Thank you to all that responded. I am going to the store today and buying a headblade and doing it either today or tomorrow with a pic coming I promise. I have an ole high school buddy coming home from Iraq who has been pushing me to go sly for about 3 years now. So, I am gonna give him the first honors. Oh and PBurke i am from Gadsden, AL. Marty22: thanks to your comment, I had that song in my head all day yesterday. Once again, thank you to all. It sure is nice to come to a site for questions with people you can trust.
I surprised my wife. She'll be OK. Furthermore, if she only is hanging around for your hair, you have bigger issues. LOL

Welcome Cheese. Good luck with the woman. you'll just have to tell her you joined a bald cult on the internet and you have no choice but to shave 
Really, thats not too far from the truth. As soon as I saw this forum I was toast.
Cheese, welcome aboard! It's your life, your dome, if you wanna try the sly lifestyle go for it. She will adapt or move on. Like one of the bros said if she's hanging around for your hair there are bigger issues to deal with.
