You mean you didn't use clippers that can be plugged in? pfft, schoolboy error. I don't even bother with clippers. I use a razor on my head for that extra close, smooth look I can shave my entire head with a razor in 4 minutes. I should be given a prize or something :P

I like my sideburns and if I shaved my head that closely they'd have to go. I'll cry the day that happens!!

You need to lose the sideburns dude. That is so 70s. Get with the 21st Century. It's all about smooth

One of the blokes in my club wears a bandana for that very reason.

I usually just wear sweatbands on my wrist and use them to wipe wipe the sweat off of my face before it goes into my eyes.

Unfortunately this is not an option if you wear glasses as you dislodge the glasses. Ideally we need a spray which stops sweating.

<thinks... does botox do that>

hi,

Thanks for the replies. I too have been out today looking for a wrist sweatband to wipe the sweat away before it touches the eyes. I couldn't believe it was so difficult too find one went too a number of sports shops and still went home empty handed.

Anyone know of a website where i could pick up a few cheap ones. Gotta try something whilst running effectively blind can be fun but does have its draw backs! Damn Cowpats!

I haven't tried this myself, but I've heard of people using vaseline on their eyebrows, which I imagine diverts the sweat away from the eyes and down the side of the face? Maybe worth a try? I don't know.

Have you tried naffsportsgear.com?? If not somewhere that sells tennis stuff might help.

You could wear fake eyebrows. I'm sure you could get some from a Groucho Marx fancy dress shop :P That would work.

I'd second the vaseline idea personally (just don't forget it's there.. probably not very nice if you smear it all over your face in a moment of forgetfulness!
