Welcome to SBG Champ!!! I agree with your approach, go down to the 1 first, see how you and the family like it. After you do go SLY, give yourself at least 30 days to adjust.

Oh, and one more question, I don't think I want to gleam, live in the south and the sun could be a blinding experience, is the matte stuff good to cut some of the shine off?? Plus can it blend with sunscreen...will need to apply daily here.  Thanks again guys...

I use HeadLube Matte and HeadShade (SPF 15) to finish. It gives a good solid protection and significantly cuts down on the glare factor.

Best of luck.

Update!! After my workout this morning my son advised me that he needed a ride to school, so as I was putting on my hat to cover my sprigs that were pasted to my head from sweat, I said to myself "self, if I was Sly I could just head out the door". So as soon as I returned to take a quick shower to head to work--BAM--clipper number 2 attacked my head!! So tomorrow its clipper number 1 and Friday its go time. After work I made my way to CVS and picked up the HeadSlick and Headblade, which were the only 2 in the store and redtagged as New Item (Down South we are just a few months/years behind... Mama always said..) but no HeadLube, so I will check Walmart for some type of finish. I figure the weekend I can get some sun working in the yard and by Sunday I should have a shadow of a goat>.. BAAAAAAA! Thanks guys for all your advice and encouragement. I'm psyched!  PS.... I also submitted my encouragement song I trim with, from 1975, Rush- I think I'm going Bald! Hope it can make the Jukebox cut!!

Good to go bro.  Go for it.  I don't know if you have a Wal-Greens, Eckerd, or Rite-Aid near you but if you do check those also.  They usually carry the HB products.  Good luck.

Welcome Champ.  You are doing just what I did.  Shorter and shorter until you put that razor in your hand.  Don't worry about the rest (glasses, goat, stash), they will all look good and SLY.

Update again! I made it to phase 3. I gotta tell ya that I rode with my windows down after the buzz and boy are the dates I go on going to get pissed!!! What AC? Tomorrow is shave day, no stopping now!!
I gotta share a part of my experience for you all to enjoy. At my job I work mainly with women (I'm IT) and I have been wearing a hat through my transition, but only at work and this is highly irregular. So I have been questioned many times why the hat, and also been asked to lift my hat. My response has been no and its a personal reason I am wearing a hat. Today I had 3 women try to corner me to remove my hat, which I really didn't care but it has been killin all the women to see whats under it so it has turned into a game for me  Close to the end of the day one of the women approached me in the middle of the room and said let me see whats under your hat it can't be that bad, the whole floor was quiet and tops of heads appeared at the top of the cubicle walls, so I put on a real serious face and said "I told everyone here it was personal and all ya'll can do is try to pull my hat off and even try to wrestle me down, it ridiculas! How would you feel if you had big breasts and I pulled your shirt off to look at them?"  The response, "thats not the same" and of course I just stared with a serious look and said "for a man and his hair, isn't it?"  Hat still not removed at work! After my shave tomorrow I will be purchasing my SLY t-shirt and gettin some sun this weekend. I will update my pic with my slyness the begining of next week when the goat is more visible!  Once again thanks for all the advice and welcomed feeling, don't think I would be as confident without the great input and answers.
