no guard buzz my head?

[rss114]

as many of you have read i will be shaving my head for halloween this year. I really existed to take the plunge and i don't know if i want to wait anymore but i still want the first full smooth shave to be done for halloween so I'm thinking about buzzing it all off in september get my head use to have very little hair and get my scalp a bit of colour what do you guys think?

[Cave Dweller]

My thoughts? Simple. If you want to do it, then don't expend the energy worrying about it. Grab the clippers and start.

You will be giving your scalp time to tan up a little before you shave.

Like Cave said, just grab those clippers and do it. The first swipe is always the hardest to take.

No reason to wait, just get it done.

There are a number of guys here on SBG who planned to shave their head; set a date; then jumped the gun and did not wait until that date. They just did it. Couldn't wait.  Then they said, Why did I wait so long.

I was one of them.  That was over 2.5 years ago. Been shaving my head ever since.

Just got another good compliment from a buddy tonight the style/look.

Go head and shave it down now. You'll be ready for Halloween.

i would love to just shave it all off smooth but i really want the first time friends see me totally smooth is halloween night so i will settle for a good it buzzed off Would you guys say go for a #1 guard or no guard?

[Sir Harry]

I would go with no guard to give myself and others time to adjust to the bald look..you can always reshave it if you have to or grow it out before doing the deed for Halloween

I have buzzed head head in the past not a no guard i loved the feeling of that so I'm existed to go no guard

[mrzed]

Visually, the difference between 'no-guard buzzed' and SLY is nil.  Hard to see the difference. The difference is in the feel, the latter being much nicer.

  We would go guard if I were You. You will love being sly.

Once the thought of buzzing/shaving my head was in my head, it consumed way too much of my time. Then I went to a community festival nd switch about 20 shaved heads, and at 4 am the next morning, I was buzzing my full head of hair. I buzzed it to 1/4" and didn't like that look at all. So I  clipped it all off with a 00000 blade, jumped in the shower and shaved it. Boy, my girlfriend was shocked, but 30 minutes later she loved it. I'm 14 months shaved bald and love it.
