LOL... It kinda snuck up on me... I had a little bit of lettuce in the front obscuring the vast expanse of bald at the top!

I was only able to do a clipper no guard tonite.    I don't have a razor blade worth a sh*t in the house and didn't want to carve up my melon.

It's still hard to tell what I'll look like.   

I'm 100% hetro but I must say, bunch of handsome bastards on this site

I feel like I'll be the one guy who looks like a complete jackass, but I figure I'll give it a shot... seems like the doubt is normal.

Welcome Bill.  You've already taken a huge step by taking it down with clippers.  Good work.
The fear to go to the razor is perfectly normal.  Do it and you'll like it!

My wife said she likes it like this... I was so busy today I haven't had time to get out and pick up a decent razor.

Looks like I'll only be half sly for awhile.    Can I still come hang out?

Welcome to the Wonderful world of slyness! I applaud the holding off 'til you could get a good razor - carving up your noggin on your first try could definitely turn you off to the joy the rest of us already know! The Mach 3 would be a great first choice - I used one for years! Also, the 4 blade razors. I can't add an endorsement for the Headblade like a lot of the other guys here, my experiences with it have not been pleasant. Post a pic when you can!

I don't know... I shaved last night.   On the balance,  I don't know if I look any better.   I look like crap either way, so I guess it doesnt matter.  ;D
Title: Re: Hey everyone, new guy here...
Post by: Timmay on September 23, 2008, 02:26:06 PM
well if you think you look like crap either way....I think you should look like crap without it....that way you wont stand out so much amongst us all when we gather for the next convention....maybe.

dude, you look great with a bald head.
don't even worry. you've got light hair so the shadow will barely be noticeable. keep it shaved, my man.
you've just gotta get used to seeing yourself like that. you're going to get looks from the ladies.
keep that goatee trimmed up nice and neat, too.

I understand that statement!  You can recognize that someone is handsome without wanting them in a romantic way.  I have a couple of best friends that were severely MPB and they went sly.  I think they are very handsome looking as sly guys.  But I certainly don't want them (or any man) as a signifigant other!  But you can appreciate quality!

Don't be so hard on yourself; it really does look good.  It just takes a little while to get used to the change.  In a few weeks, you'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner.

Post by: Rafter on September 25, 2008, 10:27:14 AM
You'll adjust to the hair-free you. Give it a few days.

Bill, you're your worst critic. Do you wear glasses? If you do, I'd say you better put them on, 'cause you don't look like crap. Hold that head up high. You ROCK SLY so don't even give it a second thought.

njbill...I hear you bud. Been a week for me too, and I just think the color takes a while to blend a bit. Well, that's my issue anyway.
As far as you, not sure why you sound bummed, looks good to me. You're rocking the sly style for sure.

Hey njbill, don't sweat it bro, it looks good.

Two things you gotta remember; give it the 30 days like Andre said. This will help you get used to shaving and seeing your newly smooth dome.

Make sure you wear some sunscreen if you're going to be out in the sun for any length of time. If you can't shave, you can't get to hone your technique.

Good luck and keep it smooth!     O0
