I agree with Nomad. This is TOTALLY the wrong place to pose this question.   ;D

Seriously though, go for it. If you don't like it, it WILL grow back. Give it a good 30 days to see if the look suits you.

The answer to this question is always yes.  It's the only way to find out if you'd like it or not.  If you like it, you've got a great new look.  If not, it grows back quickly, and at least you've found out instead of always wondering.  Win-win situation.

If you're asking the question, that means you really do have to do the deed or you will probably never be satisfied and will always be asking yourself the question.."What if??"
SO, JUST DO IT.  It really will grow back if you don't like it and I'm about 99.999% sure that you'll love it. O0

Absolutely, you should shave.  The hair is not too styling, so I can understand your desire to shed it all.  The thing that I kept going over in my head was, 'what's the point of having hair if this is all I can do.'  I knew I wasn't fooling anyone, not that I tried.  It is very sad to see people who you know are trying to pretend the hair loss isn't happening.  And, there was no way I was going to waste my money on the 'so called' cures.  If there really was a cure, everybody would know it.  I definitely think you can pull the look off.  Before long, your frown will turn upside down once you realize what a great decision you have made.  Somehow I am not surprised at the lopsided vote totals.

I agree w/what the other bros have said, however, I think RazorX pegged the situation perfectly... go for it and you'll likely enjoy it and then if for some insane reason you don't, then you can always grow it back.  But, most of the guys on here who tried it, liked it, and have been SLYYYYYYYYYY ever since.

Bro,

That you're asking is a sure sign that you're seriously thinking about it.

Take the next step. Go to Walgreens, pick up a HeadBlade Sport, some triple blade refills, HeadSlick, and St. Ive's Apricot Scrub.

Then you'll be invested, and you can decide on the when.

;D I'm disappointed that the best we can do on the survey is 100%  ;D

OK, Pulling the trigger since you loaded the gun  :)
Looks like thin hair from the back is being pulled forward covering a great looking dome that is aching to get some sunlight!
Do it, don't think about it, do it and you show us how it actually looks. 10 bucks says if you keep it 30 days you won't go back. You can be a great addition to SBG, do it.
Oh, and in case there is any misunderstanding ..... DO IT  ;D

Robbie, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  I'd say the vote is unanimous!  Plus, we need another Rob/Robbie around here with a shaved head.

I'll second that!

Robbie....your features will do great with a shaved head, matey!!

You got a strong jaw, nice eye-brows, good skin tone.   And I believe the more receding the hairline, the better and more "seasoned" the noggin looks when ya shave.

Go for it!  You're obviously uncomfortable with the way it is now.  Give it a go, grow a goatee (or grow a goatee then give it a go).

It will be initially quite foreign....but if after 3-5 weeks ya can't stand it....it will always grow back, man.

And I'll "third" that.
Welcome, Robbie.
You could always start out with a tight buzz or baldfade if you want to take it down in stages. The Robs are here for you, bro.

Robs RULE!!!

Welcome... I'll agree with shy... take it down to a #1 or #2... get used to it and then dive in with the blade!  Give it 30 days after shaving it clean and then see what you think!

You should totally shave it.

At least buzz it down and see how you like it.

Post by: schro on October 16, 2007, 10:10:09 AM
Oh sh*t, not another Rob!!!

Seriously, give it a go. It sounds as if you're curious about it. Although, it'd be a dramatic change from your pics. Like BaldRob said, start with a #2 buzz cut and gradually work down to a #0. It won't seem as dramatic if you go that route.

However, maybe you want the dramatic effect. In that case,

SHAVE IT MAN!

Cheers,
Schro

if you are posing this question, you want to do it, but are having some second thoughts i'd imagine.   Just go for it, and try it for a month.   If you don't like it, hair grows back.

Definitely you should!!!  You will love it.

Post by: Rob on November 20, 2007, 07:52:57 AM
as another of the Sly Robs on this great forum, I have to 'fourth' it, or is it 'fifth it'? (I lost count!).  Go for it - shave it, see how you feel.  It really will make you wish you'd done it a long time ago.  Bet you won't go back to hair after you tried it either 8)

Rob, give yourself a try. Shave your head smooth... you will love it!
My hair was longer than yours and I shaved it and never regreted it. Got addicted to the sly look.
