30 days on Friday
« on: September 01, 2009, 12:13:11 PM »
I can't believe I've made it this far.   On Friday it'll have been a month since I had hair.  I know that's not much for those of you who have been shaving for years but the first month is the toughest. 

I have a full head of hair with no MPB at all.  I'm not sure it's the best look for me but I just love the feeling.   There's nothing like shaving against the grain and feeling that smooth skin when you're done.  Every gust of air that passes over your head feels amazing.

Thanks for the sly guys forum.  It's great to know there are others out there.

Congrats Stan.  I'm a newbie as well.  In less than two weeks, I'll hit the 60 day mark.  The first 30 is the most difficult.   After that, it just feels natural.

Stan, ain't it the truth.  I too am BBC and just love the feeling of air over the noggin.  Can't wait for cool weather to come around.  Talk about a rush.  In two weeks I will have been Sly for one year.  The worries of trying to control an unruly head of hair is behind us now.  Congratulations and continue the spirit.

Huge milestone, Stan.  You're right; the first month is the hardest.  I can remember thinking I would never be able to last the 30 days.  From this point on, it will be second nature to you.  I must warn you, though, the obsession with having a smooth dome worsens as time goes by.

Congratulations and welcome.

Congrats from here too.   Time for a photo...

Like Papa Don, I'm only a couple of weeks away from the one year mark.  It truly is second nature now and how I view who I am.   I think it would feel strange to feel hair on my head again.

Tomorrow will be one month for me.  Funny you should mention cool weather as it has been in the upper 50's the last couple of nights and I've slept with the windows open...woke up in the middle of the night last night with a VERY cool head.  Strange how even short hair can insulate the bean.

Congrats on the upcoming 30 day mark!  Definately a huge milestone.  I've been sly for several months now and couldn't imagine going back to having hair up there.  Be sure to post up a picture.

Welcome!  The first 30 days is the toughest but really, didn't it go by quicker than you thought it would?   8)

Thanks, guys, for the welcome and encouragement.  Friday has come and gone and I guess I'm now in my second month as a bald guy.  I can't stop noticing how many others are shaving bald by choice.  I still think it's the best look out there.  Thanks again.

Lights camera, action....time for a photo bro!

I'm on the verge of shaving twice a day just to keep the dam stubble away.

You will get there too.
