Title: One Month Anniversary
Post by: JohnMont on August 20, 2007, 03:21:10 PM
Well, I made it (4 days to go, actually); but couldn't wait to mark the moment.  I still look like my avatar; was growing out the beard a bit; but decided to shave it down again. Really like the clean look and feeling; and my face is getting used to the regular shaving.  Funny; my head didn't need any getting used to.  i thought Maybe I was having beginners luck at first; but still no big nicks; no bumps; no irritation.   Guess its just because I've been following all the good advice of you guys.

Forever Sly,

John

John, congrats on your first month!
I remember when you were "fencing" and look at you now. Glad to hear you are sticking with the clean sly look; it suits you.
I used you as an inspiration when I finally did the deed.
Keep it sly and smooth! Here's to your next month.

What can I say, you're a natural baldy... it just took a bunch of us guys ganging up on you until we beat you into submission to make you realize it.  Like JDog said, your perfectly sly dome is a source of envy to those of us with shadow.  Congrats on 1 month!

John,

Congrats buddy!  It seems like you have been sly longer than a month now!  You are a natural for it.  I think you look good with and without facial hair.  But there is one look you haven't tried yet....sly with just a moustache.  But I am wondering what the wife is thinking about the clean face look since she liked the beard?

Hey Marshall.  Long time no see, brother!   Actually; I did do a stache for about 3 days before taking it all off.  My wife is getting used to it; to the head at least; she'd like to see some facial hair; though; so I probably WILL go back to beard or most likely goatee before too long.

John, I think the Clean look or goat, either one, are better than the mustache.

A mustache on its own really doesn't look good on anybody.  You never see a young guy with just a mustache anymore.  I'm not sure why it fell from favor, but it has.  I never used to have anything against them, but it's definitely not a look I like now, probably because I'm not used to seeing it anymore.

I had one for over 20 years till one day I decided to shave it off.  Almost 10 years ago.

The moustache does look odd these days.  I've never cared for the look, but I don't know why it's not real common anymore.

I think the soul patch is taking over as the facial hair look of choice for sly guys.

Hey Guys, yesterday was my first month of being slick and sly!  :@`  It's amazing that I feel like I have been doing this forever. It truly is an awesome feeling, and the experience has been great since the first day I finally took the leap.
I am a daily shaver and can't imagine going one day without. I really want to thank all of you who encouraged and gently prodded me off the fence. I think you guys are excellent and I look forward to reading the new posts for info and just bs'ing.
I can't imagine growing my hair back.
Will update pic soon with smooth dome.

Thanks again guys for all the encouragement, and sorry I took so long with the pics.
I took that with my cell so it's not the best shot.
I am glad to be part of such a positive group here. It's good to have so many to get input from and give your own to, and to also know you can get good advice on almost any subject.

PB, you had the same caesar type of comb forward with a hole in the back similar to mine? lol. Isn't this much better!   O0

shave the goat? are you crazy man. that would be like putting eyebrows on the mona lisa, or  or or hell it just wouldn't be right. i think i could grow my hair back easier than shave the goat. nope sorry bro gotta keep the trademark. kinda like sampson and his long hair. wow that thought scared me. don't ever bring that up again. ha ha ha ha

Ok, John, guess you miss the old facial hair huh?
I know what you mean. I had my goat for almost 20 years. I miss it too, and will probably bring it back when it cools down.
Post that new bearded slick pic!
