Todd, welcome to SBG!  Like the others have said, there are many reasons to shave it.  Today is Be Bald and Free Day and what a great day to show the world you are bald and free.  Go for it!  Don't waste any time!

Todd, welcome to the forum.  Please listen to the guys.  They are all 100% correct-lose the rug!  Did you look at your own pictures?  The Sly guy must be 10 years younger and better looking to boot.  That guy with the rug reminds me of Baluchi's (According to Jim) brother-in-law.  You and I know, we only need one of those! lol

Dude, shave your head, that money could be spent much better elsewhere. Or even invested.

Run, don't walk to get your razor. I wore a piece for almost 30 years. I just pasted my 1 year anniversary of being sly Oct. 12th. I regret not doing it sooner. The time and money spent I will never get back. But shaving was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. This web site had a lot to do with me going through with it. So trust these guys and do it. You will be happy you did.

What all the bro's say is very true Todd. Really, freedom awaits you once you toss that dead hair hat aside. You will see.

That money can be well spent on many other things, number one being your family.

Keep us posted on your progress.    O0

This post reminds me of the Snickers commercial awhile back where the bald office worker was wearing a toupee made of snickers bars and everyone was laughing at him behind his back because they knew it wasn't real hair.

T-minus 1 week and counting.   I don't know why but I set "Black Friday" as the "just do it" day.   Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and stories.   Hearing all of the positive results of going SLY definitely pushed me over the edge.    I have the head slick, Fusion, Mach, and soon a head blade ready to go.  I also sprouted a goatee.

My new mantra -- "shut up and evolve!"  Pictures next week.

If you were in my shoes -- knowing that my the trade off is having hair = my family having less  vs sucking it up and just shaving my head -- what would you do?   

This is kind of a loaded question considering the venue in which it was asked. We are THE
SLY BALD GUYS
And we F^@&ing Rule!

That being said, with hair you look like just another guy who is not particularly happy. Without hair you look like Vic Mackey (AKA Michael Chikliss) of "The Shield", one kickass no nonsense dude.

$700 a month to cover up that dome? :o

If your wife told you that she spends $700 a month on makeup what would be your reaction?

You, mi hermano, have fallen prey to the insecurity/self-loathing industry in America and they make zillions a year creating what some people think is the ideal physical specimen to a) envy and b) hate themselves because they aren't it. I got some news.....nobody is IT!

I say scrape it clean, F^@& the self-hate! You can always go back to the rug.

Way to go! Now that you've made your decision.... FREEDOM is at your door step!

Post  up some photos...... I would recommend NOT using the HeadBlade for that first shave or two. It can take a little getting used to.... as will the act of shaving your head. Plus... a cut with the HB can be nasty and may make you NOT to want to shave again.

Go slow my friend....

Good luck and congrats!!!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement.  I think I'm going to go to an old fashioned barbershop on Friday and have them take it down to zero.   I'm so ready to get the dead animal off my head.   Everyone's right -- it looks like a dead animal on my head -- what was I thinking.   

I do have a question -- I still have a tanline from summer (yes you can get a tan in Oregon -- especially when you go to Hawaii in August).   Do self tanners work as well on scalp as they do your face?

Thanks again to everyone on the forum -- you helped me man-up -- ready to take care of business.

I wouldn't even worry about the tan line. Your dome will tan up fast enough. After all, this is about getting natural. And stay out of the tanning beds. There are some horror stories in this forum about skin cancer and the tanning beds don't just speed up the tan.
