;D Just recently a lot of people at work shaved their heads in support for Cancer. Some guys even went to other step and shaved it bald. I was one of those. The razors they had at work were the cheap thrpw away ones and I got a few nicks. Then at home I took the mach 3 to it and I am loving it so far. I even feel more confidant, if that makes sence to anyone. My wife has to get used to it though, she doesn't seem to like it that much yet... Any advice to get her tom get used to it? or just give it time?

Welcome to SBGs mmatzick! My wife was not very supportive of me going SLY, but after a few weeks she got used to it! 8) She still tries to down play it a little, but all I have to do is remind her how much her friends seem to like it! O:O
-
Welcome, glad ya joined us. Give it some time. When she realizes how much you like it and the confidence it gives you, she should come around.
-
So far it's mostly my co workers that have seen me.. haven'nt seen to many other people as of yet ;)
-
Welcome to the brotherhood! O0 O0
Eventually she will get used to it...kind of has to doesn't she ;)
Tell her it makes you feel good and she will see your point!

mmatzick,
Welcome! Did you ever have thoughts of doing this before the big shave event at work, or is this a new found discovery that you like? My wife wasn't thrilled about it too much and I didn't ask her -- I did show signs that I was headed that way. She eventually got used to it, but she's not much of a head-rubber. :-[ I agree with Paul; let your wife know how much you like it, and that it gives you a boost of confidence. By the way, were you losing your hair, or did you shave a full head? Post a pic if you can, and keep it sly.

WELCOME!
My wife didn't like my new look and so I gave in and grew it back. A year later I told her I just wasn't happy and I was shaving it off again. She's still not too excited about it but some things a guy just has to do! She won't admit it but I can tell she likes the confidence I now have! O:O
Positive comments from hot babes welcome! :*))

I think time will help out. If it's something you really like, be honest and let her know.
And welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

I had a full head of hair. It was shaved off clipper short in support for Cancer and I decided to go all the way and like is. I will post a pic as soon as I get some. Tomorrow is shave day anyway :O
-
Welcome mmatzick! I think once she gets to see the confidence you feel it will help ;)
The weekend is coming up, maybe dinner out will be up her alley 8)
Keep it smooth!!

O0 Dear Mat. Welcome to the brotherhood. Give it time. Also, involve her: get her to shave your head--intimate experience, as those on this forum can attest. Stick with it; exude confidence and a "what's wrong with YOU," attitude. Being willfully bald is a guy thing, a celebration. Professor Melon

Welcome to SBG, mmatzick.
My wife wasn't wild about me going totally sly at first either. Over time, she has grown to like it. Besides, she couldn't say much because she occasionally dyes her hair.
-
Welcome to SBG! My wife wasn't sure at first. However, she has come to love my SLY look. The nightly headrubs prove it...the head massage is nice too. ;)

Welcome mmatzick!

Welcome brother. I always say "anyone can wear hair and only the proud and "sly" can go without!

Hey Mmatzick,
Welcome to SBG. I was very fortunate that my wife loves the look. She has complained a little about the beard tickling her. I told her to get used to it, its here to stay.

Mark,
I'm with you, the wife likes(accepts) the look, but when it grows a little or I grow the goat, she gets all bent out of shape...oh well!

Dude, you rock the "Mr. Clean" look pretty well...a goat would just mess things up..
plus goin' for the "Mr. Clean' thing gives the added benefit of that 'extra' bald look and feeling..
Keep rockin' the clean, my bald brutha! O0
-
B.A. thanks...
I don't like the full goat, just the bottom...but for work, I do the complete "Mr. Clean".
-
I seem to be used the bald look now and the wife is getting used to it too.. I think that I will be keepin this look for a while yet.... O0

Welcome to SBG! She'll warm up to it. It took my wife a month to get used to it. She'll say she doesn't like it when my friends poke fun, but she likes to rub it right after I shave it.

Hi...I'm Terry and I just took the plunge! I have been receding from a young age and am now 43. I went to work today, and I have to say it was amazing to see people's reaction. But I think I will like it once I get used to it. I am also a musicina, professionally for years, with the 80's hair and the whole deal, so to accept this is huge, but just reading some insight from all the guys here, it mhelps alot...so rock on....I will be posting regularly.

Oh...will post a pic once my forehead tan catches up with the rest! I live in Phoenix!

Welcome to SBG's thumpertc. Be sure to check some of the post on the lotions with sunscreen and moisturizers, etc. Don't want to get the new dome burnt. Post up a pic when you get a chance.

Welcome Terry, glad you found SBG's; you'll find lots of good advice here. Before going sly I was worried about people's reactions. But they've been overwhelmingly positive, and now I am really enjoying the responses and looks of shock.

Welcome thumper... look forward to your future posts.
-
Terry, welcome to Sly Bald Guys! I'm sure your tan will catch up quickly living in Phoenix. I know, I used to live there. Just remember to wear some sunscreen.

Hey Terry and Thumpertc, welcome to the SBG forum, glad you've both joined. Looking forward to reading more posts from the both of you.
