 Slowly but surely I am getting there.  Here are two pictures, what do you guys think?  Do you think it suits me?  I personally think that it turned out pretty well.  Once I figure out what to do about the angioma that I discussed in the other thread, I may just have to get out the razor.  I definitely have the itch to shave. 

But going slower has been good for my wife and kids.  Kind of gives them time to get used to it  ;).  At least my wife is on board with me going shorter and shorter, thats a plus.

Looks good. You look like "just another guy" who has taken on the quite popular Sly style. The longer you maintain Sly the more you'll appreciate it.

Good job. Looks very good.  Certainly shows that a sly head will suit you well.

If you have the 'itch', it won't go away. As has been posted by many here, the prime difference between your current buzz and a shaved head is the FEEL, not the look.

The look is almost the same. But the feel (smooth and slick) is incredible. 

When you are ready, shave your head. 30 day rule.  The itch to shave will become a compulsion to continue shaving for the rest of your life.  Looks good, feels good, and certainly is stylish these days. Here's the new Vin Diesel!

You look very natural.  Let everyone adjust and then go the last step.  You won't regret it.

I definitely have the itch to shave. 
Sounds like you're enjoying it--a BIG reason to do this.  And when that day comes that you scratch that itch--OH BOY, are you going to love it.   O0

Kevin you're definitely on the right track.
If you're careful enough you might end up without any scratches or cuts from your first shave, just take your time and don't use too much pressure.
You'll look great sly.

Go all the way, you won't regret it. I'm a little over a week in and I'm so glad. You will be, too.

I can't say anything different to the others mate, I say scratch that itch mate. At worst you nick that Angioma and it bleeds for a while, then you know not to do it again (nick it that is) lol. When you finally take the plunge I bet you look a natural!

This.

Looks great, Kevin. Don't be nervous or anxious about going the rest of the way. Just do it, brother. Like Zed said, the difference in look isn't that big, so even if you hate having a smooth dome (for whatever crazy reason  ;) ), it'll grow back in no time.

GO FOR IT!!  (**!
