Hi. I finally took the plunge & shaved my head. I cut off the length with scissors then used hair clippers without the guard. I shaved it clean with shaving cream & a Mach 3 razor. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. No nicks or cuts. The only difficult part for me was in the back where the hair was real thick. I think it looks kinda badass. I'm just nervous what friends & family are going to say (as you can tell by the time of my post!).

WELCOME ABOARD JAYHAWK , Ive got an idea if you arent sure how itll go over you could take the hair you clipped off and lay it all over your pillow and then lay back down , when you reAWAKE you start screaming " my hair my hair , what the hell happened to my beautiful hair ?" WOULD THAT HELP ? no? O:O

Welcome, Jayhawk. What part of Kansas are you from. I take it from your name that you are a KU fan???
Hope ya stay around awhile. Don't worry too much about the reactions. Most of the anxiety is way overblown in our heads. At least that was my experience. I still was nervous but it didn't take long to figure out that nobody really cared that much about what I did with my own hair.

Welcome JayHawk!!! Your picture looks great. You certainly made the right choice.

Thanks guys. I am from Salina, right in the middle of the state. I am a huge KU fan. The Jayhawks are living large now. #3 in basketball and sure to be top 5 in football after the Orange Bowl win.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision! I shaved my head to look like a badass too. Toughen up my image. Glad you're here.

Welcome JHawk,
You R-O-C-K the Sly look.
No need to be apprehensive about family and friends. It's generally a non-issue.
So enjoy all the benfits of being a SLY brutha~
-ease of maintenance
-it's cooler O:O
-it looks tough and intimidating
-nothing for someone to grab in a fight
-high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor
Rodger, over and out!
-
dont care what others say they are jealous that you have the balls to go SLY
-
Congradulations, really great look. Family & friends will split on it, most probably okay. You'll be suprised how many people won't say anything. Welcome, enjoy.
-
It looks great. They'll get over it. Anytime there is a big change bad or good, you'll hear comments. Give it a few weeks they'll come around.
-
Jayhawk, it looks great man. You're a natural. Let us know the reactions you get.
-
Well I made it through my first day just fine. Only one douchebag made a smartass comment the rest were overwhelmingly positive. So that was a relief. I like the way it looks & I am here to stay. I just wish I would have done this years ago. I owe a big part of doing this to all the comments & posts I read on this site. You guys gave me the courage to do it and I really appreciate it. Now bring on all the women!

Jayhawk, I am wondering, are you also going bald? Or did you just shave it because it makes you look like a badass! There are many people who shave it because they just like the look. But it seems that the majority of guys, myself included, are also losing their hair. But the sly look does suit you!
-
I was going bald so that made the decision for me. I'm happy with the decision & wish I would have had the balls to do it years ago.

The balls were always there; you were just spending too much time looking at your balding head to notice. ;D

You've got speak with a single sly dude like Champ007. He's the expert night clubber. He'll give you a few sly pointers.
Us married gents have to steer clear from such joints. >:(
He should be checking in sometime soon.

What up Jayhawk? Welcome aboard!!! The look suits you - badass!!! Don't ya love being SLY? Congrats on the Orange Bowl W and it looks like your bball team is having yet another great season - wish I could say the same about my team (UK).
-
Thanks Scott. It is definitely a great time to be a Jayhawk. An Orange Bowl win and #3 in basketball. UK will be ok. Gillespie is a stud. Give him a few years to bring the talent in & you guys will be back. I am glad that I finally went sly!

O0 O0 Ahoy, Jayhawk. YOU LOOK GOOD AND REALLY SHARP.NO REGRETS. Professor Melon
-
Thanks for all the positive replies guys. I am really glad I found this board. I am at one week & don't plan on stopping. I am shaving every other day & every day on the weekend if I go out. It is not near as hard as I thought it was going to be.
-
Wow, missed this earlier.
Welcome Jayhawk. Glad you took the plunge so quickly, looks great man O0
-
It is not near as hard as I thought it was going to be.
And it only gets easier, or should I say it becomes a normal part of shaving.
