I'm sure the shape will be fine - we are always our own worst critic.  Post a pic when you can.

You can do it!  I just completed my 30 days a week or so ago.  Love it!  And my head is far from perfectly round LOL  O0

Certified Sly and feeling great ! used some aloe vera lotion after I had finished. I will say though I thought all hair would be gone but I still have the 'toilet bowl' left on the back, is this the shadow that Iv been reading about?

Camera is recharging so I will get pics up soon

Since we both went sly around the same time, I'd love to hear how it's going.

The shadow will become less pronounced once you get some sun to tan the scalp a bit.  Also once you improve your technique you'll start getting closer shaves and that will help reduce the shadow as well.

Yep. That shadow is much more noticeable when you first go Sly.

As your newly shaved areas darken to the tone of the rest of your face, the head's shadow will be like your beard's.

You probably are much more aware of the shadow than anyone else.
