Pre-sly photos by Razor X on 25 Oct, 2007 19:20

I came across some photos from my pre-sly days, taken in 2000 and 2001. This was around the time that I was in the "should I or shouldn't I" phase. All I can say now is I SHOULD have done it right then and there. The thinning and recession was much worse than I thought it was at the time. Back then I was still waiting to lose more hair before I ditched it all for good.

I really know what you mean....

I would never recognize that as you. Just doesn't look like you at all. Sly is a huge improvement. You look much younger now.
If I had a scanner, I'd post some of these photos that I found. They really make me cringe. -

Kinda funny that I was talking to someone today and mentioned the year I graduated college and they guessed me 10 years younger. Amazing what lack of gray hair will do.

That photo was taken about 10 months ago. And while it was not a "good" photo of me anyway, it was a sort-of wake-up call. Within less than 2 months of that photo I had found SBG's and had taken the plunge... and well, the rest is history.
So maybe we should start a worst before pic contest. Kinda like a take-off of the clear headblade contest, to see the most-improved by going SLY.. and that person would be like our own "poster-boy" for going SLY. I know I've seen alot of good ones. Champ007 comes to mind. So what do ya think??? And now for the prize....hmmmm... maybe an all-expenses paid trip to SBG's Convention 2008?
Or something of that caliber.

I finally found a photo from that time period that was on a CD. This was taken in May 2001. Not a real close-up shot, but you can get an idea regarding the thinning and recession.

Wow Razor, that is a great transformation. In that pic you look like a stereotypical CPA.

Wow.
Rick and Razor, You both look 1000 percent cooler and younger as Sly Guys. Not even a comparision.
Truly amazing!

I think it's good to periodically revisit these old photos and remind ourselves how we got to this point. When I think about having hair, I remember it when it looked good and forget how bad it looked towards the end. It's hard to believe that I waited another 2 1/2 years after that photo was taken to go permanently sly. (I did shave it for the first time in January '02 but did not keep it very long).

Razor, I wouldn't have recognized you. The old pic wasn't too bad; at least you weren't trying to do something 'creative' with your hair. Sly is much better, though.

Hey Rick, I've seen that picture of you pre-sly before and I promise I would not recognize you. I'll have to dig an old one out and let you guys see it.
