Title: NEWBIE....Question....Can I pull it off?
Post by: rocketcane22 on May 10, 2011, 03:17:08 PM
Curious if you guys think I could pull the "look" off....Try to overlook the horrendous "tan line"....I am looking to be "free"...but I wanted to come to some experts and see what you guys thought....

To be really honest, from that view it is a bit hard to tell.  I say it would be noproblem.   The point is DO YOU WANT TO DO IT?   If so then you go for it.  If you're thinking about it, you won't be satisfied until you give it a try.  You will get plenty of help and support here when you are ready to go for it.

Don't get me wrong, but think on this--can anyone pull off a horseshoe?  IMO, no--so unless your really like a horseshoe personally, Sly is easy.

Yes, and looking at your pic, it's definitely time to buzz it down and shave.

Shave it off man....   once the top is tan, keep the 5 o'clock shadow and you are good to go.  Looks good.

You've got nothing to lose. In the (extremely) unlikely event that you think you look better with the horseshoe, it grows right back!

To put it bluntly,the tree line around the mountain isn't a "look" for anyone. Lather up and go into the lumber business.

Go for it  - - -it always grows back and you like most of us  - - do not have alot to grow back  - - -I get lazy every so often and sport a horseshoe  - -  A group of us who are bald let the fringe grow and we see who can let it grow for the longest time  - - -three weeks is the longest we have gone  - - Two weeks is it for me

Welcome and enjoy being SLY BALD

Anyone can "pull it off."  To think that there is a particular head type that just does not bear shaving, and that you just might have it is "sitting on the fence."  There has never (to my recall) been a similar post about "good head" vs. "bad head"  here where anyone said, "Oh, my God, DON'T do it.  In fact, get a paper bag, punch out some eye holes, and put it on right now."  Unless your head has been run over and there are tire tracks permanently inscribed there, there is no head that can't be shaved and accepted.  Nobody who posts here has failed to do so.  The point is not "pulling it off," but wanting to do it, doing it, and then moving on to more important things, like... what's for dinner?

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

You can definitely pull it off.  The toilet seat of hair is never a good look. 
Ne-ver.

Shave it.  Give it 30 days.  If you don't like it, you can have your horseshoe back in a couple weeks.

Man, you need to shave it off!

Fred, dude, you're posting to a thread where the guy was around for four days 5 months ago.  He has left the building!.

Another dead thread.  Sorry to be an a$$, but look at the original post to see if it's even relevant.

If you have vacation time coming up do it then. After 1 week if you're not comfortable with it, let it grow back.
