Over the last few years I typically go for a faux hawk haircut. I alternate between that and a buzzcut. Just to see how it would look, three years ago, I took out the razor and went sly. I only kept it for a week. During that week I had several people ask me why I shaved my head. Lots of negative feedback. They were especially curious because I have/had a full head of hair. Last year I grew out my faux hawk and went with slicked back look with a side part. My barber took that photo. Two months ago I got so annoyed with all the time it took to maintain that hairstyle, I reverted back to a faux hawk. Then one week later, I got annoyed with how obvious of my hairless around my temples, that I pulled out my clippers, and now I am sporting a #1 buzzcut. Last week I got a lot of shocked comments when I went from the faux hawk to a #1 buzzcut. A coworker, who is sly himself, suggested to me that I should just pull out the razor and join the club. Idk if I am ready to take the plunge. I am worried about the prospective negative feedback about the sly look.
Thanks for the encouragement. Since I first posted, I have kept a #1 or a #0.5 buzz cut. Maintaining it every 3 or 4 days. This afternoon, I thought to myself, it time to go all in, I turned my car around and drove to a nearby barbershop. When I came home form the barber I went over everything with a 6 blade razor. Now that I am sly I have to say, that I am scared to look at myself in the mirror. So, that makes me nervous with what others will say. As of now, I already feel like growing it back out to a #1 buzz. But, I keep thinking about the 30 day challenge and maybe I need to stick it out, even though I currently do not like it.Photo of #0.5, two photos of being sly.
