HA!   You all crack me up  ;D

I finally told him that my mom made a comment (without knowing we had been discussing it) and he thinks I'm pulling his leg...it was pretty funny!

I finally got him to agree to *consider* it, but he won't even think about doing it until the can take time off work, to get adjusted to it.  You watch, the man won't take a vacation all year now!

The last time we talked about it, I bet him that if the Angels won the series, he had to do it....of course, that year they lost, so not only was he bent his team lost, I lost too!  Major suckage...

Hi ChrisInVegas. Just read through your post and the great feedback everyone has given. I can't add much more but I am a newly Sly guy. One of the main things that stick in my mind is the "pictures" comment. I would not let my picture be taken unless I was wearing a hat due to my "lack of hair" for the last 10 years. I did not realize it at the time, but I have missed alot of moments being captured with my 14 year old son that I wish I had for him now. I wouldn't buy the thempark pictures of the log rides or rollercoasters we rode due to the gleam through my hair. Now I like to have my picture taken because I feel more confident in my look. Just thought I'd share, would hate for someone else to look back and realize they missed out on something due to appearance. My whole experience to shaving can be found here http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=1492.0
Good Luck, and welcome to SBG's.

Hey Chris, sounds like you're getting him to take baby steps and at least consider it.

I have an uncle that is 6'8" and very intimidating that lives in Vegas.  Should I send him over?  >:D

Just throwing in my two cents...

Suggestion 1: Get him to trim it to a #1. The poshy stylists that write articles in GQ and Esquire are always recommending that men with thinning/receding hair get it cut really short, since the hairs are supposed to rest against one another or something. But that's just covering it up in a back-handed way. The real purpose of the #1 cut is that it's the first step towards making it slick. It worked out decently for Rudy Guiliani (link: http://www.capcan.org/images/giuliani.jpg

Suggestion 2: Show him pictures not only of people who have gone sly (Howie Mandel, Bruce Willis, etc), but also pictures of people who are still fighting "the good fight" - Donald Trump, Tony Kornheiser (works for Monday Night Football), and other guys that are woefully rocking the combover. In the end, that's what got me. I knew I could fear people laughing at me for the rest of my life, or just endure people at work razzing me for a week or so when they adjusted to the sly look. In the end, I made the right choice.
