Going sly, again.
« on: December 08, 2011, 02:31:23 AM »
So guy and gals, this weekend will be the time I go sly again. I gave up wet shaving my head earlier this year in Feb. After digging up some old pictures of me before my original stint being properly sly, I've decided I need to bring it back. Lately I've been buzzing my head without the guard doing that once a week.

What ultimately made me decide was seeing how far my MPB has come along. As my balding is diffuse thinning into the horseshoe shape. It was only slightly obvious years ago but lately I've noticed it getting worse.

So for me to give MPB the proverbial middle finger salute I'm going sly. Good news is that my family and friends have stopped asking me why I shave my head, so this time it should be a lot easier.

Once I'm at a PC I'll post some updated pics, including some before and afters.  :D

Thanks for reading.

Pete

You'll look good after you shave it, but wait broke the bridge.

Wow, you must be my twin brother. We have the exact same thinning pattern, the one where there's still hair everywhere, just not enough to cover it up decently.

I like you with both the buzzed look and the shaved look, but I have the same 'problem' with my buzz look: darker 5 o' clock shade on top and a red beard (so I keep everything evenly trimmed).

But at least your beard is quite full, mine is still missing some parts (which I'm sure will kick in later). You really suit the sly + red beard look!!!

Alright guys, today is the day, just woke up its a crappy raining day here is Oz and a perfect time to go and bring the sly back.

Later on i've gotta go look for some new prescription glasses so I think sporting my new look would be appropriate.

Will post an update :)

Outsider, you are making the right choice.  Kiss that thinning MPB look good-bye.  :Xo!

Hey Pete, I think the slick head and red beard looks good. From the pics, your hair is definitely done but sly is better anyway and is a good look for you.

Well guys its done, I'm sly once again.

Here are a couple of pics, one straight afterwards and the other while out looking for new prescription specs (i realise the specs are crooked on my face lol). Love the feel of the smooth head even if it is a little tender today thats to be expected after a long period of not shaving the dome. Started using the Schick Hydro 5 to see how that goes compared to the mach3

Looking great, and I have to take back what I said earlier about the black glasses. They suit you perfectly.
