Hi damien,

No need to photoshop it. I can see that you'll rock a sly dome just fine  O0

If you really want to see what you'll look like though, there's a site that will do it for you here : http://headshave.baldlygo.com/Virtual_HeadShave.htm

Just do it, as they say. You'll look fine.

In the extremely unlikely event that you don't like it (and I say extremely unlikely) it grows back much more quickly than you'd think. That's why most of us have to shave every day.

Afterwards, I'm willing to bet that you'll just wonder why you waited so long.

damian, you just gotta do it, bro. It's the only way to find out, and like the bootedbear said, it will grow back quicker than you think.
My guess is that you'll love it, and say " why didn't I do this sooner"!.

damian.....1st of all welcome 2 the sly brotherhood.  glad that ya found us.  i'm giving u some brotherly-advice that u should put a quality razor (fusion, mach3, headblade) on your noggin' & get it smooth.  in other words.... "do the deed"!  u will rock the look. O0 

don't worry about looking "dumb".... u will look even dumber with the thinning, balding hair compared 2 the slick, smooth dome.  b  smart & keep it smooth. O0  anyways..... keep us posted 2 your road 2 slyness. O0

Dude I agree with the others, your hair is already pretty short, so going SLY isn't that far off. Give it what seems to be our standerd 30 day trial. I think the Sly look will look fine on you, nothing to worry about.
Oh and before I forget Welcome to the SBG family.

I'd always wondered what I would look like SLY but was afraid to take the plunge. So, I did it as a fund raiser. I was a little nervous, but it was nice that the decision was made for me by having met the donation goal....

Now I am thinking what was I so worried about? It looks good (IMHO :*)) ) and it is fairly easy to maintain.

Go for it. I doubt that you will regret it.

Damian, I echo what bootedbear stated.  If you really need to, check out the link that ShySlyGuy posted up, but I think you can rock the shaved look for sure!  Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

OK, no excuses now -- as BaldAndre said, you're obligated to do your part now.  The photoshopped pic looks great and the real thing will too.  It's always a leap of faith, but one well worth taking as every guy here will surely tell you.

Good job Andre.  As everyone has said, Damien 'looks' great with his newly shaved head.  Now it's time to see the real thing.  Go for it Damien; you won't regret it.

First Damien, welcome aboard.  Great to have you with us.  Secondly, that's a great look Andre gave you.  There is absolutely nothing for it but to go shave that melon RIGHT NOW!!!   Looks awesome slick.

I think you already know that the bald look will be great for you.  Obiviously since you are back the bald bug has biten and only one way to take care of that, grab the razor and scrape your head clean!
