Title: Today was shave day!
Post by: sellitman on June 29, 2009, 09:54:30 PM: I buzzed my head with the lowest guage on my clipper, looked at the mirror and said to myself.... Yipee kay aye MF and grabbed my Rolling Razor and finished off the deed. I am sly!!!!! As soon as I finish I looked in the mirror and had a smile to myself.

Now the reaction I got from my wife and 3 kids..... Arrrrrrg!

Anyhow, I have been lurking for months and today I finally joined the rest of you gents in the world of sly. Pictures below.

Cheers!

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on June 30, 2009, 01:44:28 PM: Damn, that looks really good. O:O O:O Frankly your horseshoe made you look tired, ineffective, beaten. Now you look like a guy that can take anything on and really kick a$$. I bet you feel the freedom, the liberation that so many of us felt when we finally addressed the issue that vexed us.
Great job, now thirty days. If the wife doesn't like it, she'll have to learn to live w/ it like mine has. Kids, they come along. In fact, now that you're sly they'll start noticing how many guys are sly too, and that will help them over the issue. But as has been said many times, this is what you do for yourself, and you are the one who has to live w/ this or the "ring" 24/7/365--no one else, so it's your decision, and you made a great one. O0 O0 O0

Post by: sellitman on June 30, 2009, 08:55:32 PM: Thanks everyone for the encouragement and kind words. I still wonder who the heck that guy in the mirror is every time I check but I'm sure that dissipates with time. I most definitely plan on keeping this look. I've got my 35 year class reunion coming up and I can't wait to freak my old friends out. :o I was hippy with long hair and John Lennon glasses with a bandanna back then.

Post by: The Noggin on July 01, 2009, 02:13:26 PM: Congrats, you look great!

Plus, you're the living proof that the hair belongs to the chest, not to the head ;)
