Pros outweigh the cons!!!
« on: January 12, 2007, 09:20:48 AM »
I have several reasons for shaving:

-ease of maintenance
-it's cooler and I sweat like a....
-it looks tough and intimidating
-nothing for someone to grab in a fight
-high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor

All good reasons, but at 6' and 155 lbs, I don't think I have the tough and intimidating factor.  I just like the way it looks.

Welcome Ben. You've come across a good group of guys.

The CDI Factor is a definite plus. Personally, I would disagree on the ease of maintenance thing. I didn't have much hair before shaving it anyway. So, a little shampoo and a brush and I was out the door. Shaving my head is a little more work, but not enough to deter me from "keeping it SLY".

One HUGE plus for me is health of my scalp. My severe case of dandruff has disappeared since going SLY and that can not be overstated.

Again, welcome!
Schro

Something I've always enjoyed is being able to take a shower and go right to bed. :) You can't do that if you have to dry your hair. ;)

I never thought of that, but then again, it's been a while since I've had hair.  Great advantage BulletHead!!  And, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

Pros and Cons, There might be too many cons to list. Being bald I never have to wory about, Bed Head, or Hat Head, going to the barber and decideing which hair style I want, I don't have to wory about windy days, or rainy days for that matter. How about knots in your hair when running a brush or comb through it. That's just a few. :)
