Hey Out,where you at in Sydney? I'm in Manly.
Regarding your impending Slyness , I can understand the hesitation to want to do the deed entirely but to be frank you are really delaying the inevitable which is eventually putting headblade to skin.
It will be a great feeling for you and your new look will empower you,
Hope to see a new avatar of your shiny dome in the next few days mate.

Hey Jesse,
I'm in Roselands near Bankstown. There are alot of Sly guys arround here.
I have to make a slight correction to the quotes before. One of the managers also said, "That's one mean haircut for one mean guy" HEHE. I think she liked it, she's also much older than I am.
I was chatting to a friend last night, and he put the MPB thing quite well. He said "If it worries you, then deal with it, and get over it" I shall follow his and everyone elses advise and shave it. (Just in my own time)

I used to work out your way quite a bit in the Lakemba,Liverpool,Cabramatta,Fairfield area delivering spas and gazebos. Our main distrubution was in Brookvale but I worked primarily in Western Suburbs.Yeah I used to see a lot of sly guys out that way, way more than in the North Shore.
I think you will find when you do take the final step of being fully Sly in your own time, I noticed this anways, Is that people will tend to take you a bit more seriously. A shaved head in the past( and at times unfairly) has been associated with toughness (Just look at Capt Pate!haha) and generally being a badass so you'll find people will approach you differently and people you already know will see you in a different light. Maybe I imagined this but it is what it seems like to me.
And the ladies love a sly dome eh!!
Good luck with your journey and post a pic when the deed is done.
BTW are you a Bulldogs supporter? I go for the Sea Eagles as you probably already guessed! We are sittin on 2nd place in the ladder but Doggies arent far behind.

Believe it or not Jesse, I'm a Sharks supporter. I grew up in the Sutherland Shire, hense the team choice.
How did people such as family and friends take the decision to be BBC?

Right on,go the Sharks. Manly beat them for the first time in Cronulla this year since 1986.
To be honest, when I decided to become BBC it had nothing to do with MPB so I cant say what the effects of that would be. I became BBC initially as my way of saying get stuffed to all the craze of emo combovers and other cringeworthy metrosexual male hairstyles that are permeating our city(the faux hawk is another abomination). But what I didnt expect is how great it made me feel and what an addicting feel it would become and totally change how I looked and felt.
My wife intially hated it, then after about 2 weeks she said to me " I like you better with hair but I really dont mind it" and almost 1 year later she still occasionaly gives me cheek about it but she has come to love it. My family and friends were intially weirded out but now they all say how much it suits me and they cant imagine me with hair. You see I have Lebanese ancestry so my hair is as thick as all hell ,so it was quite a big shock to everyone.
I'd say go for it and given some time, all your friends and family and coworkers wont know you any other way.

As an incentive i went and got a Headblade from priceline the other day. They also sell the blades but sadly they dont sell headslick or the other products. I heard ages ago about King Of Shaves. I use that on my neck to shave the beard neat and tidy. Its quite good, doesn't foam too much, has menthol which is soothing.
I thought I wouldn't loose my hair when i was young. Years of paying out my brother saying "I'm not going bald, you are!". Now he has a perfect head of hair, as for mine its slowly taking on the distinct M shape and in my opinion looks untidy on me.
Will keep you informed.
Keep it SLY!

Hey Out, it usually takes me about 3 to 4 days to go from 0 to 1 if I remember correctly.
I think it's pretty normal for guys to have little or no reaction when they shave their head.
