I've been lurking here since July and finally decided to join and post to the forum.
I've gone back and forth using clippers w/ no guard vs. sly for about 11 years now (did it the week before 9/11) and after reading about the 30 day rule here I decided to take the plunge again and go totally sly. I'm always surprised at how pale my skin is (even using clippers) once I do shave my head with a razor but now I've learned my lesson to be patient.
Even living here in Miami I need to give my head some time to get some sun, but not too much.
As for going bald, ever since I noticed I was losing my hair i didn't fight it as it turned out to be a blessing as I think I'd look like a 12 year-old with a full head of hair.

I think this website (especially the forums) kick a$$ and I'm looking forward to posting to the forums!
