Well...... I'm Sly!

[outsider82]

I decided not to shave this morning to let my scalp calm down as the last two times i've shaved it feels quite raw afterwards.

I'm going to do some reading in the sections on shaving and care etc to get a better idea of what i should be doing.

So far i haven't gotten any bad responses from people, My brother told me yesterday that he was unsure if he liked it at first but by the end of the night lastnight he said he loved it.

He suggested I trimmed down the beard because it looks strange having a face of hair and a head without hair. I'm going to try some shave oil as many have suggested. It might work better than the gel i've been using so far.

Out,what I find works well is a layer of shave oil beneath the shaving gel. Or even baby oil works good. I know Lance uses this combination as well.

I agree Out,the Technique area of this forum has some great routines that have worked for other Sly bros.

Stoked again that you did the deed,looks awesome on you.

Nice Tattoo, (if that's a tattoo) when did you get that done?

Looks great, you should check out X's new tattoo that he just got on his left arm/shoulder. Its in his Blog on myspace.

I'm gonna change my beard to a goatee i recon. Just think it might suit the sly look better.

Out are you going to get a round goatee or clean the beard up? I am in the process of growing out my goat.

[outsider82]

Going to go the round goatee, it will suit better i believe. It will be sad to trim it as i've had it for 12 months.

Sorry I am a bit late chiming in here but just had to say :

LOOKS AWESOME outsider82! Welcome to the sly side!

Don't worry about the reactions from work. I'm sure they'll all be positive

Thanks Shy.

I was just chatting to my flatmate and he and i agree that i should try the round goatee for a time. I think it will suit me.

My work mates last saw me (on thursday) with a number 1 buzzed head, it will be a bit of a change for them to see another sly bald guy walk into the office. Yes we have one other My boss knows i was thinking about it so he may not be that shocked.

Go for it Out

I think your beard looks fine in the pic but why not give it a try anyways - I think half the fun of going sly is deciding on what facial hair looks best with it ... you can then decide to stick with one look or just keep changing between them if that suits you better.
I quite often grow a little goatee chin beard myself but it tends not to last as I like it best after only a few days growth, & when it gets too thick I get fed up with it & usually end up shaving it off again ... then a few weeks down the line I'll let it grow for a bit again

I did once try a 'tache too for a while (a circus master type that I used to twirl at the ends) but that's probably best forgotten about! 

Anyway, you're rockin' the look or ... as we say in England ... "looks dammed good on you old chap!"  I think your workmates will be impressed!

Hey guys,

I shaved the beard to a circle beard/goatee. With the sly head I actually dont recognise myself in the mirror. It doesn't feel like me.

My flat mate says i look quite polished now. hehe i dont know if he was refering to my head. It feels funny to have no hair on my cheeks now. I'll get used to it in time.

Out, when you shave against the grain(front to back), you will get a much smoother shave than shaving with the grain.

Don't you mean back to front when shaving against the grain?

This is quite true!  I'm always changing up how I wear my beard, if any at all.  I think I've settled on a style I like.
