It is interesting to not realize how much hair has gone. I started shaving when the front was getting higher and higher. But the first moment of truth came when I grew my hair back and a co-worker noticed that balding crown. But when I felt up there it felt pretty hairy. About 2 years ago while recovering from surgery, I grew my hair back and really saw how much has left. Now when I shave and feel stubble, I feel very little on the crown. I am glad I went Sly and didn't stress all this time!
