Title: Day 3 of my 30 Day Rule
Post by: dshupe on October 12, 2016, 12:39:07 PM

Today marks my 3rd day on the 30 Day Rule.  I have been getting thinner on top since I was 25.  I kept getting closer and closer with a clipper cut for a few year and then in 2011 I decided to clipper cut it myself without any guard.  Everyone seemed to be OK with it but a few made remarks.  I really wanted to shave my head smooth years ago but didn't have enough nerve to do so.  Sunday night I decided that I would go totally smooth.  So far no one as made any comments to me but everyone does look like they are trying to figure out what's different.  I love reading the posts on this site and look forward to being a long time Sly Bald Guy!!

Looks great! I'm sure you will stay sly well beyond the 30 days.

Yeah, I can see by that smile that you don't need 30 days to get it.  You have already "broke the code"!

Today is my 1 week of being totally sly.  I love it and have no plans of ever letting it grow back out.  I am now thinking about my goatee.  I have had one since I was like 20 but have never let it get very long.  Have kept it trimmed fairly close.  I really like the way you guys look with fuller beards and goatees.  I think I will try letting mine get fuller.  I have to say I feel much more confident in my appearance since last Monday morning.

Great news, sir. I am glad this is working out well for you.

I wore a closely cropped beard for over thirty years, then cut it down to just a goat for another five or so. I decided to let it all grow out just over a year ago. I don't intend to go back.

I haven't trimmed my goatee since last Monday which I would normally do at least 2 or 3 times a week.  I think your beard looks great on you.  I haven't ever tried growing a full beard.

Looking good and your smile shows you are pleased and comfortable  with the shaved head.  Agree growing outthe goatee/beard would add another dimension.

 :)Today marks 2 weeks of me shaving my head.  I really am loving it and wish I had of shaved it years ago.  If anyone is on the fence about shaving your head, take it from me and just do it...you will love it!

Looks like the goatee is shaping up nicely to go with the sly head. Keep it up!

Thank you SirHarry....I am liking the look of the fuller goatee but not sure that I want it grow much more as I have never had it more than 1 week of growth.  I might let to go for a few more days and see how it looks.  I am seeing more white than black in it at this point. LOL!
