Title: I'm now ALMOST Sly!
Post by: nicolaus on May 14, 2014, 03:22:15 PM
Hey guys,

I posted in the following thread that I planed to shave my head on the first day of the coming summer vacation.

http://www2.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=24574.0

I couldn't wait more! Day before yesterday I went to the barbershop and ordered a buzzcut with the shortest guard. I'm still not a real Sly, but now almost.

How nice is to feel the fresh air on my head skin again! The reaction from my colleagues and friends was generally good. "You look very good with this style!" "It suits you!" "Cool!" etc...  There was nobody who commented negatively at least. There were also many people who commented nothing. I don't know how such a people thought about my new style, but it's OK. Now I'm very very very confident of this style, and I'm 100 % sure that it was a correct decision  :)

Keep it real short for a few weeks to develop some head skin color and you'll be ready for a shave.

The only difference is the feel and a shadow.

You'll like the feel.

I echo my fellow sly guys by saying it looks great!  Going along with what mrzed said, it's an awesome feeling!  I look forward every morning jumping in the shower and shaving my head because of that feel.  The bald head also goes great with my professional dress attire and I'm sure you'll experience the same thing nicolaus.

Looks good on you.  Once you try it with a blade, you will love the smooth feeling.

Hey guys,

thank you for a lot of congratulations! With this new hair style I feel as if I were reborn.

Today is the fourth day with this real short buzz cut, and today I cut it in 1 mm with my own clipper, because it's already grown up last 3 days obviously. I'm enjoying the fresh cut feeling again....My goal was a smooth bald head, I'm now not afraid to shave it completely at all, and will try it surely soon, but I'll now keep this length only for a while. To tell the truth I love now this "sand paper" feeling very very very much!

Hey Bizarro, I tried to send you a message personally just now, but couldn't do it because your inbox is full. Could you remove a couple of message in your inbox?

Title: I was almost Sly, but I'm now REALLY Sly!!
Post by: nicolaus on May 23, 2014, 06:34:26 PM
About 10 days ago I reported that I had all of my hairs cut at the barbershop in 1 mm. Today I shaved them completely bald. I liked the feeling of buzz cut very much, but I cannot compare the feeling of a really bald head with it. It's awesome! Since 15 years I've wanted to have this hairstyle, and achieved it finally...!!! All the time after the shaving I stroke my shining chrome dome. Thank you very very very much for your supporting until today. Here are two photos of me: buzz cut in 1mm and completely bald head. The hairs are shortened only 1mm, but it looks totally different, doesn't it?

Congratulations! It looks awesome. You were already pretty close to being bald, but the razor just makes it so much better. Smooth is really the way to go for you! I'm glad you were finally able to do it after wanting it for so long.

Nicolaus, wow!  Bravo!  You look absolutely fantastic!  Glad to hear you're enjoying being smooth.

Nicolaus, you look great man! Bald really suits you.  Congrats on becoming completely sly!  There's nothing like a freshly shaved head and you're realizing that. Are you going to do the 30 day challenge?
Title: Re: I'm now ALMOST Sly!

Completely shaved - much better. You look great!

Nicolaus, note the date in your diary or wherever you keep records. May 23rd. 

The shaved head looks so much cleaner than the 1mm fuzz. 

30 day rule. although I don't think you'll have any issues with keeping your head shaved smooth!

I agree with you, it's really nice to rub a smooth head.  First week I could hardly keep my hands off my head!  Just savoring the new feel.

I still find myself rubbing my head frequently.  I still like the smooth feeling several years later.  Also nice when my wife rubs my head.

Hello guys, thank you for your comments. I shaved my head today the second time and I'm now completely smooth again  ;) The scalp burns partly a little bit. Because my hairs are very thick and hard, I push the shaver on the scalp too much. And my scalp is still sensitive. Hopefully it'll become harder while I'm often shaving it.

Take you time. Lather up well. No pressure on the blade. It may take more that 2 or 3 passes! Never shave unless you have soap / shaving cream on your head
