Title: Finally Did It!
Post by: Southworth14 on April 12, 2008, 12:02:47 PM

After years of waiting and going shorter and shorter, I went to the barber yesterday and said do it!  I noticed when I got home that there was a sandpaper feeling even though he used a straight edge.  So, I got out the Mach III and shaved again and used the BaldGuyz Moisturizer when I was done.  It looks great and I wish I would have gone bald 10 years ago.  I have been MPB for so long.  When my hair started turning gray, it was time to go.  If you are "on the fence" just do it.

Welcome to SBG.
Your wish echoes through many postings on this site "I wish I would have gone bald 10 years ago"

So I went to the office yesterday and people looked at me.  Most said nothing.  One of the ladies asked if I was growing a mustache.  I told her that I had one since I was 22 and no, it was not new.  Most people didn't figure it out, but more that a few said that I looked younger and "refreshed".  Now after three days a halo is beginning to form, so I best get out the Mach III and get skin tight again fast.

Way to go! O0

Every time I have had my face shaved with a straight razor it seemed to grow back faster than normal.

I still want to go to a barber and get my dome scraped with the straight razor. I am holding out to go to one of those leather chairs, serve you a 15 y.o. scotch type of man-salons though.

Southworth, glad to hear you are digging the new smooth you, and welcome to the world of "slydom".
It's a great feeling isn't it?, finally letting go of what little you have and setting yourself free.

You've experienced the same thing that many of us have here, and almost all have said the same thing: "why didn't I do this sooner?".
Enjoy your new found freedom!   O0

Southworth,

Now that you have joined the Sly Asylum, you need to post a pic of the sly dome!  Also, you ought to put a "before" and "after" picture in our gallery!  Again, welcome!
