Well done mate, you rock the sly look! Welcome to the family  O0

I am glad that our brothers were able to help you come to the right decision, especially when just over a month ago some of them were in the exact same position you were!

Now just stick to the 30 day rule and your scalp will get used to the regular shaving,  and so will your family and friends. Trust me when they see how happy you are with the new you, they will grow to love the new look too!

Good luck with your other life goals, feel free to post join in the conversations, and to tell us all about your reactions and feeling about your new look.

Seems you posted before I could get my post done :P

Your mum will come to like it, trust me it does not make you look ugly at all, her response seems to be a natural reaction to something that is strange or a little different. Also being sly does not hamper your chance of getting a job, if you read Paul's post recently you will see that he pasted his pre-selection interview for a job he has applied for. Getting a job is all about confidence, and if you walk in their sly and happy, then you are almost certain to win any job you want!  O0

Oh and about shaving every day, you don't have too, I only shave every other day, and I still think it is fine. You just have to deal with the velcro for a bit until you shave again.

Hey there Wave Flow

Welcome to the Brotherhood.  You are looking good with it all off.

Welcome!  Looks great.  You should be able to get a job now with your new look.  I know I would hire you if I could!

Wow, nice transformation.

Bald looks very good on you.  Remember the 30 day rule.

Sounds like you are headed for bald for life. :-)

The razor burns will take care of themselves with practice.

The tan will come.

Head shape looks good to me.



It's far from perfect. My back is alien like. I dunno though if this is tolerable in the public's eyes.

Waveflow, not to worry.

It's a new hairstyle and that always takes a little time to adjust to.  And while you are adjusting, don't overlook the freedom you've given yourself now that you no longer have to worry about thinning hair, combovers, styling, and all that.

Sly - whether shaved to the scalp or a buzz cut - really is carefree and never looks careless.

Looks great dude . I have to totally disagree with the comment on which your mother made though about finding a job. Some of the most powerful men in the world are bald :-)

After quitting my last Job I have not yet updated my resume. Maybe, my thinning dome restricted me from acting on my life. I hated my last job, now I doubt if internal auditing is for me.

Wow! Yes please, hire me. Anything accounting will do. :D Now a SLY boss will be awesome.

My Dad just got home. He went to my room with a smile in his face.. he asked if I was OK; What where you thinking? Why did you did that?

I just smiled and said, It will grow back; don't you worry. My dad is cool with it. Maybe I can convince him to go sly too. He's working with a comb over ever since I was a kid.

I took a bath for a fresh feeling before I hit the sack. and Oh it still burns. Never thought water can be this bad :D

I wish my head would be rugged soon. It's so sensitive.

Cheers to that FrontierGuy. Let's be drunk with happy hormones!

Youve made some MASSIVE progress since your first post! Im sure that the head will de-sensitize soon, use some non scented moisturiser.

Since I ditched the system and went buzzed Ive noticed that there are thousands of guys who are going Sly or buzzing. Especially younger guys.

Your parents will come round eventually.

Thats just me I guess. I really love the "Massive" change. I always imagine a metal soundtrack whenever I glance at my bald head on the mirror.
