I love it, but... nobody else does : (

Listen to this guy, he's not only got it right, but he's the ONLY ONE that counts--the 27/7 guy.  If he's happy, everyone else will learn.

My immediate reaction (well, after I'd showered all the loose hair off of me!) was that it looked great.  I felt liberated with the new look, and very confident.  It was as if I was meant to be bald.

The sly look definitely suits you. Going from a full head of hair to shaved in one go is a huge change, and people are bound to add their two cents' worth. Ignore the negative comments and listen to the positive ones. You rock the look, dude. Keep it.

[zetaeffe]

Looks great in my opinion! 

[Ozz2012]

I'm not one who will throw out a compliment just to make someone feel better...

Having said that...I really can't figure out any negative reaction, as you really are able to pull the look off quite well, at least in the picture you made public.

The only thing I can think is that people aren't used to it, yet.  Give it the 30 day trial that everyone here recommends.  As people become accustomed to the "New You", eventually they'll think you look "weird" if you let it grow back in!

Relax, you look fine and you'll love how convenient a shaved head is....no bad hair days, no "wind worries", no "rain worries", no "hat hair"....etc, etc...the advantages are seemingly unending! (Just remember the sunscreen)

Best of luck!

Welcome.  I agree with IllinoisBaldy ... they'll come around.  I think the look suits you well.

[Beardman]

What everyone else has said 

I don't understand where the negative feedback is coming from, I am glad you are willing to give it the 30 days, I hope you are still happy with it at the end of the 30

[Frontier Guy]

Mike, it's been 10 days now. How's it going?

[JasonR]

I think you look great with a shaved head. Were you balding? Edit: Saw you had gray hair before.

People will come around...no worries. It's a big change for them.  

[Oto]

You look great with a bald head! Don't worry what other people will think. Do what makes you feel better!

[Paul the Headblader]

keep it. a change at that age really helps.

[balddaniel]

I also think you look great.  Would love to see a sly pic.  Listen to the guys people will come around.  Here is a smile from me, even though I am a guy 

[StumpyDave]

I don't recall being flooded with compliments before I shaved my head.  Why should people I don't know start gushing over the way I look shaved?

Anyway, most of us do the sly look because of how it makes us feel not how other people feel about it.  People you know will get used to the look and appreciate how much happier you are that way and your confidence will grow.  People you don't know will just assume you're a cool guy with a shaved head.

Good point Dave...

[Slynito]

Mike, you have received a lot of good advice. BBC looks good on you so shine it up and go on. And check out some of those horseshoes and ugly comb-overs...that sure ain't for this ol' boy!

 

[balddaniel]

Mike we haven't seen you how is going?  Post a pic of you sly so we can see how it looks.
