Title: Staying Sly
Post by: Paul on March 08, 2007, 01:30:22 PM
Its been four months since I became Bald by Choice.  I never intended to keep it sly, figured it was a just a good change of pace,  but now this slick dome just feels right.  O:O   I can't foresee any reason why I would ever grow hair again.     Just curious how many other BBCer's feel the same way.  Would like input as the girlfriend thought I would be through by now, thought "it was something I was going through"   Seems to think guys who would keep shaving when they have hair are Abby Normal

I can't think of A-N-Y reason why I would grow mine out again.

'specially after this summer when there's a nice even tan up there O0

I never say never but at this moment in time, I plan to stay sly.  If I do find that my AA is in remission, I may let it grow back for a bit just to see what it's like again.  Who knows?  Not I.  I like to surprise myself once in a while I guess.  I like the feel of my freshly shaved head but I don't like the razor bumps and have yet to find a way to shake 'em.
I gave it a rest for 3 days and when I shaved, I found an inbred hair.  Yes I say inBRED cuz da stupid lil mofo dint know which way to go.

Robmeister, keep tippin' em back and your tan will be called "SPF365"....well, SPF366 on a leap year.

No f-in way you'll see me with hair again. My scalp is healthy, my attitude is good, SLY FOR LIFE!  O0 Book 'em, Danno.

I keep it smooth not only too keep away the grays, but I just look so much better without hair, and when I had hair, I had gorgeous hair. I had a boss once that offered to buy me rogaine just to keep it.

Thanks, appreciated the input   Sly was the only option for me but it is great to have feedback from others to share with the gf.  Now its her choice, take me as I am or take a bus.

Hi Paul. I agreed to shave my head for a St.Baldrick's fundraiser for childhood cancer research:
http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/shavee_info.html?ShaveeID=1773#

Not only was my wife onboard with the idea she was the first person that donated on my head! I'm having a straight razor shave at the barbers next Friday morning March 16th and my wife has been very supportive of my soon to be new look.

Depending on how I look bald, and how time consuming it is to maintain I may keep it Sly at least for the summer months.

I bet you'll like it enough to go beyond or permanent. O0

I'll second that Bronco.  Most guys who think of doing it find out they look great Sly.  Maintainance is really no more effort than you would normally have to keep yourself looking good.  Thanks for the input.  Glad your wife is on board with the idea, it is a great cause.

I'm with all of you for sure.  O0  Bald is the way to go.  I've been bald for about 15 years now but only with clippers.  I use to keep about a 1/4 inch of hair on the dome.  But then I started to thin out on top quite a bit about 2 years ago.  I go down a size on my clippers every couple of months to try and find what I was looking for.  I got down without a guard when I finally decided to go for it!!!  By that I mean down to the skin.  It's been about a year now and I would never go back.  I love the "slick dome" look and it gives me confidence I didn't have before.  Yeah it's a cliche used over and over again, but "Bald is beautiful."  ^-^  Can I get an Amen!!!
