Congrats Ben.  It looks great!!

Don't worry about the office.  I was all freaked out about that myself, after going sly.  But, it was completely uneventful.

Congratulations.  Now there are two "Bald Bens"
Don't worry about the office. It will be a non-issue.

Uh-oh. The Bald Bens are soon going to outnumber the Bald Robs!

Ben,

You made the right decision!  You have a great head shape for being sly!  It will truly be a non issue!  Welcome to the fold!

Welcome to the SLY side.

Looks great, and younger--but that always seems to be true.  Another great example to the fencers out there.

hey my bald fellows, thanks ya all for your kind comments!

it's still kinda strange to see myself in that way, though it feels goods as i wrote.
i shaved it again after i opened this new topic, cause i did it with the grain the first
time. there were a lot of hard stups and i wanted to have more smooth. ok, it caused some
razor brand then, but not to bad.

and it got it absolutly smooth. feeling no hair. what a feeling !!!
but i do really look bald now, no shadow, cause of my dark blonde hair. it's like a omg feeling as
i woked up in the morning, but no work today for me, so there is still a thing a have to go through.

the first 24 hours are not over after second shave and it feels like there are some stups back again.

that's all about my first impression ;-)
hope this strange feeling to see my head in the mirror will be over soon.

You'll get used to it, but you seem to forget that you spent a lot of time looking at the "balding" going on.  That's over and while "going bald" is the shits, being bald isn't bad at all it's really good, it's clean, and as your picture shows it looks great on you .  You'll find out when you get a LOT of compliments.  My "morning line" is that the compliments will outnumber any others by not less than 10 to 1, except from family.  Family is a really complex reaction, lots of us still have spouses and significant others that are less than supportive to put it mildly.

Hey Ben, It will take a little while getting used to. I shaved may 5th and i am just getting comfortable with the look.
I will say with the people at work it was a non issue. I work in public safety so its not unusual to have a shaved head as alot of the guys do. Only a few family members have seen it so far, but i didnt have any bad comments only the usual why would you shave it when your not bald kind of thing. I am into boating and ride motorcycles every day so i will say that it has been great in that regard.....i was at the sand bar where everyone goes to party all day sunday and it was great taking my hat off and not having to make sure my hair looked okay. I would say just give it a little time and you will love it for sure.  DDDeepdiver
