Title: Well, a month and a half later...
Post by: NewShaver on December 08, 2007, 02:34:45 AM
I'm convinced.
So, yeah, I'm shaving it every day, more or less, and am a huge fan. I got over the occasional knick in the beginning, now I don't even cut myself anymore, which is a nice little side benefit.

Reactions initially were just shock, which moved to general acceptance, with a few people VERY impressed. So far I have only had one person give me a neg reaction, but even that wasn't a negative, just a "Wow, you actually did it? Huh."

A couple of days ago, I was talking with a girl who had never seen me with hair, and for whatever reason, remarked that I needed to shave my head again. She replied that she couldn't even imagine me with hair. This got me thinking, and wow, I agree, even *I* think hair would look weird on me now. I'm just so used to it, I can't imagine anything else.

And yes, head rubs are awesome. :)

So, yeah, I'm very impressed. Only negatives are cold (solved by my beanie) and it hurts more to hit your head on something. Apart from that, it's awesome.



That's all. :)

You sure you arent another TimmJ?  Sounds like everything I went thru.  And Yes..waht is it about hitting your head now?  I never use to hit my head....now I bump it on everything.  I think my hair use to act as sensors...they would alert me to duck..bend, stoop or what ever to avoid hitting something.  I dont know how many times I have walked thru the furnace room ( yeah thats where I burn the dead bodies) and never hit my head on the duct work..but now I hit it all the time...like someone moved it or something. LOL

Awesome story, NewShaver.  It's great that you're having such a positive experience.  I haven't had to deal with hitting my head as much.  Seem like I was always hitting it before.  I think I'm just more careful now.  But, I do agree with you on the cold.  Finally got a hat I like to wear this week.  Still hate to cover up the dome, but at least for the times when I'm out in the cold, it'll have to do.

HEY TIMM, i just figured out why you keep bumping your head !  remember , they say the LESS hair ya have the more HEAD you get, WELL... your head is thicker than your hair so it IS taller than before , either that OR your heads gettin bigger because your brain is gettin BIGGER ?   nah , thats NOT IT !  (jus check yer spelen  :*)) )

Hey that's really WIERD :D  The bumping head thing happens to me all the time now.  Before i went sly it WAS like yer hair acts as sensors to stop yer head gettin too near things, but now I'm always doin it. :D :D

Yeah, newshaver: glad you're enjoying the SLY life.  Keep at it. bro O0
