve been getting good results with the BX-brand triple razor. I shaved my head a few times back in tech school with a genuine Mach 3, but I noticed that one shave of the face and scalp rendered the blade too dull to be usable. Before I shave it, I wash it with one of those shampoo-conditioner combos (can’t remember the brand, offhand). Then I rinse it off, put just a _dab_ more on and lather it up a bit, and proceed to shave. Afterwards, I douse my scalp with a palmful of alcohol. It’s the same principle of aftershave, only it’s much cheaper and I don’t smell like a pimp. It’s starting to burn less and less, but that alcohol after the first shave… the only word I can use to describe the feeling is _napalm_. Oh, yeah, and I do all my shaving in the shower, without a mirror. ---

I think you look better in the nonsmiling photos, **Tentacle** – smiling, with the shades, you’re definitely serial killer stylin’. Good to see you again! But you mean to tell me that the Air Force in its wisdom is sufficiently hypocritical enough that practically the first thing they do to you when they get their hands on you is shave your head, and then prohibit you from doing the same thing later? Why, were they afraid baldies would look like raw recruits, rank insignia and all? Not to mention the lack of ill-fitting uniforms and white running shoes with your fatigues? Man, gotta love the military. How does someone watch five games simultaneously? ---

Thanks, and the same to you. Although, I don’t think I dislike “serial killer stylin’”. 2. Well, they only shave your head with clippers in Basic. The reasoning behind the no-shaved-head rule was that it looked “extreme and faddish” (actual language used in the reg). Of course, these are the same kind of people who gave us Article 125 in the UCMJ; and then have the gall to teach us in Basic that the UCMJ is founded on the Constitution. Which amendment prohibits buttsex? 3. Well, he’s a betting man. Heavily so, which explains why he has so many comps and connections in Las Vegas. The idea is more to keep an eye on the scores, or which horse is in the lead, or what have you. Also, if something spectacular happens, they’ll run it on the instant replay. ---

I agree with all the “bald hottie” people. You’ve definitely got a _Smallville_ Lex Luthor thing going… I used to shave my head, but it eventually became more trouble than I was willing to take just to keep it maintained. Now I cut it VERY close every month or so. ---
