hey guys, I am getting ever more close to being totallly sly ... I reallly am ... now have a .50 buzz on sides and #1 on the crown... VERY close, and at initial glance looks shaved. (I'd post a pic, but I promised not to post one again till I'm totally sly) One thing i'm beginning to wonder; how hard is it to keep a smooth look; especially for the sides and back? I'm quite thin on top/crown, but the sides/back are VERY thick. How hard is it to keep it really clean? How irritating to the skin is it? I'm thinking that "my" look might be to go for a clipper shave, rather than using a razor and lather every day. (but I'd love to try razor shaving at least for a while.) Not sure how smooth or rough a clipper shave might be. Any and all opinions/ insights etc. are welcomeJohn
OK ALL HERE'S THE DEAL... IF JOHN DOES NOT SHAVE HIS HEAD WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS....I AM POSTING A PIC OF ME IN A THONG! ...and thats no joke!
Actually what you are doing is saying you are embarassed to be a SLY BRO! Not embarrassed. A lot of my personal psychological issues have to do with a kind of TERROR of being the center of attention, esp. when issues of masculinity are concerned. I've read posts in here from guys who have mulled over headshaving for one or two years. So give me a little more time. ... Like I'm saying ... till the end of the month. It is going to give me great pleasure to show all you sly brothers pics taken after my first shave. You've all given me a lot of support ( and 'tough love' --"ouch" to Andre and Timm ...) and I would n't have gotten THIS far without you guys. And since I've been taking so long, going sly may end up being as much as a 'non- event' with you guys as everyone says it is with the world at large.

But remember i say it with a smile..... and always know, it's ultimately said because I KNOW it will be a great thing for you in the end!
John, my experience is that keeping it buzzed is harder than shaving. Buzzed at .50 is like 2 days growth. Go for it!!!Max
