Excellent spider, I don't think you will regret it at all.

Yeah, go for it man.  You'll love it.  And you can always rock a skull cap like others said.  I've been shaving with the grain for a few weeks to avoid irritation and it works real good for me.  By shaving with the grain it does leave some stubble but it helps keep the skull caps on and you can't even tell the difference in going with the grain unless you feel it.

Hi everyone,
                   I have decided to shave to a #0 after my basketball game tomorrow night. That's right, I'm taking the next step!

I will post a pic once I have done it. I really am enjoying the shaved look and not having to worry about hair maintenance at all :-)

Stay tuned folks and keep the comments coming in :-)

Spider, Glad to hear of your positive reactions.  It really is much easier to care for and you can't beat the feeling. Can't wait to see your pics.  If you're like me, it won't be long until you pick up the razor and finish the job.  The difference between a zero and the shave is so small and the shave is so much of a cleaner look.

Best of luck. O0

BINGO. Can't believe a Chiefs fan has something intelligent to say  :*)) (j/k).

Spider, it is more maintenance to be truly slick than just buzzing it at #0, but the pros definitely outweigh the additional maintenance requirements.
Cheers!

Spider, Way to go.  You're almost there.  I'm anxious to see your pics.

BTW. I'd be very careful about who you listen to about how to get the "clean" look.  Have you seen some of those Raider fans???

I am now officially a sly!!!!
[/b][/size]

I had first buzzed it down with no guard and after a a close look and a little thinking, I thought, what the hell!!!!
There wasn't much hair left anyway after buzzing it right down so I thought I might as well go all the way.

Out came the Gillette razor and shaving cream and went to work.

I hope you like my pictures. I'm now really enjoying the sly look and the feel of it :-)

See how easy that was to do, Spider.  Glad you went for it, and I'm sure you are.  Pats on the back all around for us... another Sly convert.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Way to go Michael!  Glad you like it!
