Well, around midnight, I jokingly mentioned to a friend that I should shave my head like him. He said I'd look good and should go for it.
2 hours later, I'm bald by choice! :D
Still feel far from smooth up top. Using a Mach 3 with a brand new blade, and Barbasol. Some areas feel "duck butt smooth" but others, feel stubbly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm scared to go over it too much or with too much force, lest I get razor burn. Yes, I've tried switching directions. I'm sure I'll perfect the technique in time.
Mostly I did this to shock my girlfriend...she decided to spend a bit longer on vacation so I wanted to do something fun myself. I kinda like it, so as long as she doesn't declare that I'm banished to the couch for the rest of my life, I'll probably keep it bald for a while.

Looks great...weclome to SBGs!!! O0

I spent atleast half of those two hours reading threads on here to convince myself I really could do it without hurting myself! :D
-
Looks good. To get smoother, try a shaving gel (Edge, Aveeno) instead of Barbasol. What kind of blade are you using?
-
You definitely rock the Sly look. She's nuts if she kicks you to the couch.
-
Nice, very nice indeed. Could we suggest you keep it up for thirty days, you might find this "alternative" style haircut so nice you keep it longer O0 It saves on shampoo and haircuts and it feels so good. O:O
-
Looks good ! :@`
Check out the shaving tips on the forum. You might have to experiment a little to get the best results. But it is worth it. Give yourself some time.

Welcome to the group.

Welcome JJW! It looks great and I'm betting she'll like it... but will be shocked at first!
-
Thanks guys :D
I used a Mach 3 blade...I bought some Sensor disposable sbut then found I had a few Mach 3's left. For my face, I've been using some random disposable lately to be cheap.
I'll try a shaving gel sometime here.
I'm definitely telling her that even if she hates it, it's sticking around for a while to let it grow on her...no pun intended!

welcome!

You rock the sly look, jahjah! Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to SBG.
I shave against the grain to get silky smooooooth. Some guys can do it but it causes problems for other guys. Just an idea.

A third shave has me smoother than ever!
Also showed a few more people the new look. One friend said she loved it. A few others said it looked good. Then I took my beanie off while talking with a group of older friends... One woman freaked out, she thought I must have cancer or something! Another couldn't fathom why I'd go to the skin, and suggested I just shave really close. A third said I looked really bad. :D But in general, the feedback has been positive!

Sounds like my friend Brian. He got married yesterday and was nervous. A couple weeks ago he said on the wedding day he wanted to show up and surprise everyone but didnt know how. We were shootin the bull for a bit and out of the blue he said "Maybe I'll shave my head and surprise everyone!". I told him he would look great shaved, he had a mop on his head and used gel and all that. Well New Years Eve- the night before the wedding he did it. We were gonna go to a barn burner and he called me up and told me I had to help him do somethin before the party. I got there and he had started shaving with the horse clippers. On the morning of the wedding he reshaved and was smooth. He showed up wearing a beanie and when he took it off before he entered the church there were a whole lotta gasps and shock then laughter.
After the wedding his wife and everyone asked about it, he blamed me which I dont mind. She loves it on him and I told him the 30 day rule.
So it seems like lots of people did it for new years.

Welcome aboard JahJah!
I, like yourself, have just recently went sly. Actually, I shaved mine about a week ago. I loved it, my fiance hated it. She is fine with a little stubble, like a good trim without a guard, but can not stand the bald. I love the sly look though and am going to stick it out, the nice thirty day rule. The guys on here suggested I send her a link to our forums and have her look around so I just did that!
Stick with it, it feels great!

Welcome buddy. Enjoy the site! great site great guys
Enjoy the sly look too, maybe it is stick around awhile as well.

I'd be surprised if you got any negative feedback other than it just being a plain old shock. I can't wait until I can slick it! I had a buzz a year or so ago and was far to self-conscious to appreciate it (an ex did the shaving and I wasn't too sure about the reaction).
Good stuff, dude :)

That's a cop-out, just shave it. Let costuming worry about it. ;)
