So Ive been sly for 30 days now. Loving it!
But I noticed somethig odd now... If I dont shave first thing in the morning my dome actually feels dirty. Last Saturday I wasnt going to shave, but by mid afternoon it was just driving me to crazy and I had to go shave.
I think part of it has to do with the fact that Ive always had to deal with a dry scalp before going sly and so maybe that part of it.
Anyone else have that problem.... The "I must shave today" problem?
-
I think a lot of guys get that feeling when they first start shaving their head...and for many it never goes away.
-
I have that problem. I love for my head to feel all clean after getting out of the shower.
-
Absolutely! If I don't shave, I don't feel completely clean!
-
Im barely still within my first 30 days....and I still feel that. I have a feeling like Tyler said...it will never go away.
I'm actually intentionally not shaving for a few days now because I made a STUPID mistake with my razor and cut myself pretty good in the back of the head. Got an unsightly red mark back there I'm trying to let heal. I've never gone more than one night without shaving.. and I'm going on 2 now... I feel super dirty....

I wouldn't call it a problem ... ^-^

I have a similar feeling when I wake up. If I don't shave every morning I don't feel right anymore. For me, though, it's less about feeling dirty than having an annoying amount of stubble. I really don't like the stubbly feel; it has to be clean smooth for me. Fortunately shaving has just become part of my normal routine.
-
Nothing wrong with it at all....I'm trying to stop being lazy and shave more often myself.
-
Yep. I really do not like the sandpaper feeling. That is one reason I often shave twice a day.
I think I have skipped shaving maybe six times since I went smooth.
-
Yup, I'm the same way. I keep telling myself I'm not going to shave tomorrow because it gets a closer shave skipping a day, but by 7am the next morning, I'm shaving it off. Just hate the Velcro feel, love it smooth.

Glad that you are loving it. We hope that you can become an active member on SBGs.

Yep, once you get used to a sly head, it's hard to go back.
I can only go about 1 day of missed shave before my brain is begging me to have another shave.
-
I usually shave in the evening right after I shower so, if I'm exceptionally tired, I might skip a day. But I prefer not to.
-
I think most of us have the "problem" of wanting to be as smooth as possible every day.
-
Hey Ksshane,
I can't say that I've had that problem, although I can't go for more than 2 days without shaving/buzzing... sometimes if I wake up late (say having gone out the night before) and am exhausted, I either just skip it or buzz it with a razor...
I think it's fine to alternate between buzzing and shaving, depending on your mood. Can't say how i'd deal with it if I had a dry scalp though :P
Would some of those BeeBald products help reduce the (mental) irritation?
-
Wow. wasnt expecting that many replies.
Really, really enjoying the sly look and feel. Been wearing a ball cap for 20 years now, so I'm getting a few odd looks. But who cares. Im loving it.
Big thanks to the Sly community O0

I often don't shave on a Sunday, feels different, but I get a super close shave on a Monday, which feels great
-
I can see why you are enjoying the shaved head, ksshane. You have a great shaped head, and that and the great looking beard and glasses put your style over the top. I hope you enjoy being bald as much as I do!

OK, what is going on here! I've been wanting to get my 1st barbershop headshave. My GF is gone on a family vacation, so I thought I would not shave my head for 3 or 4 days, and go to the barber for a shave. Planning on not shaving today, but before church, I had the Velcro going, and shaved. I just hate seeing that white stubble, as someone once said "it looks like you wet your head and dipped it in sugar". Figured it would be a waste to have the barber shave one days growth, but can't seem to stop shaving for a few days. Guess it's officially an obsession.
-
Well, i shave every other day and i do hate to wait any longer! Only shave that way as it is good for my skin. You guys on here have helped me so much since i joined this great place! Cheers
-
So this is my first post on here BUT I am a long time lurker. Still not sure what Sly is but I love being bald. I have made shaving my head a daily routine and can't stand the way it feels when it's not smooth. It's a way of life for me now and I almost don't feel comfortable without trimming my beard then making my head nice and smooth. I agree with the OP in the regard that I almost feel dirty lol.

;D Hadnt heard that one. Mine must look like its dipped in salt and pepper then.

New joiner here. Been shaving my head with an electric razor every week or so. Some nasty moles on my head slowed the rate at which I could get "sly" (love the term). Moles no removed, bought a headblade and wanting to go to the next level.
Had some issues with spots (pimples) so still getting into a swing. Look forward to trawling the boards to steal some tips. Everyone seems so friendly, so can't wait to get started,
-
I had a mole on my head and had it removed as i was cutting it all the time! So much better now!
Try Bump Patrol after shaving.

ksshane,
You look awesome. Love the chrome dome and the great looking groomed beard. they look great together. SO glad that You are liking being sly.
-
I have been going totally shaved for 4 months now. It was the best decision I made to not look like I had stubles growing out of my head. I get a lot of compliments.
