21 and receeding, trying to decide whether to become a SBG
« on: April 30, 2007, 03:50:52 AM »
Hey all,
This is my first post to the forum, im a UK member from accross the Atlantic, and at present wondering whether or not i would look better going the bold way. Have gone through the posts on here since i first found it about 2 days ago, have just found it a great place to look on as it has so much amusing yet honest information/posts on it.  Just finding it hard to decide as at university, being quite young, and have already had comments made about my receeding line by my friends. It is hereditary so have sort of expected it, but have only just come to a realisation i should do something about it.

So i have posted my pic, and am wondering whether or not it would be better to go bold now whilst have at least some hair on top, rather than end up having no hair on the top and having to make a decision, already looking a bit silly with the side bits.

not entirely sure how to put other pics up on here, as do have another of the top for better confirmation lol.


Cheers to any replies.


Jimmy.

Welcome Jimmy.  Glad you found us.  From the pic you posted I wouldn't see any reason for not going sly all the way.  Your hair is already receding back pretty far so it wouldn't be a drastic change for you and I'm sure it will make you feel like new man.  Go for it bro and if you don't like it you can always let it grow back in.  I think the sly look would fit you well.  Take care.   O0

Welcome, Glad you found us.  From the looks of your pic, I think you would look good SLY.  In fact, you'll probably find that you like it better than your current look. O:O

based on your profile pic, I have only 3 words to say:

Shave it off.

Dude, you have a large forehead (like i did)..you'll see how that disappears...eventhough you still have hair, it's not what you want...

shave it, you'll see how cool it is to have it all gone...and you'll feel so much more in control of your life..you'll see!

Good luck buddy and let us know how the shave goes!

We'll be waitin' for you on the sly side!

Cheers for all the info guys, I think i will end up taking it all of. Cheers BaldAndre aswell, i thought i had a big forehead, hopefully as you have stated it will suddenly not stand out like a sore thumb.

Just wondering, should i give it a go with the hair clippers on #0 to see, then use my mach 3, or???


Slightly clueless as only used to shaving my face not my nugget.

Perfect...just let me correct it like this....eliminate "to see"...

it goes, clip down with a 0 blade, then follow by a mach 3 treatment!

Seriously YOUR freedom is 15 minutes away! Go for it brother!

Good luck, our soon to be sly brother!

I agree with BALDANDRE,  I clipped down as short as possible, then I used a head blade.  Shave the head every other day.  Go for it!!

Welcome Jimmy!  You're so close already that it shouldn't be much of a shock to anyone.  Get busy with those clippers, or just go to a local barber and him/her take it down to a zero.  Then it's just you and the blade... with plenty of advice here on what to use and how to do it.  Good luck, and post soon.

As someone of the same age and somewhat similar circumstances, I say absolutely that shaving it will be the best thing you ever did for you hair.  Almost 100% certainty that you will like being sly better than just a short buzz, especially if your hair is already receded pretty far.

Shave it off.  It'll be soft and numb that first time (don't we all miss that), and you'll get a kick out of feeling every air current in the room until your scalp acclimates.  You'll feel liberated.
