Threading the needle...the fear of a newbie!

    Hey everybody! OK, I'm a newbie, and it's confession time, I've been a lurker in the past. So here's my threading the needle analogy. I have been passionate about shaving for many, many moons. I first started shaving my head before head shaving was somewhat acceptable (I got a lot of odd looks, rude comments from older folks, etc). That naturally led me down the path of seeking different and various products. That search led me to creating my own shaving cream and HERE's where I tread delicately. I want to participate in this forum, but I don't want it to look like simply a shill for my company! So I look forward to participating as a bald guy who shaves his head, face and legs and I'll post on the vendor forum when appropriate. I just didn't want to be called out as one of those guys who creates an acct and says, "Hi new people, look at this swell new product I found that nobody else has ever talked about!" But (cue the patriotic music) now I come out of the shadows, a man who loves to shave, looks forward to it, who may have in fact started a small company with products that help him with his hobby, but now he's here, here to stay!" I am the Bald One and I approve this message! :) I look forward to stopping by often!

    I'm not a moderator, so I'll leave the fiddly legal bits to Those In Charge.
    As to the product you have brought to market, please share more info! I'm still in my first year of wet shaving. Everything is new to me. I have tried several creams and find they perform on a level close to tallow based soaps. After being around for a little while I see shavers that are affected by certain ingredients. Unscented, PABA free, gluten free, low calorie, all natural... Those don't concern me as such. I'd like to know about your New and/or Improved! What flavors do you offer? How does your product compare to brands I have experienced?

    HAHA! I love it! Because I'm THAT manly :) No, seriously I'm one of those "ultra runners." I do races of 50 miles, 100 miles, I run a fund raiser in my community, this will be the 6th year in a row, where I run for 24 hours around a track to raise money for our middle school (California budget cuts have taken a lot of stuff away). Sooooo, many of us ultra endurance types believe shaving the legs helps with heat dissipation when you've been running for a few hours, especially in the summer. Might not be true, might only help a little, but after trying it, it's hard to go back to bushy! And my wife hates it now when there's stubble under the covers...hers or mine :)

    I see nothing wrong with it. As a dude that works out everyday I trim mine with a norelco men's groomer. I feel I keep cleaner and smell less with less hair while sweating at the gym. :happy088:

    Welcome from a fellow head shaver. I no longer shave my legs for cycling...or for any other reason.

    Having the need to buy shaving supplies like some have a need for cigarettes... (well maybe not that extreme)... knowing a new member also has a shaving related product to sell just makes me curious. Welcome.
