Tim from your avatar you look pretty damn close to what this guy has. I dont see any shadow on you.

I get stubble about 4-5 hours after I shave and full velcro head the next day. I do enjoy the ritual of headshaving though and I doubt I would ever have the balls to tweeze.

You are wrong... he made himselt totally bald by tweezing, otherwise he would
have a full head of hair.

Aside from the pain, remember that tweezing over an extended period of time will destroy your ability to ever have a full head of hair again.   Be sure that it's what you really want before you proceed.

just to give you an idea... I have been tweezing for almost 10 months,
at least twice a week: still have hair growing back, even if much more
sparse than it was.
Anyway the dark shadow is gone since the first complete tweezing.

Yeah; sounds a little time consuming to me.  I thought sly was supposed to be "low maintenance" ! !

Actually it's less time consuming than shaving, as you just have to do maintenance
tweezing once or twice a week... on the other hand you are not always perfectly
smooth as you need some hair lenght to tweeze out the hair.
Anyway the over all look is always BALD!

for guys like you who already lost hair in MPB shape tweezing would definitely
get you totally hairless on top for good in 1-2 twezings, then you would have
to do only the fringe maintenance tweezings.

On a different topic: you eventually tried the mr.Clean look over the weekend??
Any pic??

You do know that you don't tweeze it all out with a tweezers, don't you?  They use those devices made for pulling the hair out of women's legs.

Like what, wax strips or something like that?  Yeah, I guess I was ignorant to what ya'll were saying.  I really did think ya'll meant tweezers.  Ok, commence with all the laughter now.   ;D

Regardless of the tremendous pain and the risk of erratic hair growth in the future, In my quest for the shadow free sly look, I believe tweezing is an option.

Problem is that I dont have the cojones.

Sure would be nice not to have shadow though

I've heard that it's not too painful to tweeze out the hair on top -- it's the sides and back that are a real bitch to do.   You probably wouldn't mind the shadow on the sides and back if you could get rid of it on top.  Give it a try -- if you don't mind being one of us non-BBC baldies with the horseshoe shadow.   8)

Jdog...just like with the whole headshaving thing getting in your thoughts...this has for you and sounds like you really want the shadow gone....

you may end up doing it....Fransisco did, and it looks friggin' awesome, did you see the close up? Yea, the Thomas dude did have thinnin hair, but he did MAKE himself that clean....

You know, i have thought about it too...will i ever do it, who knows, but is sounds like something i could live with doing to myself...i want to be bald for the rest of my life...i've been this way for 13 years now...what I'm going to one day say...I want hair...

never!

Have some shots and go for it bro...i say START on the worst part...the sides...that way if you can't finish it, it'll just look like a killer bald fade...like our friend Rob6!

Later dog and good luck.....I know you're gonna try it! ;)

Andre as always I appreciate your good words. You are spot on.

I want to bald for the rest of my life. I dont ever want to have hair. But scalp tweezing is a serious committment and 5 or 10 years from now I dont want to NOT ever have at least the option to do it. But we shall see. Plus my wife just wouldnt allow it.

She has a wicked emjoi epilator which I have tried on the back of my neckline and it hurts REALLY bad even just a quarter inch space.

Having horrible shadow is something that still bothers me a lot even a year later but a lot of Sly guys who are BBC said that they have gotten used to it so maybe I will.
