I know how you feel. Just a few months ago I took a razor to my hair and went bald. I liked it from the start. Now almost four month later, I'm still bald and I like it even more!

It will be three years this September for me, and I'm still loving it. Bald is for me. You look outstanding sir. I'm sure you will never go back to hair. Most us us here haven't and probably never will.

I LOVE IT!!! i was surprised at how much stubble grows in a day. i couldnt wait to shave my head again to get that smooth feeling back. the only negative reaction was from my mom who asked me why i did it. after a while she told me it "didnt look terible" her biggest issue is i have really thick hair and that she diddnt get why i did it cause i'm not balding. but i really like this. so happy i went sly. i was surprised how much attention i was getting from the girls last night though. hahaha

do you ever not do it yourself and pay to have it done with maybe, a stright razor. is that part of mixing it up? does anyone pay to have it done? if so, why? and how often? and how do you find a shop willing to do it?

I KNOW. Amazing how fast the hair grows back when you are bald by choice.

right. Why would a guy with a full head of hair (like me), just shave it off. And repeat that every day! LOL.
Guys, I think that we have another sly brother here! A few months down the line you'll still be shaving bald every day and loving it.

I"m too cheap. The hair grows back too fast. Why spend $15 or more for a headshave that will be stubble by evening.

I have never used an electric shaver, either all or nothing for me. I have gotten a straight razor shave once before and it was not what I expected. It was a female barber that did it and she sliced my head and made me bleed from a dozen cuts. Plus, there were maybe 3 smooth spots, the rest was still at a days stubble worth. I hear that an old fashioned barber style is the way to go, with an old experienced barber.
For the relationship part- keep your head smooth and shiny, wear sunscreen and try to get a tan on it, ladies love it. I tend to shave daily because you never know when a lady will want to rub your head for good luck. I had an almost relationship start when I was at work and a customer came in, she saw me and was shy to ask but ended up asking if she could rub my head for good luck. I let her, she loved the feel of it and would come in once a week just to rub my head. One night we went out for a burger and started hanging out more and more and were almost to the point of being officially dating when she had a family emergency and had to fly back to the east coast to be with her family. We still facebook each other but she now has a boyfriend

When I've carried a beard for an extended period, I've gone to my childhood barber (or a classmate who is also a barber) to get the beard trimmed and shaped (I don't shave everyday due to breakouts). If I have more than say, five days of growth, I let them shave my head as well. Prior to joining this forum, I went to the barber on alternating Fridays (the Fridays I was off) My childhood barber (who is in his 70s), charges $10 for everything, whereas my classmate charges $20 for everything) Since joining this forum, I may have been to a barber twice and that was only because I was on maneuvers and couldn't get my hands on a razor or cream at the time (big mistake). In your situation, most barbers will do it, but you have to ask as some may not give you a razor shave for sanitary reasons, it's pretty much a case by case basis.
