Welcome, Chris. Give the look and your wife 30 days to get used to it. Sounds like you're liking the look already.

Looks like you had a full head of hair before going sly, so your "shadow" might be more evident than some of us with MPB. What's cool, though, is that people can tell you CHOSE to shave it all down. Great option to have!Stick around and ask any questions you might have.

Welcome to the group!!!!  Like everyone has said, give your wife and yourself 30 days to get used to the SLY look.

Welcome to SLY Bald life Chris.  I"ve been shaving my head for over 30 years and would NEVER have it any other way.  All of us who have chosen to be bald (no mpb) have the same reactions to the pale scalp.  The hair shadow will always be with you until your hair goes totally white/grey.  BUT, as much as you are outside, you'll be surprised at how quickly you forget about it.  After all this time, I still have that shadow, but it's shows that I have made the choice to be SLY, and I like that.  Don't worry about your minor ear problem, people will be noticing your great-looking bald dome, and not at your ears!   

Here's to many years in the SLY brotherhood.

yeah; must admit, I'm bald by choice, and i think because of that, friends and family find it just a little harder to accept.  they wonder why I chose to shave off my hair when I wasnt really going badly bald, just receeding a little.  But stick with it as I have, and people will soon get fed up of asking you to grow it back.

ncblue, welcome to the SBG site, good to hear you decided to just go for it. If you stick with it (30 days), your wife will hopefully get used to seeing the new you.
Good luck and keep it smooth!
