Today was first day back to work after going sly just over 2 weeks ago. Gave myself a little extra time and got a nice HeadBlade shave in the shower this morning. (I am really loving the headblade ) As others have remarked, it has really been mostly a non event. Several "looks good" "you look younger" "very trendy", otherwise not much said.
For those of you sitting on the fence because of what they will say at work...I say, go for it. Most people don't really care about shaved heads anymore.

Glad to hear that it was a smooth (pun intended) transition at work. It really is amazing that going sly in the workplace is so common now that guys don't get much of a reaction these days. This is yet another example of why those sitting on the fence need to get over the angst about negative reaction at the workplace. There just isn't much of a reaction.

That's great to hear Mike!

Mike,
Everyone's a bit apprehensive the first day back to the job.
But like you said it's usually all "thumbs up" and basically a "non-event".

Cool Mike. Hope you weren't disappointed by the small reaction. :(

Great news Mike. I know that can be a big event in our minds to get through. Today should be that day I see my boss for the first time. All reactions have been positive so far. O0
-
Yeah its a big anticlimax,i was thinking the same when i shaved mine.....but nothing
-
Today was day #2. I had more interaction with people I have known for a while. Response was overwhelming and positive.....allowed one head rub (was asked...couldn't refuse).
-
awesome mike! same thing happened to me..big anticlimatic let down as far as worrying about negative comments and such.........today i met my new boss...a SLY guy! lol
-
Mike, the same thing happened to me. Today was my first full day back in the office, as I have spent most of the last week working out of the office. The reponses were very positive and the response I was most nervous about were from the partners in the accounting firm that I work for. These were positive also. All that worrying for nothing. Go figure...
Buy the way, I also got a headrub. But it was by surprise. A lady in my office caught me from behind when I wasn't looking. I must say that I did enjoy it. O:O

The bald head is a "chick magnet"!!

Way to go man. O0 Glad to hear the good reactions.
-
Glad to hear Day 2 was even better Mike.
-
Glad to hear it Mike. O0

Good deal Mike but don't let your guard down... there's some ladies out there that'll attack when you least expect it! They've been know to actually rub and smooch your noggin'! :*))
-
Sarge is right, I've seen it happen.
-
Glad people are taking notice. Similar start here...but then again, before I went SLY I went out of my way to hide my receding hairline :-[ , so I didn't give people much opportunity to notice a change(for all they knew I was already SLY under my hat). Now it's always proudly displayed for everyone to see! O:O

O0 Dear Mike. I've been following your case, as it seems to me you were committed to the 'system' so long you almost forgot what's natural. I CELEBRATE your non-reaction at work. Only proves the shaved head is gaining acceptability in the mainstream. Attitude and self-confidence are everything. I would not go back to the sprays, supplements, and topicals for all the tea in China. Anyone who has a problem with our baldness, has a problem with his/her perception of reality.Glad you're here.

Thanks professor. I feel like I've reclaimed my head and continue to enjoy the new sensations. I've been receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Congratulations Mike on the positive reactions and especially on the positive feelings for yourself.

It's really amazing how just having a completely bald head can TOTALLY change your outlook on life and actually give you one...that YOU are more in control of!
Congrats my bald brutha!

glad to see you got a positive response.
