Hi,

I joined your group today. i am 27 and from germany. I definitely want to try the shaved head look. In the picture you can see the shortest i tried yet (clippers without an attachment). Will it look much different? And what about the the people around me? will they notice a big difference?

Welcome, 1mm.  Glad to have you with us.  I think you will notice a big difference with a smooth shave.  Others will just consider you bald either way.

Best of luck
Rick

Welcome to the SBG family 1mm, we're glad you could join us.

I doubt that it will that big of an impact on you ort the people around you, if you decide to go SLY as opposed to the clipper cut you already have. I think that the women especially will like it Smmmooooooootttthhhh, and you'll probably like it too.

I say go for it, besides if for some STRANGE reason you decide that you don't like it, how long would it realy take to grow it back out to your current length? A week,,,maybe two tops.

Welcome 1mm...great to have another member from Germany with us.   You will experience and no doubt enjoy the difference from the short buzz to the smooth look.   As the others have already said, to most other people they won't see much difference from where you are now.

I'll definitely give it a shot. on the picture my hair is - I think - around 1 mm. so I really think most people won't notice the difference. i think I'll do it next week. what were the reactions you experienced, when you shaved it completly off after wearing it closely buzzed for a while?

Welcome!

I was just like you, my friend. Used the clippers with no guard for months. Then finally took it down all the way. The difference is big, but if you don't' like it, in 3 days you'll be back to where you started, so no harm in giving it a shot

Welcome 1mm!

Give you a try. Nearly nobody will see the difference, you will recieve almost only positive comments and good reactions. That's the experience of most of us.

Der einzige, der den Unterschied wirklich bemerkt, bist Du selbst!

Good luck!

I agree with Rick.  Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

Welcome 1mm. You are on the edge of a big precipice. Just gotta jump in and shave slick bald.
