I guess for me it was about a year and a half from when I thought "I'd really like to try shaving it"  to actually doing it .    Hey; that's not so bad for a fence-sitter like me, is it?

Year and a half, huh, John???  It was actually longer than that for me, except it only took about a week after I showed up on SBG's.  It just seemed longer with you since you posted here for a long time before taking the plunge.  But glad we both finally made it!!! O0

I can remember back when I was on the fence and I'd see a sly guy on TV or out in public somewhere and I'd just wonder (borderline obsess over) what it would be like to just ditch all of my hair.  For the longest time, I didn't think I'd ever be able to do it.  Now I look back and wonder what the big deal was.

Same here, Razor.  It all seems so silly now...the things we worried about back then... :/O

yeah; I was in here for a relatively long time before taking the plunge.   In retrospect; the 'fence' period in here was agonizing;  but what a pleasure it was when I finally went sly !

I can honestly say that I did not sit on the fence.  I decided one day that I wanted to shave my head, and a few hours later the deed had been done.  :)

I've been some 20 yrs in the fence. Thinked abut shaving since the mid-80s and had some short crops sometimes, but first full smooth shave was early 2002. Now, a regular headshaver. Should have started a loooong time ago.

I wore my hair since 1992 short cut with clippers, mm for mm less, till #1 this year. Since March 07 I sat on the fence (clipper without guard), shaved once in May and did the deed really in August (7th). Now I'm nearly three month regular headshaver.

I was on the fence for a couple of years.  After I found this site, I went sly in about 20 days.  A wonderful decision.

Yes, Steve, Isn't it amazing how just the influence of the guys here on this site helped to make it soo much easier.  That's why I think being part of this forum is so great.  Hopefully, we can make other guys tranition to SLY just a little bit easier.

I wasn't on the fence that long maybe 3 days at the most. If it wasn't for this site i may still be on the fence.

Not really a fence sitter here.  After I had my hair cut short I buzzed it for a few years.  My wife was fussing about the "little hairs" all over the sink.  So one night after shaving my face in the shower I covered my head in shaving cream and went to it.  "I'll show her"  I thought.  At first she said "What did you do?" I told her I baked cookies - what did it look like.  It was really funny.

still on the fence...  have been thinking about it and have even buzzed it very short on two occasions since Jan of 2006 or so.   My hangups are dating, sunburn and work. 

it is a tight look though so i am considering how to introduce myself at work as all of sudden a sly guy you know?
