What didn't you expect when you went sly?

Another thing i didnt expect was how much i would enjoy the process of shaving. I also shave down below, and while i considef that process a bit of a chore, made worth it only by how nice it feels doing certain things inappropriate for this forum,  i actually enjoy and look forward to shaving mybhead each morning, and sometimes also at night just before bed. 

Which brings upma thought/question. Has anyone else noticed that their pillow feels alot different under a freshly shaven head than it does even when your last shave was relatively recent?

What I didn't expect was how much of a non-issue it would be. 

It took my wife about 20 minutes to get used to it.  My mom's only reaction was, "That's cute."  (cute???)  My dad, a military man during the '50's, didn't say anything.   

Around the office, I used to get a lot of "bald jokes" and comments about my thinning hair, but after I went sly, all that stopped.  A few of my clients commented that it suited me, but most said nothing. 

It was a relief, but it made me regret that I waited so long to take off that last quarter inch of hair.

The routine and the fact you have to look after your skin more .

I find that catching a glimpse of myself in a reflective surface always makes me do a double take, and think to myself "oh, right I'm bald now" 
Also I was playing with the dog, and she started to lick my bald head. It was the strangest feeling.

I didn't expect to like the bald look, which nearly two months later I have completely embraced.  Also, I didn't expect the overwhelming support I've received from others about ditching the 'system' and going sly.  Reflecting back now I'm still surprised at how ridiculously important I thought it was to have hair.  It's not important to me at all now.  I like that.
