I made an introduction post about 3 months ago. I've been buzzing my hair for about a year now. I always wear a hat, but I've been leaning away from it so I've been able to go out in public with no hat (which feels good) but I haven't been able to go to work without a hat...
Today was the day. I shaved with razor (with the grain for now so I do have a dark shadow) and I'll be honest, it feels damn good. I like the dull bald head so I may find some makeup or something to take away the sheen.
I am always trying to find something new with my beard/mustache. Ideas? Chin Strap beard?
Obligatory picture. Sorry for the quality. Camera isn't that great:

Welcome to sly, and thanks for posting the picture before we asked!
I always like the 'full' beard.
Your bald head looks good. Forget the hat (unless you need a sun shade). Show your bald head proudly.
30 day rule, apply it generously.

Hi man try some headblade matte headlube good stuff ;-)

Hi SDogg: Welcome 2 the sly fraternity. You look like a natural. As far as ideas.... whatever you do just DO NOT put any makeup on the chrome dome. If you want to reduce the shine... try some Headblade Matte Lotion like Bobster suggested or even apply some baby powder if you really want to reduce the shine.
IMO... shine is great. Nothing like a super, shiny, chrome dome. Do what you want but since you asked about ideas... I say stay away from the makeup.

Welcome and best compliments!!! You look GREAT!! O0
Go for the chin strap, it will suits you well in my opinion, and if you don't like it you can always go back to clean shaven.

Thanks! I've never dealt with the shine of a bald head before so I had no idea something like Matte Lotion existed. Time to read up on this forum since I am forever Sly. O:O

Welcome to theclub, sd.

Welcome, stiffdog!
I'm new to being sly as well and you'll find plenty of info here.

U r a natural. Looks great. Keep it up.

Welcome aboard! Enjoy the freedom of no hair!

Gotta agree ... you are a natural. Don't hide it with a hat.
-
Welcome! The look suits you well. As for matte versus shine, the shine comes naturally because of skin oils. Don't try to cover it with makeup because that will look odd.
-
I used to hide under a hat all the time. Now, I will wear a hat mayyyyyyyyybe once every 4-5 months, and that is pushing it.
Lose the hats, and embrace the baldness.
And welcome!
-
make sure that you wear a hat in the heat of the Summer!
-
Thanks. I've realized that I want to dress 'nicer' since going sly.
-
Let it shine.
-
Looks really good.

Welcome and congrats.

This isn't uncommon - a well-dressed sly guy exudes confidence and stands out in any crowd! You also might find you want to wear darker colors because they contrast with your bald head.
-
Welcome to the bald brotherhood stiffdogg. You wear bald really well. Play around with your facial hair and see what you feel will look best on you.
-
Nice move, bald looks great on you.
-
The look really suits you I have to say.
The stubble suits you too, perhaps a really close clipped full beard?
-
Now there's a man who can pull of the sly look with style.
Keep up the good work.
After shaving my head, a month or so later, I decided to add a beard....

Oh how true! O0

Dude, it looks great. I don't think you need to do anything to the facial hair. Looks slick as it is

I think you look amazing, very handsome. My personal opinion is I love the shine. I have tried the matte lotion and it works pretty well, if thats what you want.
-
Thanks everyone.
I seem to be able to go out in public without a hat, because I really don't care about what people think of me when they don't know me.
But I am still having trouble going to work without a hat... I do work around a lot of cute women (older and younger). Now, I know I shouldn't care about their comments or judgments about my hair or lack of, but bald jokes really do hurt especially only being 24....
Thinking of some witty comments to throw their way.... :*))
-
You've got nothing to be embarrassed about - regardless of age. It's a great look for you; you should 'own it' and show it off.
-
I fully agree with you. I just can't seem to get that through my thick skull.
I did go golfing this weekend with no hat. I now know the importance of a good SPF blocker for that noggin.
-
Great look! You look a lot like Jason Statham!
-
Looks great. I remember when i first shaved i went right out with no hat as i liked the look and that is what matters. 8)
-
I think you should go to work with no hat! I'll bet you will get lots of positive looks from the cute girls. In my experience, I get people who acknowledge me with a smile from both men and women. Give it a try :@`
-
Now ... If I was only 24 once again with your good looks ... I'd proudly swag my bald head at work and on the streets ... you really rock it with a sense for fashion as well as the sly, sexy look !
