This morning I went sly!!!
Nivea Gel, Hydro 5 and some Nivea post shave balm, I love it!
Doesn't look much different from my clipper no guard shave, but it feels different...
It's a little patchy in places, but hey, first time shaving and no cuts
And practice will make perfect 
I want to say a huge thank you to all those who offered me hints tips and advice on here

Cropduster,
You look better sly. Keep up the good work. And good on you for having a nick free first head shave.
Totally agree with you, visually it's not a great leap from clipper no guard to shave. But it's that first time you feel your smooth head.
As you get even better, you'll find the head gets smoother.
Considering using the HeadBlade. It's great experience rolling a razor over your head. -

Definitely, I think I was probably a little cautious as it was my first head shave, and I did go with the grain, but it's my first go and I love it. I can now practice my technique and continue my sly journey

Welcome to our world.
Don't worry about rubbing your smooth head after you shave. From what I can tell, most other sly guys do it all the time.
It'll be even smoother when you go against the grain. Just be careful - long passes from back to front. Keep re-lathering. -

I feels great I love the smooth feeling.
Wise to go easy on the first few days. As you get the hang of it, you can go against the grain and then it is even smoother!.
I waited about a week or 10 days before adding the head blade to my routine.

Great change, echoing Jules' sentiments, I'd you think its smooth now, just you wait till you go against the grain!
