Title: Finding my way around
Post by: mr_saving on December 23, 2012, 09:43:30 PM
Hello! I'm Jeremy and just recently started shaving my head. It kinda started out as a challenge on facebook, and once I shaved it...I decided I liked it and I've kept it shaved since. Getting close to a month now I'd say. So on that note, I'm excited to be here and looking forward to learning quite a few tips.

G'day Jeremy, welcome to the family mate!

I'm glad that you like the sly look. What made you take the challenge, are you balding or are you bald by choice (BBC)?

Thanks for the warm welcome! So, here is the story with the facebook challenge thing. I was visiting a couple friends of mine and one of them shaves his head by choice and the other one is getting a little thin on top, but I don't think it's as bad as he thinks. So, we are all hanging out and some how we got talking about shaving heads, etc... One of them suggested I should shave my head because I was complaining that I was bored with my hair style. (I'm not thinning or balding) So, since I'm a pretty spontaneous person I said I will make a post on Facebook that if I get 50 likes on this status, I'll shave my head bald. Well, with 500+ friends it didn't take long to hit 50 likes and so we got out the trimmers and buzzed my head, and then shaved it. I actually took pics before and after lol!

This is before

This is pretty much after we were done

By looking at the dates I uploaded those pics to facebook, I shaved my head on 11/29.

Whew...Sorry for the short story!   ;D

Welcome to the bald brotherhood Jeremy. You look great. The bald, bearded and pierced look suits you really well/

Thanks! I'm glad to be here! I have been getting pretty much the same compliments from friends and family that you just gave me. A few people were taken by surprise and said they didn't like it, but as they have seen me over the last few weeks. It is growing on them.

Welcome Jeremy.

Looks great ... you're fortunate the challenge brought you to the Sly side earlier than you might otherwise have considered.

Enjoy the experience and being part of the Sly community here.

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys, Jeremy.  Bald, bearded and gauged is my favorite look.

Tell me about your tunnels.  1/2 to 9/16 I'd guess, maybe larger?

Right now I'm at 5/8, I haven't decided if I'll be stretching bigger or not. I always said I'd stop after 00 but you see how well that worked out. Haha

I'm at 00 and holding.  Your look, as a bald guy, is much more edgy than when you had hair.  Well done.

Any story is a good story  O0

It always amazes me the difference between the before and after photos! I really like the sly look on you, it's good to know you have options to go back to if you ever get bored of being sly, but how could you really? haha. Some of us aren't too lucky in that department, but I'd never go back now if I had the chance.

Welcome Jeremy, it's definitely a great look for you, I'm a big fan of gauged ears. For some resin I can easily cover myself in tattoos but I still haven't got round to get pierced, you might just convince me.
