Non-sly moments
Razor X:
OK, it's confession time. I have to admit, that although most of the time I am perfectly happy with my bald head, I do occasionally have moments that I miss having hair. It usually happens after seeing someone in a movie or on TV with a full, thick mop of hair.
I've also experienced that "Seinfeld moment", when after about two years of regular shaving, I ran my hand over my head one evening, and felt the stubble along the sides and back of my head -- but I was still smooth on top. That was the moment I realized that I was bald -- not just shaved, but really BALD. Forever. I was long past the point where it should have mattered, but it still bothered me a bit - briefly.
Has this happened to anyone else here?

I've only been shaving about three weeks, so I haven't yet reached the point where I imagined having hair again. When I see someone's flashy hairdo on TV, it reminds me of how happy I am being different. Shaving feels more "me" than any hairstyle ever did.
It sounds weird, but I hope I don't lose my hair because I like having something to shave off in the morning. I'm hooked on the shaving process. Though I do like the thought of not having end-of-day stubble on top.
Sgt. Pate:
The first time I went sly was a year ago last November, my wife didn't like it so I caved in and grew my hair back. I really missed the freedom and felt like I wasn't being true to myself. Finally last month I told my bride I was really sorry but I had given it a year and it just wasn't me. I dug out my HeadBlade and have been very happy ever since.
There's nothing like Sly for this guy! O:O Hair is for squares! :*))

Can't say that it did with me... I knew I was bald before I started shaving it!
Since I've been sly for somewhere around 3 years now, I'm actually very judgemental looking at "hairy" people... and wondering what they're thinking with what they're doing with their hair!
Cy:
In the past 6 years, I've let my hair grow out (over an inch) about twice a year just to see if it's still there.... probably could just go by how clogged my razor gets.
As far as confidence, I have a lot more of it without hair.... you know? Nothing there to look sloppy. No funny smell from product. Also, the headrub is the new handshake :)
Yeah, I went there.
SHINE ON!!!
