Title: Introduction from a newly bald guy.
Post by: Haz_pro on March 29, 2013, 03:32:35 AM: Hello everyone,

My name is Harry and I am a 22 year old from Surrey, England.

From 10 to around 14 I always had my hair buzzed to a number 3.

I noticed at around 15 that my hairline had begun to retreat and this have me some confidence issues. As a result of this had some fairly long hair cuts down to fairly short cuts from around 20 onwards, but never bald.

A couple of days ago I decided to buzz my hair with my clippers using no guard. This was a spur of the moment thing but I liked the look. A day later and I had the bug to razor shave my head for the first time, so here I am, bald.

I am not here to look for confidence as I am quite comfortable with my not so perfect hairline. I am here however just to talk with like minded individuals as I know no one with a shaved head.

I will get a picture or up soon when I have access to a decent camera.

Before I end this post I do have one (possibly stupid) question. What is being sly bald, in contrast to just bald? I read a post earlier where a bloke said he was in line with a load of bald guys, then someone asked if they were sly bald or not. This confused me.

Thanks all, I look forward to taking to you all.

Harry

P. S. Apologies for any spelling issues, I am on my phone.

Most of the guys on this site really enjoy being bald. Look for those with more than a few posts.

Please make yourself at home here at Sly Bald Guys and post frequently.

I think that Sir Harry's comment about Sly Bald means, "Did they completely shave their head?" i.e. some guys are bald in the center, but keep their other hair. While a Sly Bald guy shaves everything above the neck/ears (may keep the beard), but no hair on top. Whatever might still be there by nature, shave it off.

Post by: Haz_pro on March 30, 2013, 06:53:37 AM: Thank you for all the replies, and I now understand sly vs not sly bald. :)

As promised here are some photos... (Please excuse the mess, the birth of my daughter in February has made things manic.)

I went a bit crazy with the razor this morning and so my head is looking a bit worse for wear then the last 2 days. I was trying to get rid of as much as the shadow as possible but I failed miserably haha.

Will aim to hone my head shaving skills in the next few weeks. I have to pop out to a party in the next 10 or so minutes and I am sitting here with tissue on my head!

Post by: mrzed on March 30, 2013, 01:24:45 PM: Nice bald head. Looks really comfortable. Complements the beard!

You look like the dad of a daughter! I have three daughters! (of course, they are adults now). No, they did not drive me to shave my head. I did not even ask their permission. They got used to it quickly. You're going to like this new haircut.

Post by: Sir Harry on March 31, 2013, 02:19:04 AM: Looks great! As for the shadow, don't sweat it; in time a tan will take care of that....Sadly, shadow is something 98% of us bald guys have to live with. Oh, congratulations on the arrival of your daughter, BTW!
