I have a full head and had the same worries and hesitated years to go fully sly. My concern was what other people would think, but the problem was inside me!
My first full headshave was 10 yrs ago. Before that I was already cropping very short and cropped shorter each time, until I asked the barber to try  a #0. Then I shaved what was left at home. I must admit I was initially shocked seeing my bald head at the mirror, but got accostumed quicky and LOVED it! Not too many negative reactions from other people... in fact many people, especially women, said the bald look was great on me!   
I regretted not having done it before.

My advise to you is trying short crops to get accostumed.

Anyway, the difference between a #0 and a sly head is only a week. So if you don't like it simply let it grow back. But I bet you'll get addicted like most of us!

So I did it guys. I worked up enough courage to go to the barber and just have him shave it bald. Sitting down in his chair I was really nervous but I just kept to the plan. When I heard his clippers turn on I could feel my heart in my throat and then like that, a bald strip was shaved right down the center of my head. About 20mins later I was looking, quite shocked, in the mirror at my bald head. I quickly got over it and have learned to love this look, at least for the summer. Thanks for the support guys this has been an experience.

Well done Loganthegreat

It looks super!  Now just shave the rest of the stubble off and you will look GREAT!

Terrific. In the cosmic scheme of things, this is rather insignificant. But personally it's HUGE! You should be feeling quite proud of having made and kept the commitment to getting your head shaved. Enjoy the experience.

Congrats! Even if you don't razor the stubble, it still looks good!
