Thread: This is bad, very bad.

I figured I was getting a little too rotund and so decided to drop some weight. So after losing about 25lbs and don't get me wrong I feel like a million bucks now and look better but now I have a very serious issue.

My face has changed. Areas that were out are now in and others especially on my neck are really different and lately I'm getting something I haven't experienced in many years, razor burn. So now I basically have to figure out how to shave with a straight all over again. I have to change all my angles and strokes and even stretching. This ain't fun.

Maybe I should put a post on the rookies forum and ask for help-Har har.

LOL, that was funny

But you are right. Loosing that kind of weight will surely affect the tautness and contours on your face.

I'm ashamed to say that, due to some recent surgery and subsequent immobility, I have gone the other way. I've gained 10 or 12 pounds, and I notice that on my face as well.

Maybe you can get some face implants. :-)

That is exactly why I'm very careful about my weight.

If it becomes difficult to shave I go to McDonalds immediately.

Just be glad you don't look like this!!!
My little buddy got stung by something and swoled up! (He's OK now...)

Dang yellow jackets are tasty! Too bad they have a hot end...

I feel his pain... chili dogs tear me up... but it doesn't stop me from eating them!

Congrats on the weight loss thebigspendur, but if your shaves don't get better try a yellow jacket.

I look forward to responding to your posts in the beginners forum and offering any help and advice needed. BTW Welcome to SRP!

In addition to a job well done on the weight loss (I've been trying to drop some for s bit, too but the only thing that gets lighter is my wallet), I would just like to take this opportunity to, in a Nelson Muntz voice, say "Haw haw!" in regards to the razor burn.

I feel your pain!!!!!!!!! I've dropped right at 40 pounds since November and I can tell a difference in my shaves, too. Though I haven't started with the good stuff (i.e. still using my Fusion), I noticed a difference in how everything was oriented and now have to stretch places I never had to before, etc.

Congrats on dropping the weight!!!

I am here for you in a mentoring capacity if you should ever feel the need. Skinny is not so bad once you get used to it
