Title: Finally bald
Post by: lordpeich on August 02, 2012, 05:12:01 AM: Hi guys, after a few months of doubts, I finally go smooth. The feeling is awesome, but i have a dark shadow.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: Mikekoz13 on August 02, 2012, 05:17:26 AM: Congrats! Did you shave both with the grain AND then against the grain?

This will give you maximum smoothness with the least amount of shadow.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: Frontier Guy on August 02, 2012, 05:24:07 AM: I have several friends who have a dark shadow - and the look works for them just as well as "no shadow" would. I think the same is true for you.

Post by: Beardman on August 02, 2012, 06:15:48 AM: Welcome to the sly brotherhood mate! I hope you are taking on the 30 day challenge, it is the best way for your friends and family to get use to the new you, and it helps perfect your technique and prepare your dome for a lifetime of shaving O0

Post by: Andrei on August 02, 2012, 12:38:08 PM: Congratulation on making the step!
I find it better then the buzz, but like I've said I'm biased.
Good luck with the 30 days, hope you'll keep the look.

Regarding the shadow... I have it too, but everybody can notice that my dome is shaved.
Bottom line: wear it proudly because it does you justice.

Post by: stasiu on August 02, 2012, 12:56:57 PM: Congrats and glad you like the awesome sly feeling ! Don't worry about the shadow -- just keep smiling and looking confident !
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: Natedawg on August 02, 2012, 01:19:22 PM: Glad to see you finally took the plunge, lordpeich! Looks great!
The shadow effect largely depends on the combination of skin tone and hair color. If you want to to try and lessen yours, getting some extra (of course, not too much!) sun on the noggin is your best bet. Have you shaved against the grain yet? That could help a little bit. Hope you decide to keep it! O0

Don't worry about the shadow. Enjoy your new look and that great smooth feeling.

Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: bigstosh on August 02, 2012, 02:29:50 PM: Congratulations and welcome. Don't worry that you have a shadow, be happy that you are young enough that your hair is still dark enough to make a shadow!
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: mrzed on August 02, 2012, 03:26:06 PM: Yes, I tend to have a shadow, too, but I like the bald look so much better that I'm OK with the shadow. BBC. The way to go.

Looks good. Nice to see that you took it all off. Ahhhhhh.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: xnewyawka on August 02, 2012, 04:16:54 PM: Congrats on taking the last step to smoothness. I wouldn't worry about the shadow. As I've said before; it tells me I'll be shaving again tomorrow. ;)
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: lordpeich on August 04, 2012, 01:41:24 AM: Thx for all your comments, im really happy with this decision.

By the moment im shaving my head with the grain, because I have a sensitive skin.

I hope that the shadow will dissapear with some sun exposition ... with protection, of course.

Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: kalbo on August 06, 2012, 12:11:25 AM: The shadow will be minimized soon as you shave against the grain. Be extra careful since it will be your first. Enjoy.

Post by: clarinetguy on September 12, 2012, 10:25:34 PM: Welcome to the forum. The look agrees with you so keep it up. You will find you look forward to the daily shave which gets you smooth again.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: mauler5858 on September 18, 2012, 11:20:00 AM: I went for it around the same time that you did. I have given myself sun exposure along with using headlube, and my shadow seems to be fading a tad. I know it wont go away totally, but it lightened up along with my scalp getting closer to the color of the rest of my face.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: Slynito on September 18, 2012, 05:12:44 PM: It looks good...just take in the sun slowly.

Your coloring looked good from the very beginning. No worries there.

lordpeich, That bald video looks very nice. Even a consistent shine on your head. Have you been sticking with daily shaving of your head? You've had time to complete the 30 day challenge. Did you do it? Are you still bald today? How do you like it? Keeper?
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: lordpeich on January 07, 2013, 06:21:23 AM: Hi again, by the moment, al least during cold months, I prefer to sport a clippershave; but when the weather it will be warmer again I will give another chance to the really sly look.
Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: Beardman on January 07, 2013, 11:43:54 PM: There are a few people around here that do that as well, so you aren't alone! I for one, like to keep it sly all year round... I don't really have any other option really...

+1 to this, you look great LP!! I vote that you should keep it sly. This will be my first winter with the full sly- I know it gets cold, but nothing beats a hot water and lather shave when the snow is flying! :)

Title: Re: Finally bald
Post by: isleepinthebuff on September 04, 2013, 12:49:10 PM: It looks good and suits you but you're a good looking guy and I'm sure hair suits you too and you're in a great position to change your look as you please. So enjoy having the different looks. Grow it when you're bored and shave it when you're bored again.

Post by: Bald Stanley on September 04, 2013, 01:27:16 PM: It looks great on you. I'm still in the first 30 days and the shadow is getting less and less as the skin gets more like the colour of my face and, by shaving against the grain daily, it's getting smoother all the time. Enjoy it. It's a great feeling.

Thanks

Thanks for the video and thanks for using one of my favorite pieces of music on it! (Imagine, that music has remained "on the charts" for hundreds of years!)
