Title: WOW, loving this.
Post by: NewShaver on October 26, 2007, 01:34:02 AM

Hi all. This was me, a week ago:
http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=3257.0

So, first week, how's it been?
Simply, AWESOME.
With the exception of one person, every reaction has been absolutely positive. I love how it feels, I love how it looks, etc. I have a girlfriend (who loves it,) but I don't think the random girls who come rub my head know that...  8)

Seriously, if you are reading this, wondering whether or not to do it: Just go do it, it'll grow back if you hate it. But you won't.

Thanks for the original encouragement, I love it.  ;D

Nice one NewShaver.

Oh, random note... AS one of my friends pointed out, I think I could pull off the Picard look, if I ever need a halloween costume:

How awesome would that be? ;)

Congratulations bro, it's fantastic that your first week sly was so positive.  But the positive result was never really in doubt.  >:D

Seems more ofetn than not...

THAT is what having a completely shaved head does for one's outlook on life..

it's pretty amazing, that such a simple thing can be so powerful! O0

Nice to hear it bro!

Glad to hear that you are liking it so much, because it would be a shame to cover that fine dome of yours with hair. 

It's amazing how far the sly movement has come.  When I was your age, it would have been instant social suicide to shave off all your hair.  Now it's not only accepted, it's encouraged.

Back to the actual topic  ;D, glad you're liking the sly so well... you did seem like you had the look for it and you went for it and now see how overjoyed you are?  I have to go back to PigPen's comment though - you're a perfect example of someone who is on the fence about shaving and then realizes "why did I wait so long?"  Hope you're enjoying the head rubs too man... they seem to never stop which is... GREAT!  :P O0
