Alright, gang....
I know this subject has been touched on to some degree in other threads....and I can name two of you off the top of my head who this applies to (David and Chadoweasle).
But my wife specifically asked me to pose the question again to the gang.
"How many of you are staying slick even though you still have pretty good or good coverage if you decided to grow it out?"
What initially confused my wife and is now confusiing certain folks is....why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.
So....
Question #1: "How many of you are staying slick even though you still have good coverage (i.e. no MPB)?"
Question #2: "Why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.?"
-----------------------
Post up, mates....I gave her my thoughts, but she wants to hear from THE PROFESSIONALS!
BTW...my shaving this weekend is not predicated on anything here...she's just curious.
-
My reasons:
I like the look, even as a child I liked the look. I never thought I looked right with hair. Kinda weird. I wish I would have shaved way back in the day (at least in high school). Of course I'm sure that my mom wouldn't have let me or liked it.

Thanks, Medic....so if you chose to, you could grow it back with good coverage?

Question 1: It's slick all right. The most you feel is the tiniest bit of stubble and consider if you let her shave it for you eventually, she will more able than you to see missed spots/go over them properly. Also you can't see it unless you yourself look in the mirror real close.
Question 2: The biggest reason I can give is easiness. Now somebody may say you spend more time now shaving your head, than you did messing with your hair, which is true. But what I mean by easiness is that is all BY CHOICE. If I wanted, I could get up and go and nobody would know the difference/care. And that will come in handy when I get my first full time teaching job trust me. I shave my head daily because it's something I like to do. Not because I have to.
However, the other big reason is feel your head after you've shaved. When you run your hands over it and notice how smooth it is, you'll never want to give it up. There's also stuff like no bed head/hat head, the fact it makes me look more mature/professional/put together....
Are there times I look in a mirror and nitpick it too much, sure.... But to me that just proves two things:
1) I now care about my appearance, which with hair I didn't. A good thing..
2) We are harder on ourselves than others will be.. I can notice the difference in this lighting compared to that lighting kinda stuff, but nobody else would. It's like the shadow, this downstairs mirror in my parents house shows it a lot more prominently than any other.... But i've gotten used to it, etc.. I'm not going to let something that trivial deter my happiness. Plus again if I didn't like it, why would I look in a mirror in the first place.
The other thing I like is it puts the focus on my dominant blue-green eyes and my smile... Keep in mind I never have been good at smiling(I think about it too much). Since shaving my head, it's really easy to smile, it just comes naturally... It just shines right through...
-
Also a good analogy is when the wife or any women goes and dyes their hair or makes a drastic length change. It's our version of that....

Good point. For service tonight, I took it down another notch on the clipper guard. My wife and I notice a pretty decent difference....but the folks at church simply know that I've been buzzing my hair. They're not gonna go, "wait a minute...whatter you doin?....your buzz is a milimeter or two shorter than last week."

Well, not so much anymore. I have a pretty good widow's peak going nowadays, but when I started buzzing with no guard on the clippers back in 1994, I had a full head of hair.

Question #1: "How many of you are staying slick even though you still have good coverage (i.e. no MPB)?"
Question #2: "Why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.?"
#1) I am shaving clean 4 - 5 times a week. When I let it grow out I can still have a full mane of red/blonde curly hair. No sign of hair loss or thinning.
#2) For a few reasons. It looks good, it’s easy to maintain, it’s clean and it’s cost effective.
While those are all good solid reasons to shave your head, they aren’t my biggest reason for shaving my head. I shave my head for the same reason that other people wear their hair short, or long, or a certain color. I shave my head, because I want to.
Thinking of head shaving only as an alternative to a receding hairline or bald spot is simply looking at the action and choice of it from the wrong angle.
Asking why you’d shave your head when you don’t “need†to is like asking why someone would wear their hair short, when they COULD grow it long. Or why they wear it their natural color when they COULD have it any other color they like. It’s like asking why you wear a certain style of clothing, when you COULD wear a number of others, why you choose a hamburger when you COULD have tacos. It’s a choice, an option a preference.
The most important reason you should ever change your appearance is because you want to and because you can. No “better†reason is required or exists.

BRILLIANT!!!
Thanks Vash

I agree with everything that Vash said. I look at it as an alternative. I could have full head of hair. I first started shaving when my son was undergoing chemo. Wife thought I would grow it back after he went into remission. Not so much

...after he went into remission.
Thank God for this!......really.

I have no MPB, and very full thick head of hair if i chose to grow it, in 2 days i have to buzz it with clippers prior to the blade otherwise the hair is too wrong.
I go slick because
It's a lifestyle not a hair style

"How many of you are staying slick even though you still have pretty good or good coverage if you decided to grow it out?"
What initially confused my wife and is now confusiing certain folks is....why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.
This is going to sound crazy, but ....
I shaved for the first time in January 2002, after 3 or 4 years of thinking about it. I'd receded a good bit and was just starting to thin, but still had most of my hair. I knew that the day was coming when the hair would be gone, I was curious to know what I'd look like with a shaved head. A botched haircut gave me the excuse I needed to actually do it. I liked the result, but grew it back right away, because I felt so self-conscious about it. I just wasn't ready to be bald yet.
However, after that first shave, I was absolutely hooked on the smooth feeling and I shaved and grew it out again several times over the next two years. Finally, in November 2003 I decided that I really needed to get this "out of my system" and that meant being a full-time baldie, whether I liked it or not, for an extended period of time. I forced myself to shave daily for three months and then extended the period for another three months. I wish that I could say by that time, that I never looked back. But suddenly, I had the urge to grow my hair again.
Now, here's the crazy part - I had a Seinfeld moment. The hair would not grow back. I was bald -- permanently! I don't know why it came as sort of a shock because I certainly knew it was going to happen someday. But you always think you've got more time. I could still grow some hair on top and still had to shave it every day, so I hadn't noticed how much I'd lost. But when I stopped shaving, it never developed into anything more than peach fuzz.
I have even less on top now, but am still not naturally slick bald on top. And the crazy thing is, sometimes I forget that I've got severe MPB. Sometimes if I get into lazy mode and go a day or two without shaving, I can almost convince myself that if I let it grow for a long enough time, I'll eventually get it all back. After about 5 or 6 days, which is about the longest I've ever held out, it becomes painfully obvious that it isn't going to come back.
Every once in a while, I see someone on TV or in a movie and think their hair looks really good, and think, maybe I should grow mine out and get it cut like that. Then I remember the cold hard truth. I think because I've never gone around with an MPB fringe, I just don't think of myself that way.

Q #1: If I chose to grow my hair back, I would have a full thick head of dark brown hair.
Q #2: I think for me, it was just a choice, kinda like choosing what type of hairstyle I would like the next time I went to the barber. It was like a fashion statement.

I have to get a new pair soon too. I've already gone through the second soles on these boots. So I'll hang on to the ones I have for manual labor and stuff. Then I'll have a new pair for showing off and boot scootin and such.

As a Bay Area boy, I could never in a million years see myself in a pair of cowboy boots. I wear dress shoes, sneakers, golf shoes, and sandals...not necessarily in that order. I would be as fake as Pam Anderson if I tried to wear c-boy boots. Although I'm probably not equipped to comment (which never stopped me before), how in the hell can someone from Colorado wear snake skin boots???
Tony Lamas???? ;D The only Lamas I know are the Dali, Fernando (Billy Crystal character), and the fuzzy horsie things that spit.
Robmeister...ditch the Kaa shoes, torch the speedo (please, that was a joke, right?), and do 20 Hail Mary's "I will never wear snake skin boots". Good lord, man.

If I grew mine back out, I would still have a full head of hair... I just don't like it. I have been obsessed with baldness for about 5 years now. I used to shave my head with a 1 guard when I was in high school because I didn't think I would look right totally bald. Then I gained a bit of weight (I am 5'6 and I used to weigh in at about 112 lbs) and I wanted to shave it all off so bad I couldn't stand it, so I did. My ex-wife hated it so I grew it back after about 2 months. When she left so did my hair.. again. Then I met Kori and she LOVES me without hair, even after seeing pictures of me with hair (all different styles and colors, too). So now there will never be a reason for me to grow it out again. Sometimes I wish that I was balding so I wouldn't have to shave so much, lol.
All in all I guess it's this: I don't like my hair and I love the way I look bald. I think that Vash really said it best, though.
-

I know what you mean, Cam...
Take a look at BaldRob's pic in the gallery with that little bit of hair around the back of his noggin....
Not a lot of shaving to deal with....and consequently, not much of a pale shadow (back when).
My wife asked me to start this thread back just before I shaved...
I'm starting to find out that the majority--not by much--but the majority of folks on here (at least the more active ones who have weighed in on this subject) are BBC .........not MPB.
-
Am BBC. Was already wearing it short because of my previous career but wanted to see what the total shave would look like. Did it for a fundraiser Then shaved occassionally, then weekly, and as early as last week was considering stopping shaving, but found I definitely did not like having hair, even velcro becomes annoying. I agree that it is definitely a lifestyle choice and after viewing multiple threads and hearing constant support for the Sly style admit I can't see myself ever growing it again. If I stopped shaving would have a full head of head, no widows peak, no receding, nothing.
-
I've said it once and I'll say it again, man I love bein a sly guy.
-
I shave the mane every morning. I did it for one reason: because I have a well shaped skull!
It gets the attention From the ladies, and the fact is that every man is able to have any haircut that his hair can support, but only the SMOOTHEST PLAYERS IN THE GAME shave off the Fuzz.
I still have GREAT COVERAGE. If I grew it back, I would have a full, and often unkempt mane. But you know what, its the reverse to Sampson and Delila... the Minute that I shaved off the mane, my weaknesses no longer remained, I became the Animal, the Stud, One of the BALD BY CHOICE!

Your comments was like looking in a mirror!
My hair is curly red/blonde!
when I was a kid my Dad always gave us 'crew cuts' as they called them!
He would take the clippers without a guard (didn't have one) use the comb pull the hair up and clip, clip!!
Besides that I would look more like a nerd than I allready am!!
::)

I actually have a full hair head.... and it's think to.. but I shave cause I like it..

I think we all shave our heads because we like looking and feeling like waxed bowling balls! Plus that shave every morning....

Alright, gang....
I know this subject has been touched on to some degree in other threads....and I can name two of you off the top of my head who this applies to (David and Chadoweasle).
But my wife specifically asked me to pose the question again to the gang.
"How many of you are staying slick even though you still have pretty good or good coverage if you decided to grow it out?"
What initially confused my wife and is now confusiing certain folks is....why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.
So....
Question #1: "How many of you are staying slick even though you still have good coverage (i.e. no MPB)?"
Question #2: "Why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.?"
-----------------------
Post up, mates....I gave her my thoughts, but she wants to hear from THE PROFESSIONALS!
BTW...my shaving this weekend is not predicated on anything here...she's just curious.
Well, the answer to question 1 is yes, I still have good coverage, and the answer to question 2 is even though I have good coverage, I just look too good bald! I look like a geek with hair, sexy without it O:O
-

Alright, I will have to say that I bleed like you as well. With hair, I just looked wimpy, soft, weak, cartoonish, I looked for no better of a word, Sloppy.
For all of us who have gone the route of being BBC, I think that we understand that "Yes, hair is nice" but we realize that "Bald Is Bada$$" and the only way to role.

I agree with you there man!!!
-
Well, I have MPB so when I did have hair I had a nice island in the front, and the island has been having less and less company so if I did grow it back (which is unlikely at this point - even after just 1 wk of slyness) it would likely be an even more remote island.
Oh yeah, BTW, I wasn't born 'til 78 ;D
-
If I let grow it out I have full hair. However, it's my fetish to shave my head. I always loved short hair, and today I love a smooth bald head.
Best regards

1st of all.... robmeister U R definitely rocking the sly look....
2nd... VAsh definitely said it best. i've been contemplating shaving the dome 4 about 3 years but was just scared about the outcome. i still have decent coverage but i was slowly losing the battle w/ mother nature. i knew that in about 3-4 years that mother nature would win the battle of taking my hair. the funny thing is that my wife was very encouraging and actually wanted me to go w/ the sly look 2 years ago.
anyways... april 24, 2007 was the day of my new look. and U know what..... I"M LUVING THE NEW LOOK!!!!!
i feel like mr. clean, smooth&sexy, pigpen, vash, tyler, medic, shryro, happyharry, razorx, noner, pburke, paul, danyroo, froze, arr3ince, baldrob,tyler, baldandre, kalboarnie, and U (robmeister) rolled up into one SUPER FLY AND SUPER SLY DUDE. and besides the wifey can't keep her hands off me. i'm like a new toy that she can't stop playing with(smile/wink).
oh... and uh robmeister don't feel old because U look pretty cool 4 an old guy. hehehe.

I don't do things for an image look, I did this because I wanted to. Women when they want a hair cut will cut a little or a lot and not care really what the guy thinks. I know I have experienced this with my own wife, and she has ask that I leave the goatee off.... :Xo!
But I enjoy my new sly guy look, I had always wondered, just what I would look like with it. I had been keeping my hair short anyway, so I finally did it and love it. She of course is still getting used to the look and idea of the new change.
Another way of looking at it, is that women go bra-less because it feels good, and well some women should keep their bras on when they got to much. But the freedom of being restrained by what nature gave me ie hair.
Yep, Bald Is Beautiful O0

Wow...still getting responses after 6 months...
I started this thread the day before I went sly back in January.
Thanks for all the input...
I've come to learn a lot from this site since January and really don't have the same concerns when I started this'n
Vash's response was AWESOME for me back then because I was conjuring up all kinds of questions (mostly from women) about WHY?....WHY?....WHY?....if you have full coverage?
Vash's counsel bears repeating....I actually printed it out back in January to show my wife.
Asking why you’d shave your head when you don’t “need†to is like asking why someone would wear their hair short, when they COULD grow it long. Or why they wear it their natural color when they COULD have it any other color they like. It’s like asking why you wear a certain style of clothing, when you COULD wear a number of others, why you choose a hamburger when you COULD have tacos. It’s a choice, an option a preference.
The most important reason you should ever change your appearance is because you want to and because you can. No “better†reason is required or exists.

My aunt just saw me for the first time today in my "SLY" style.. she looked at me funny and said why in the hell did you do that?
My reply?
Because I felt like it and its my God given right, that's why! Don't like it, get used to it, cuz its my way of doing things. O0
-
Cool reply, the Sly look suits you well, I would not have guessed you were 50, what was her response to your bold statement?
-
Yep, I turn 51 on Monday.... O0
My aunt just sat there, as though I really stumped her... I just kept a big smile on my face, and well..... this is cool man.

I started shaving daily in 1983 and still pretty much have al my hair. i always to be a completely bald man-gotta be a slick skinhead

I know this might be an old thread but here is my response. BECAUSE I CAN! lol
I have a full well lets say 3/4 of my orginal hair from when i was younger...but i like the short cut anways and when i first decided to shave it off...it jsut suited me. Im not tryin to impress anyone or mislead myself ...its like asking someone why they read the front page of the paper first then flip it over and read from the back to the front....because they can. Wow i hope that didnt sound crappy cause i didnt mean for it too

I have no idea how much coverage I would have...but I will say if they 'cured' baldness tomorrow, I would say 'no thanks'. this is who I am.

Question #1: "How many of you are staying slick even though you still have good coverage (i.e. no MPB)?"
Yeah- I still have pretty good coverage, although thinning a little.
Question #2: "Why would someone go totally bald while they still have good coverage.?"
I just like the look and the feel! Simple as that! :P

I grow plenty of hair...actually have annoyingly extremely thick hair (I attached a pic of my hair before I shaved it yesterday). I just like the bald look. My argument for my wife was...."I have never told you how to cut your hair or fix it. So, when I really go bald are you gonna not like it the rest of my life." She still doesnt love it but it is growing on her. It is funny thought, because people naturally think you are like a biker, or thug when you shave your head..I am a pastor..it kinda throws people off...all the more reason I like it ;D
