Soon to be Sly Guy in California
« on: April 12, 2007, 10:57:19 PM »
Hi all,
Have been a "lurker" for a while. I have been wearing a "hair system" for about 13 years and realized how much energy (and $$) it takes to maintain this deception. Although thinking about shaving  for a while, following the messages here have helped me come to my final decision.....tomorrow is the day. The "system" is loose enough to come off and vacation starts Saturday. Will have an opportunity to get some sun and a tan....also 2 weeks to get used to the new look.
Have an appointment with a local barber for the clipper cut , and have a Mach 3 and some Headblade products (Headlube, Headshed, Headslick and Headshade).
I'm sure I'll be asking for advice in the next few weeks. Will try to get some before and after pictures posted.
Looking forward to being an active member of the group.

Welcome Mike.  I've been a SBG for 1 whole week.  If you are like me, you'll wonder what took sooooo loooong to do the right thing.  Lets us know how it goes.

Good quote Max! Welcome mikesj (which I assume means San Jose....go Sharks). Nice to have another NorCal SBG. It is a liberating feeling and I know you'll appreciate the look. Welcome to the SLY side.

 O0 O0 O0 Ahoy, Mike. You won't regret ditching the system. Shaved bald is more honest. And this is the era to do it. Glad you've joined the brotherhood and the forum. Send some pics. Professor Melon
