Title: I'm now a sly bald guy!
Post by: realbill on January 23, 2016, 12:27:06 PM: Hello all. I have been a lurker for a few years now. I finally made the plunge last week to
go bald. So I shaved with an electric, lathered up and went to shaving. I am loving my baldness, I thought getting a buzz on a 1/2 was great. But bald is even better! It feels so
weird, but cool at the same time. So listen up fellow lurkers, shave those heads!

That is a good summation of the first experience. There is nothing like that smooth feeling.

Glad you stepped out of the lurker shadows and joined us.

I know that I rubbed my head a lot during the first year. Loved the feel. I still rub my head at times. Still feels nice.

MPB started rearing it's ugly head when I was 25, 29 now and not having it...not a big difference as I always rotated between fades or shaves at a 1/2, but it was noticeable.

Post by: Hingatao on February 04, 2016, 08:11:20 PM: Welcome to the club. I wore an 1/8" buzz cut myself for a long time before shaving it all off. Sly is definitely much better!

I know that I rubbed my head a lot during the first year. Loved the feel. I still rub my head at times. Still feels nice.

Certainly know that feeling. Im only 2 months in to the sly life myself, and i have a hard time nit rubbing my head, especially during those first few hours after a fresh shave while it's still baby bottom smooth.

And to the op of this thread, welcome. You look great sly, hope you stick with it

Post by: realbill on October 19, 2016, 06:04:02 PM: Wow! It's been awhile. Almost 9 months in and I have been shaving regularly. And I absolutely love it, so glad I made the plunge.

Thanks guys for your support!
