New and almost bald
« on: May 07, 2010, 05:31:05 PM »
First off let me start off by saying hey, my name is George, I am 18 and a senior in high school.  I have been rocking the #1 buzzcut all over for a few months now and pretty much love it.  It feels awesome to rub coming right out of the salon lol.  But I havent gone any shorter =/.  I want to try a #0 all over or maybe go all the way, sly.  However I am starting college next fall and I am somewhat worried what other students might react if I show up with a shaved head.  Any advice for me?  Also I want some help with the ladies, and I am not sure if they would like the buzzcut more or a shaved head.

Thanks guys

There won't be any reaction.  Shaved heads are common nowadays in all walks of life; people who have never met you before won't even give it a second thought.  As far as what the ladies prefer, that varies from individual to individual.

You're already at a #1 buzzcut so the rest should be easy.  It only takes a week to grow back to that length after you shave it, so you have nothing to lose by trying.   

Good luck.

Welcome George!
If you want to try it, you should go sly right now. And if you're going to like it (remember the 30 days), you'll be well prepared for your college start. 8) 
BTW after you go sly, you'll notice all the other sly guys around you. They're everywhere!

Welcome to the site George.  If you're going to shave the noggin', now is the time.  Summer is coming and if you don't care for it, after the 30 day rule, you will still have plenty of time to get back to the #1 buzz.  Good luck with the decision.

Yo dude. Welcome to the site. I agree with Razor X. Won't be as big a deal as you think. Give it a shot over summer and if it's not what you like, go back to the buzz by fall. Either way welcome, enjoy the site!

Welcome to the group!   I was on the University of Oregon campus a few weeks back and noticed a lot of sly guys on campus.   Like everyone has said -- its mainstream now.    Give it a try and stick to it for 30 days.

Thanks guys for the support.  I am going to go down to Florida after graduation for a few weeks, so I think it is a great time to shave it then.

Welcome. If your going to shave and head to Florida, make sure to bring sunscreen for your dome!

Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.
