My wife used to cut my hair with a 0 guard buzz, but was against taking any more off.  Thought it would be too radical.  After about 10 years, I went for it, and now, she comments if I miss shaving for a couple days. 

There was a mental thing, that taking that last 1/16th off was such a big step.  But, in reality, there is such a small physical difference that most people don't seem to notice much of a difference.

I waver -- smooth for a while, especially over the summer.

I've even bee known to let some hair grow back once in a while in the winter -- being in Canuckia and all.

Exactly how I did it. And once you go down to a zero guard, when you actually shave your head clean, it'll only take two-three days to get back to a zero guard, in the rare rare rare event that you don't like the complete sly look.

I agree with John. After buzzing at 0 for a while, no one really notices the difference of a tight close shave.  But you will!  It will feel so great and you will have that edge that being smooth gives you.  go for it!
Maduro, I didn't say anything in this thread. How did you know I had a tight buzz for a while before I decided to headshave?

Have you been looking into my crystal ball?

I really think that if you go completely Sly, you'll really enjoy the freedom that it imparts.  Go for it! F!@m F!@m F!@mjavascript:void(0);

I use to use a pair of Wahl clippers with no guard and kept my head peeled down to sandpapaper twice a week before finally lathering up and going against the grain for my first razor headshave.

wtf guys!?  with a 0 buzz, your head shape won't change when its bald.  If you like how you look with a 0 buzz, you will also like how you will look shaved.  You won't get any surprises...
