[jp_bald]

[Stu]

Iwent and got the number 1 buzz cut, I like it alot, my head shape looks good, I have decided I'm going to do the number 1 for a few weeks, then go to a 0, then it all comes off, wow even with a number 1 I feel great and look much better and way fresher.



Only negative was from my mother who said "you look like a serial killer..." but she was just kidding around and later said it was much better and that I should go sly.

Anyways, I will post more pics as I go.

Good for you; I remember how much i liked the feeling of the buzz cut... cool and a relief because there is nothing to hide (not possibe anyway).  Your headshape looks good, and the goatee looks great.  Any bets, my fellow sly bruthas, on how long it takes for Kristian to finish the job?  I found the shorter I buzzed, the more frequent the haircuts came until I had to see my head completely smooth.  Looking forward to your future pics, Kristian.

Kristian, good for you man!  We're pretty much the same age (I'm 29) and you won't believe how much younger you'll look & feel!  My slyness is to the point now that most people really can't guess my age at all and that's a cool feeling.  I pretty much did what you're doing - gradually buzzing down... but I guarantee you that you'll feel even more liberated once you do go sly bro!  Keep us posted!

kristian......hey, brah.   u  already look younger & more confident with the #1 buzz.  my question 2 u is..."why wait for a few weeks 2 shave it with a razor?"    just think.... u   r  already looking sly with the buzz just think how u will feel & look when u "do the deed".  i  say go 4 it NOW.... why postpone the smooth dome?  u will definitely rock the look?  anyways.... post up some pics when u do the deed.  i'm glad that u had the courage.  man...just wait until u scrape that dome smoooth.  i already know that u will  b  a daily shaver because IT can b very addictive?  WAY 2 GO!!

Hi Kiristian

Wow man, 100% difference.

I dont really see what you were holding onto in the first place.

Put on some good music that really gets you pumped up and shave it off, you will feel such a relief.

You already look younger

[BALDANDRE]

Bro .....WAY better!

Now imagine what shaving it smooth will do for you!

[Razor X]

You're standing right on the precipice of slyness.  All you need to do is go a little bit shorter - 000 maybe, and the urge to just shave it clean will be so powerful and all-consuming that you just won't know any peace until you've done it.  Go for it.  Worst that happens is you don't like it (highly unlikely) and you spend a week growing back to #1 length.

I'm coming to this thread late but welcome bro'

now go and do as your mother says and scrape it clean

Kristian,
I am also late on this thread and apologize, but welcome to SBG. You joined way before I did and haven't tried Sly yet. Let me just say that the buzz is probably easier to manage, but you still have to manage it.
From your pic it looks like you have a greater confidence in your eyes and you look 100 percent better!
Your young, your hair will grow back, and you've come this far. I suggest you try Sly and really experience the feeling, give it a little time to set in - 30 days. I am sure you will be surprised how the last small step makes you really feel and look. Its something countries go to war over, people have fought for it for centuries, and you can have it within 10 minutes..... its called FREEDOM!

Yep ... between bouts of SLY-ness this summer, I grew my hair out to a #1 and kept it for ... a couple of days. I gave it up when I realized that nobody noticed the difference between SLY and #1.

Hi Kristian,

Looks good - bet you don't last the "few weeks" at number 1 buzz though .... your domes just crying out to go sly!  Go for it - you won't regret it

[kristian]

Hey, thanks guys, I got nothing but 100 percent good coments from everone at work today, they all loved it, 3 females said I looked way younger and much better and one male co-worker asked if he could "please, touch my head" what a freak, also a young lady was checking me out while I was pumping petrol into my car tonight.
Anyway at this rate the only reason I want the number 1 for a few weeks is to get a little sun on the scalp, no doubt by this time next month I will do the sly and it will look great.

I drove to work with the window down today and it felt great, I didnt wear a hat or beanie all day for the first time in 10 years and it felt great, I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and looked younger, a few compliments from people makes you feel and behave with alot more confidence.

Thanks so much guys, its great to have a place to come to and get such great and positive support, if I have any friends thinking of going sly in the future I will most definetly send them this way without a doubt.

Pics will come.

Great to hear of all the positive feedback kristian.  Think it's good now, just wait till you're sly

[SLYinKC]

I'm also late jumping in here.  Looks real good, Kristian.  I'm sure that you'll like it even more the shorter you go.  Don't be afraid to go all the way.  Even if by some small chance you don't like it, you're within a week of being back to where you are now.

You really won't be able to get much color on the dome until the hair is completely gone, so don't let that hold you back.  If you're anything like me, you'll never be able to hold out for an entire month.

The first time I shaved my head it was totally unplanned.  It was a Friday night before a long weekend, and I bought a pair of clippers to give myself a closer buzz than the barber had given me.  They were cheap clippers and I could not get it as short as I thought I could with the #1 attachment.  So I took the attachment off and tried the bare blade.  After one swipe, I realized that this was WAY shorter than I'd thought it would be.  I had no choice to continue.  I was at maybe a 000 so I looked pretty bald.  My hair had never been that short before. 

I briefly thought about shaving it clean since it was so short already, but then thought, nah, I wasn't ready.  I tidied up all the hair clippings and decided to put it out of my mind.  That lasted about 10 minutes.  The next thing I knew, I'd been in and and out of the shower and was lathered up and ready to take the Mach III to the stubble.  To finally ditch my hair entirely was one of the most liberating things I've ever done.  Go for it; you won't regret it.
