Well I did it! I had wanted to shave my head for a while, and today I did it. It feels great. The look has to grow on me. And tomorrow when I go to work will be the big test; really anxious about the reactions I'll get. But I'm committed to staying sly for at least 30 days!
-
Looks good bro, fits you! Let us know the reactions you get at work.
-
Oh man! You look fantastic. I knew you would look good bald. If I were you, I would be looking forward to going to work tomorrow to show off your great looking new style. How do you like the feeling of a shaved head? Did you use the fusion? Good luck, I can't wait to hear about the reactions.
-
Thanks DOC_OSMC!
Reddog, thank you as well. I used the Fusion along with Head Slick, in the shower. No problems at all. Took me a while to get it all, but there were no nicks and no irritation. Couldn't have gone better!
-
Glad it went well!! It looks great.
-
Congratulations, it looks good. Expect a few negative reactions, but don't let them get you down.
-
Bravo! Looks fantastic. Enjoy the next 30 days...and probably longer, I suspect.
-
Looks great! Don't worry, as the days go by, it will be a non-issue for others! Enjoy your new look...and freedom!
-
looks great!!!
-
wow, have you seen your photo? Do you see how happy you look?
-
Well done. I'm jealous.
-
Slyness suits you well
-
I've been at work about 3 hours now, and so far nothing but positive reactions! The only somewhat negative comment I've received is that my head needs some sun, which is absolutely true! But I think overall most people like it. It's definitely a shock, even to me, so it will take time to sink in. But I'm happy with the reactions so far!
-
Glad it went well, you look amazing!
-
You look GREAT - -and with the facial hair - - - it really accentuates your shaved baldness
What did people think at work?
-
A natural and the beard adds to the total package. No wonder you look so pleased.

Well done. I'm jealous.
LP - you have nothing to be jealous about. You looked just a good - and HAPPY - as he does when you went sly!

It's been 3 days and I'm still loving my shaved head. I wish I could speed up the darkening of my scalp but that's my only concern so I really can't complain! Thanks to all of you for the encouragement!
-
Your scalp will likely get some color in a week or so, depending on how quickly your skin tans. Some guys have used self tanning lotions to help, but don't try to speedup the tanning with overexposure to sunlight. You will get a burn very quickly on sensitive newly shaved skin.
-
There's a nice Jergens moisturizer with some self-tanner that I still use that helped me quite a bit. But you will naturally even out eventually, as long as you keep it smooth, that is.
-
I'm on my 4th day of being sly. Still liking it, although I'm still not used to the reflection looking back at me in the mirror. Also still need some color on my scalp. As many of you suggested, I went and got some Jergens Natural Glow so we will see if that works.

Looking good, and I've been sly for 2 years and I'm still not used to that image in the mirror.
-
Did you shape up the beard? It looks great with the shaved head!
-
Looking great.
Roger
-
Yes, this is all really working for you, from bald head to beard. Good stuff.
-
I agree with everyone else. You look great with the shaved scalp and the beard. I'll bet that you keep the new look beyond 30 days.
-
I concur with everyone else by saying it looks great! It definitely suits you.
-
Yeah I really like trimmed beards; even on non-sly guys. (I know, I am in the minority here).
I wish that my beard still had color like yours - it looks so good with your shaved head and the the color of your shadow.
-
Thanks to all of you for the compliments. Overally I'm really liking the new look and feel. I still have moments of self-doubt where I feel like everyone is staring at me and laughing inside, but I think those will pass with time.
Sir Harry, I trimmed the beard a bit. I think it was a little too long before to mesh with the bald head.
-
Looks good, sir! Congratulations.
-
Looks really good. No reason to have moments of self-doubts. If people are staring at you they are just jealous of your shaved head :)
