hi
I am Yann, I live in France, I'm 37, I have no problem with hair loss. But I like to wear short hair.
For some years I want to shave my head.
I'm a little afraid of the reactions of my family and my co-worker.
this year, for my summer holidays i decide to do it , so i did it !
I was a little stressful, but I think the result it correct. I love my new look
A little bit of tan on the head ll give a better result
Unfortunately I could not keep my head shaved to return to work. :(
But I love the result!
What do you think

Hey there Skad and welcome...
You look great with the Sly look! Just curious, why can you not return to work shaved bald?
-
welcome. you should keep it. do not care about the others, it's all about you.
-
Welcome Yann, the "new" you looks great. Shaving is a great experience - glad you've done it.
-
Welcome ,keep the sly look man it suits you!
-
i waine,
thanks for reading my post
french people have a low opinion of men shaved by choice.
if you are shaved, because you have a bald spot, it's not a problem,
if you are BBC, you are a bad boy

I recently spent 6 weeks travelling round Frnce (my favourite country after my home country of Australia) and I was surprised that only a few men had shaved heads. In country areas virtually none. I then crossed to Germany mainly in larger cities and there were plenty of sly heads there.
Yann, if you want to keep your head shaved just do it as from the photos you are a natural. Forget about other people it is all about what you want.
-
Welcome Yann, sly looks awesome on you, you should totally keep it regardless of what other people think. If they think so lowly of you their opinions don't count for anything. As long as you are happy with it my friend!
-
You really suit sly, you look professional and intellectual
-
Welcome, Yann! The sly look really suits you. Maybe you are ahead of the curve in France. Just by going out in public you can teach by example and get some more guys to join you! Could be the start of a trend.
-
Welcome Yann, what a huge difference you look so handsom bald. You should keep it. I am sure your co-workers already know you are not a bad boy. Another vote for keeping it SLY!
-
@ Yann
I know it may be difficult, but perhaps you can contribute by changing the perceptions in your country. If people see you are bald by choice and you have a nice personality with no "skinhead" connotations, you are well dressed etc, then you can make a difference.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I think it looks great on you, Yann. Makes you look younger. In the end, you should do what makes you happy. Anyone who would judge you based on your looks is not worth knowing, anyway.
-
Welcome Yann.
-
Shaved bald is handsome and very short hair looks great ! Congrats for finally trying sly.
-
Real Handsome - - -looks great - - now enjoy your new look - - -
-
Looks great.
-
Welcome Yann!
I want to emphases what others already stated: you look good sly; keep it.
-
What's the worst that could happen if you kept it shaved? It probably wouldn't be nearly as bad as you imagine.
-
thank you all for your positive feedback.
@ Razor X on the fact remained shaved, I'm afraid that my future career barriers.
-
I think you look better without the hair, personally. How would they know if you were bald by choice or naturally balding, anyways?
-
Welcome Yann, looks great!
-
Welcome Yann to SBG...you look good bald. O0
-
Yann,
You look great sly. I like the short hair look on you too.
Welcome to SBG.
-
Welcome Yann, the after photo looks great...was not sure if it was the same person at first...
-
Congrats! I took the plunge today!
-
I'll have to agree, I really like your new look. The bald head is tops!
Will the French accept a buzzed to 'no guard' as OK for a guy vs. shaved? They look almost the same. Although my experience is the the feel of the shaved head is far superior to the buzzed head.
Hope you can find a personal resolution to keep the head shaved. I'm BBC, too. Almost 7 months here and rarely miss a day at taking the razor to my head. It's a highlight of my day.
Looks great.
-
Welcome aboard! I don't think a shaved hair will damage your career, it can only enhance it. Good Luck!
-
Welcome to the bald brotherhood Yann. You look great both ways. But nothing beats the feeling of a smooth shaven scalp.
-
thank you all for your positive comments
all encouraged me to keep my head shaved.
for the moment I have not shaved again, I let my hair grow to see the reaction of my family and friends that you ever seen me with short hair too.
If they also encourage me, I would stay shaved for a while.
-
If I were you I would shave it again, so that they can see it at it's best! If they don't like it when it is looking it's slickest, then let it grow back, if that is what YOU want. But please don't grow it back if you are enjoying being sly, do what makes you happy my friend.

Hello all
some new since my last post
I'm back home and my family and my friends saw my new look!
Here are some reactions!
My mother you out of jail!
My father, I find it well I'll do the same thing.
an uncle: you do not go to the hairdresser for nothing!
An aunt I think as well!
A friend, you did a performance art?
Friend: you look like a Tibetan monk!
I think that all these remarks are positive.
Since my first shave, I buy HeadBlade razor, and I shaved every two days and my head is shining more and more.
It remains only to know the opinion of my colleagues.
Thank you for all your messages that help me bald stayed for a few days

Hello again, skad. Yes, I agree those are positive reactions. Of course, everyone has different comments about it, but they are just initial reactions to a big change. In the end, it's just the flavor of the month for them. They will move onto new things of interest soon enough.
It looks great on you, my friend. Glad to hear you are shaving regularly. Keep up the great work! O0
-
I'm glad for the positive feedback you've got so far.
Great you're keeping the look, it suits you well.
-
I am sure your colleagues will be just as positive, it really is a good look on you O0
-
Hi Skad
People really do say the funniest things.
Glad to hear your enjoying your new found look
-
Yann, that was indeed a positive reaction. Family are often the most critical.
How have you enjoyed "living" with the Sly style?
Are you considering maintaining the Sly look long term?
-
My father, I find it well I'll do the same thing.
A friend, you did a performance art?
Friend: you look like a Tibetan monk!
These comments are great!
-
Stay bald longer. :)
