The sly look is certainly a vast improvement: you looked like a follower before: now you look like a LEADER!   O0

Congrats!  Glad your first day sly to the world went well.  For me after 4 1/2 months of slyness, there are still some rough times, but most of the time it is great.  At work, it is like I have been sly forever.

Personally I think you look alot better SLY. Even after a few months...I shaved back in June of 08..I am still getting used to it but overall like it this way alot better.  O0

yo dude, you have the sly look killed. I'm a little jealous that your head shape is better than mine.
but I think soon you will look back at pictures of yourself with hair and think about how silly you looked, and you'll wish you had shaved sooner

Well here is an update.  Day 5 of being sly and have too say I am liking it!!  Some of the reactions have been pretty funny...two managers almost fell off their chair.  So I have been to 7 stores so 17 more to go...I kinda enjoy seeing the reactions.  Tonight I went to dinner at one of my regular places and it took the waitress a minutes to recognize me and couldn't get over it.    It is liberating not having to worry about the wind or rain.  I had no ideas I spent so much time stressing about things like that until today.
 So a big thank you for the support and helping a guy out.

Hey Daran, a late welcome to you bro. I gotta say it is an awesome change.

It's like night and day, and you look more confident and younger to boot.

It works for you, keep it.   O0

Here is a photo of me with hair.  Not the best and doesn't really show how thin my hair was getting but I think it gives you an ideas.



It may not show your thinning, but it does show why you needed to ditch the hair -- 500% improvement.  You look much younger too.  Way to go!   O0
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and support.  It has been almost two weeks now and I am really liking it.  I have had pretty positive feedback.  I get asked why I did it allot and this puzzles me because I thought the mpb was pretty obvious, I am not sure if they are  shocked that I shaved it all off instead of a short haircut.  I few people have asked if I plan to grow my hair back but I think that once you go sly and are loosing your hair there is no going back.  I will try to post a better pic soon, my avatar is from the first night with my iphone.  Thanks again

No doubt about it, you made a wise decision. 
It really wasn't his decision. You're forgetting he was under the influence.

 
Ok so my friend got me drunk tonight and I shaved my head. No going back since the mpb was so bad it would look stupid trying to grow i back.....ok enough rambling on what do you guys think?   

Daran, you should thank your friend. He did you a big favor getting you drunk. Joking aside, you're a natural baldie. Keep it SLY.  O0

Not sure how I missed your intro  ???
But like everyone else has stated you own the look. Welcome to SBG  8)
I hope you are still enjoying the freedom associated with Sly and see just how little hair has to do with who you are.
Congrats, now you should get your friend drunk and DD him around just to say thanks  O0
