Title: Taking the plunge
Post by: Accepted on April 01, 2012, 02:46:53 PM

Been thinning for a while and wondering if I should just take the plunge... need some help/ support! This is the closest I've ever cut it and to be honest, i'm loving it! :D

Go for a number 1 or if your there go 00
If you like that then buy a decent razor shaving gel or get it done professionally .its highly addictive

Yes, absolutely.  There is something very satisfying about shaving your head completely bald. If you don't want to do it all at once, go down to a #1 then take off the guard and clipper it 'no-guard', and the razor it.

It will look good on you.

Yes, step by step could be the way forward for you. This was my approach, too. Two months ago, I shaved bald. Haven't looked back.

And as Mr Zed said, you'll love the new smooth feeling on your head. Every single day.

Good, good.  :)

Then wait no more ! When you go sly, the curiosity and anxiety stop. Then a whole terrific new look and feel begins.

Two week intervals are good.  Although I'd encourage to run your clippers at the current length every few days. The shorter your hair, the shorter the haircut lasts.

During my final days of hair, I was running the clippers every other day just to keep my head looking uniform from day to day.

I think that you will find that once the thought of going sly gets in your head it just doesn't leave.   Relieve the anxiety and just go for it.  You can always grow it back, but bet you won't want to.

It sounds like swimming in cool water the longer you leave before full immersion the cooler you get but once immersed and swimming you warm up quickly

Welcome aboard. Just cut it down real short then go for it with your razor.  8)
