Some con's that i've noticed so far: - it'll take awhile for yourself to get used to the new look... but then, after 2 weeks you'll probably find yourself being highly addicted to the sly look!happy to post some pics later tnite if anyone is interested.
Welcome. An excellent introduction and post.Was thinking about writing something myself about my first two months of going. No need now, because you've said everything I was going to say. There must quite a few people I've met now (new colleagues / friends of friends) who have only ever seen me bald. That makes me happier still.
I say do it anyway! some of your posts were among the ones that made the decision a lot easier for me, so would love to hear some progress

And you carry your new sly look well. Keep up the good work. It looks great.OK, at first, your new appearance can look odd. What is odder and more interesting is (what feels like) several square miles of newly acquired smoothness across the top of your head. It's a fantastic feeling you never ever get bored of. Never. In the first few days when you are out about, there's the buzz of walking about carrying a new bald head and a strange thrilling feeling which goes with it.Shaved my head every day for over two months and longer unexpected benefits are really starting to shine (no pun) through. Every single day, you have the same great sly look. Every day you look exactly the same. No bad hair days. And in my case, not another day of seeing yet more grey hair. And no more angling mirrors under bathroom lights seeing just a little bit less hair on the top of your head. Now I am bald, those days are all over.And as the months go by, more and more people have never ever seen me with any hair. They only ever seen me as sly. Been at my new job for nearly six weeks. So that's several dozen people who have only ever seen this look. Which may explain why no one says anything at all. One person in the office has a beard, another has a clean shaven head. So what ? For friends and family, the new looks is no longer new. It's not even a look. It's just you being sly being you.Yep, I've noticed more of friendly smile from people I encounter, than when I had hair before. Sometimes I, too have, thought it might be they think I'm ill. What's more likely is if you are bald, you are recognised. People remember those who are bald. Mentally, they will note you as the bald bloke.I've looked back at pictures from recent summer holidays over the last few years. Each year, the hair line is thinner and the grey is more visible. The number times of I looked back at pictures and thought "I had more hair. I has less grey. The years are catching up". Now I am bald, I don't have to worry about any more hair loss or any more grey hair.Go sly: you get the same great look every single day. You do get recognised more easily. (And for me), I won't be loosing any more hair and I won't be getting any more grey. For the time being, I've stopped the clock. I'll be sly in 2012. I'll by sly in 2013...Going sly has probably been my best personal makeover.
