Shave or not (pictures)

Stew and the others have a good idea to try the clipper route if you want to take it slow. That's what i'm doing...it's a good option if you're undecided.

 Have to warn you though, I've gone from a #4 on the sides and back to a #2, now clippershaved in the course of a few weeks hanging out in this forum.

Take it down a little & see what you think.  Go for a razor if you decide you like it SLY.

If it bothers you and you want to try it but you have alot of hair left.  I wish I was in you r shape.  Anyway you are at the point where it will look good with a buzz or with what you have.  So you can try it and grow it back if you want.  Lucky you.

Addictive,  Isn't it??

Sure is. In fact, I decided to change my username from "wannatrysly."
What was I thinking "wannatry"? That implies a lot of sitting on the fence. So I'm gonna go for it at a steady pace shorter and shorter.

Got it clipped with the #0000 blade (didn't even know there was a blade like that) by my barber yesterday. Up to the crown. Pretty much a shaved skin high and tight. Have about 10 days beard going and might try to carve out a goatee. Need to look at a few styles first.

Welcome gunpwdr.  Yeah, go for it bro.  You won't have a problem rocking the sly look. 

[Rhymez]

up to you man, up to you. All though, I think the sly look would fit you fine.

Gunpwdr, welcome!  Go for it, I think you'll like it.  I second Lance - you won't have a prob rockin the SLY look.  Keep us posted!

welcome....g.  since it is summertime, i would go 4 the sly-look.  u have plenty of hair 4 now but if u r already talking about going sly or thinking about going sly..... then the best time is the present time.  i was in a similar situation like u 3 years ago but i finally went sly on april 24,2007.  and i wished that i had done it 3 years ago... when i was thinking about it.  i know that u will rock the sly look.  man.... just do it.  your 1st reaction will b ..."i shoulda done this in the beginning". 

anyways.... just my 2cents..... when it comes down 2 it.  it will b your decision.  keep us posted on your decision.
again... welcome.... gunpwder..... this is the best site ever.

Ditto on what the others have said...go the route of the clipper stages thing...it'll get you and those around you used to the shape of your head with less and less hair....

dude , you'll dig have a slick and shiny head...nothing like it bro!

[Sgt. Pate]

Go SLY bro!  You can always grow it back!

I say Rock the Sly Gun, I had the same male pattern baldness issue in my 20's, and it only got thinner as time went on. even though short cuts sort of hide it, in the long run, Sly is the way to go...

Once you try sly, hair again you will never try!
