Considering no longer!!
« on: December 29, 2011, 02:28:11 AM »
Hey guys
After many months of consideration and an intensive week of thought and reading on the site, I randomly took the plunge back into slyness and am loving it.
I’m currently on holidays and after much debate figured now would be the best time to dive right in, rather than waiting any longer despite my earlier posts. It was all rather spontaneous as I was called in for a last minute job interview (pain in the arse too given the time of year) and thought I’d duck into a nearby barber for a quick trim beforehand as I haven’t been arsed to  buzz my hair for a good week or two due to holiday laziness.
Whilst waiting for an available barber it occurred to me that now was the time to dive right in and before I knew it I was in the chair asking for a straight razor headshave! The feeling was sensational and I’m loving the look and feel. All the nerves and hesitation seemed to go away along with the hair. I’ve now purchased my very first headblade and am keen to give it a whirl.
 I can’t stop looking in the mirror and can’t believe I’ve done it.
The photo below was taken straight after it was done so now I just need to perfect my shaving technique and get a tan. No family or friends have seen it yet so we’ll see how that goes down but I’m keen to show off my baldy and have it shining, plus I felt an extra bit of confidence in the interview. The chair of the interview himself was sly and remarked on my 'good looking' dome so I’m already feeling apart of the brotherhood. Fingers crossed the next few weeks go well so we’ll see how it goes! I’m considering this a trial period so thanks for the words of encouragement!!

Well done, looks good!
Tanning will occur within a few days, would advise you take the natural way, just stay outside a bit and you will be fine

First: congrats on the new look. Second: I hope you get the job. Third:you've probably gone through one of the biggest challenges - an interview as a newly sly guy. I'm sure your confidence came through!

Your sly dome looks great.

Doesn't it feel good to be pampered and  have a barber do it? I do that every once in awhile.
