Welcome to the family mate, you rock the sly look big time man! It's a massive improvement.
As everyone else has said, it's a big change and will take people time to adjust, that's what the 30 day rule is for! It's not just for you, but those around you

Anyway, don't let them get you down, because you look so much better now. You remind me of the sl brother playing bass in my mates' metal band last night \m/
