Hi Jim & welcome aboard!
Excellent stuff - inspirational! I read the link you provided :
http://hairclubsucks.com - & all I can say is I am so pleased I never considered it! It really does make me pretty angry to think of these guys exploiting young balding men's vulnerabilities in such a cavalier way!
You definitely made the right choice!
I think the HCfM route can offer guys nothing but insecurity & misery!
Hi Jim welcome to slybaldguys
Looks good man. Welcome to the forum.
Welcome BigJimW and great story. Glad you found us.
Welcome Jim, thanks for sharing your story
Man, this is such a warm welcome to the board. Thank you all. It's kinda like family.

I'll definately be posting more when I get the time.
I just got off the phone with my oldest son who is in Maine right now. My GF was talking to him and asked him when he gets back home if he could do a friend of hers hair (as he did a cut before and it really looked good). I took the phone from her and asked him "Hey, when you get back, can you do MY hair too?"
"Sure dad"
The GF and I could not keep the laughter in.

He knew something was up.
I finally told him it's gone. (as he hasn't seen my new sly look yet). He told me that he always thought I would look better bald (sly). He was right.
And Darrell, I found a few photos of the Suzuki Burgman 650cc Scooter. Man, calling that thing a scooter would be like calling a NASCAR stock car a bicycle. Just make sure you're not wearing that kilt when you're going 110 mph with it.
Looks great Jim! Welcome to the world of the SLY!
Welcome to the family Jim and congrats on your slyness - you're rockin' it well. Great story about HCM - glad I just went sly instead
Welcome Jim. I fell for the "system" trick for 23 years. Trust me my friend, you made the right decision. Welcome aboard.
Great story Jim, and welcome to SBG.
HA! The HeadBlade came in today. Can't wait for some fuzz to grow so I can give it a try.

And I understand Sy Sperling is no longer the president of Hairclub for Men. Did they at least let him keep his rug?
Welcome to a nice group of folks. I still have the urge to get a bike.....maybe it is normal.....
