A bit late here too, jon. Welcome to the SBG site. Glad you decided to join, and it's great you chose to be smooth again.
Just go with how you feel and don't worry about anyone else. It's your choice.
Eventually people will see that this is how you want to look and feel; smooth and free!
That's what I call "slydom".
Enjoy the forum and post a pic of the sly noggin' when you can.
