First time head shave
« on: July 09, 2012, 12:16:42 AM »
I've been on the fence for a few days and finally bought a pair of clippers from the local clearance store yesterday.  I lost my nerve though and slept on it overnight.  After one more look at my thinning crown and after selling number of sly guys walk by I decided that today would be the day.  So, tonight I plugged in the clippers and ran it down the middle of my head without any attachments.  After a couple of passes things looked pretty good and it was time to go after the stubble with a razor.  I jumped in the shower to get rid of the loose hairs and then lathered up my head with soap and shaved it all off with my fusion.  Not quite as clear as I'd like it, but it feels pretty good.  I'm a little apprehensive about the reaction tomorrow - but what the hell, we only live once.   :)

Congratulations Mav!  Welcome to the world of the Sly!  Let us know how things go, but don't worry too much about the reactions of others because they'll soon forget you look any different, and at the end of the day it's you who has to face yourself every day in the mirror.

Keep your head up, chest out, and walk proudly into the rooms you enter.  You'll be fine!

Hello there Mav, and welcome...

Thank you for the photographs.  Well presented, and an excellent exhibit of when it becomes decision time.  I always enjoy photos with threads, where relevant.  These are very relevant!  You made a brilliant move in my opinion.  I like the way that you only "Sat on the fence" for a short while, perhaps as those were my sentiments when the deed was done.

Well done, and do share the journey here...

BTW, it suits you!

Looks great. I'm sure Day #1 went well also. You'll be exhibiting a new look, and a new sense of confidence. It's a keeper!

Hi Mav:  Welcome 2 the sly fraternity.  Glad that ya joined us.  Your new look suits ya.  Keep us posted on all the reactions and remember 2 honor the "30 day rule".  The 30 day rule is an unwritten rule on the SBG Forum in which the new head shaver must keep their dome smooth and slick for 30 consecutive days.  After said rule... the new head shaver will decide 2 keep it smooth or grow it out.  Again... welcome 2 the club and enjoy.
