What didn't you expect when you went sly?

Yes being bald and SBG are very positive, especially helping other men embrace the sly look.

I didn't realize how much I would like it at first, I instantly loved it. I think all men should be bald and be members of SBG, could you imagine over a million members on SBG, one word..............AWESOME!!!

Another thing that surprised me was the addictiveness to a completely smooth dome. When I have hair, I normally don't shave my face more than 2-3 times a week and it never bothers me. But when I'm sly, I need to shave my head every single day - sometimes twice if I'm going out at night and want to rock a shiny dome. I'm sure that anyone looking at me wouldn't notice if I skipped a day, but to me there's a huge difference between a completely smooth freshly shaved head and the sandpaper feeling that starts just hours later. Maybe it's because when I'm sly it's BBC and I'm shaving a full head of pretty thick hair.

I didn't expect to feel the air conditioning on my head when moving from the heat
I didn't expect the change in attitude i get from both strangers and friends and i seem to get a new found respect
I didn't expect the great feeling of rubbing moisturiser into my head after shaving it
I didn't expect to find myself hating the look of stubble if a leave it a few days
I didn't expect people to ask if they could feel it!
I didn't expect jokes like 'who luvs ya baby'..or 'wow here comes Gru'..OK maybe i did expect that! ;)
I didn't expect the velcro feel when pulling on a t shirt or hat
I didn't expect complete strangers to say 'I like your shaved head'
I didn't expect that some close friends would actually not say anything at all.

I knew before I did it it was no looking back and it would be forever. I just LOVE being bald. I did NOT expect my scalp would be so oily, what can I do to reduce an oily scalp? I shave every other day and have ALWAYS had some acne since shaving on the back and sides of my head. I love shave days and really don't like the "off day" with the sandpaper feel. I might try shaving daily for a week. I am Norwegian from both side of my family and was blond. My skin is sensitive and that's why I always assumed I would get bad razor burn shaving daily.
The other thing I didn't expect was how cool it feels swimming.
Lastly ( I didn't mean to type so much) I use to wear hats almost ALL THE TIME. Since shaving I prefer to ditch the hats most of the time. I also ride a Harley (trike) and found out almost from day one I have to wear either a skull cap or dew rag under my helmet or its uncomfortable.
Thanks for sticking around through my "brief" reply.
