Been thinking about it for a long time. Too long in fact. Have lurked around here a little for a while and I thought to make it fun, I would grow my hair really long. I look like the Big Lebowski, so it's all coming off!

Welcome, Deputy Dawg! Looking forward to the pics!

So... I did it! I stood there looking in the mirror and thought about backing out, but stood firm. I pulled my hair back in a pony tail and then cut it off! Then I cut it short and thought, "Hey, that looks pretty good, I could leave it like that". NO, TAKE IT ALL! So I removed the attachment from the clippers, and went to work. When all that was left was stubble, I reached for the razor and finished up. I have never had really short hair or even no hair. My heart was racing.
It is done.
I join you all in being Sly!

Dawg, that's great.
But that's only the Introduction to the Story.
How do you feel without the burden of hair, and are you committed to the 30 Day Challenge?

I am committed to the 30 day challenge!
I admit to a little bit of shock today. Not bad "I wish I wouldn't have done it" shock, just "oh yeah, no more hair" shock. As seen in my earlier posts, I had pretty long hair. Woke up and went to run my fingers through my hair, whoops, it's gone. Saw a partial reflection in the window and at first thought someone was on the porch. Nope, it was me.
How do I feel? Awesome! Scalp feels kind weird, numb like. Razor sucks, tried 3 different kinds but still have little rough patches. Apparently the HeadBlade that many recommend is not sold in the entire city. I looked everywhere. Will just have to read more here about recommendations for razors, etc.
So far feedback among friends has been positive. Shocked, but positive.
-
In other words, it's all absolutely normal reactions.
It will take awhile until you are no longer surprised when you see yourself - and that's a great moment when you realize you've totally integrated the new look into your being.
I was out for a while tonight and saw dozens of guys with shaved heads - all looking great, all looked confident, and every last one of them was smiling or laughing. Amazing that shedding a few ounces of hair can lift such a burden.
I am really glad for you that you took charge. The best is yet to come. I hope you will post regularly of your continued experiences and the reactions of others. Posts like that are crucial to helping the "on the fence" crowd to make a move.

That looks REALLY Good! And the remaining beard is the proper accent. Very commanding look.
Good job. Welcome to the Sly look.
Ok. Head Blades are available at Walgreens. They stock the razor, blades and head slick. Not the other Head Blade products.
Give yourself some time on a smooth dome. You don't need super smooth the first few days, or week. After a week or two you head will get used to the shaving and you can get is smoother. That's the delight part. You'll be there in less than 30 days, but probably not in the first week.
You'll probably experience the .' Who's that guy in the reflection" for some time. Oh, that's me. Do I really look like that. Guess I do. Oh, that guy looks sharp. Oh, that's me.

No Walgreens here. But you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a CVS. ;D

Good one ;D Like I was told you might have to order one. Usually I call the place put it on a credit card and tell to rush. Hate waiting who knows I might vaporlock before it gets here. ;D

I thought that Walgreens builds across the street from every CVS and CVS builds across the street from every Walgreengs, Rite Aid, Rexall, and all other pharmacies of any name, brand or sort.

Still going strong and lovin every minute of it. Still mastering shaving my melon but it's getting better. Going to try ordering a Headblade and see how I like it. Open for suggestions if anyone has some. Head gets a little bumpy around the ears. A little itchy. Never had any bumps shaving my face so am not familiar with the different treatments or potions to use. Will read some more here on the forum and see if I can figure out a plan of attack.
-
Keep on going your gonna love the clean feeling.
-
Still sly and not missing the hair at all. Great reactions from friends and family. I have referred sly friends here so hopefully they will jump in and enjoy the camaraderie.
-
By my calculations, that's about six weeks of Slyness for you. No going back now!
-
Lookin slick man!
-
Holy cow that is a big improvement you look much better welcome to being sly
-
That takes balls to change your appearance that dramatically! It looks awesome.

Been about two and a half months i like the and still loving it! I use the Headblade ATX and like it much more than other razors I had used. I like the Head Lube as well. I just hate that I have to order it online. I may give up on the Headblade for that very reason. I would like to be able to grab it at the store instead of having it shipped to me. Sure, I don't mind shopping online for better deals like computer stuff or electronics. Still fighting with myself over that.
Shaving everyday, loving the smooth!

I know what you mean about ordering. Do you have a Walgreens close to where you live ? They sell Head Blade Products thank goodness.

* You get a 20% discount at HeadBlade.com if you link there through the ads here on SBG - ordering several items makes the shipping a bit easier to take. And with the mail order you'll get some $1 coupons.
* Walgreen's often has HeadSlick on sale (it is this week, in fact). The sale combined with a $1 coupon makes for a good deal. One bottle lasts me about six months. (Due to sales+coupons I have several years supply of HeadSlick.)
* I believe the ATX and (perhaps) the HB4 and HB6 blades will be getting into the retail stores in the spring.
* Personally, I don't care for the HeadBlade blades, so I use other brands which are available locally. I can't imagine giving up my HeadBlade razor ...

Nope, no Walgreens in my town.
I was looking for the list of blades that work for the ATX, thought I saw it here somewhere. Anybody got a link to it?

Do a search for "Sensor" and it will bring up a lot of topics.
