Hi!

Some of you might know me from my other topic in "to be or not to be..." . So here I am. I went sly the first time in my life last friday. because i badly nicked myself while shaving, i couldn't shave for the weekend. But I think bald is my new look.

Dude,,,

good choice, you look great bald....

Bald is you bro!

Wait till you shave it clean because it's you now...

the feeling is one that can only be experienced by a guy that shaves it all off clean!

Welcome to the slyside of your new life!

Welcome.  Just remember, proper prep and a good blade everytime and you'll avoid those nasty nicks.

Bravo!  A new name is in order:  Zeromm!  Looks great.  And, it gets easier, and much less bloody.  Hang in there -- practice makes perfect(ly) smooth.

Thanks!

Not many people have seen me with my bald head. So i'm still afraid of their reaction (especially my parents and grandmas).

Still deciding how to shave the next time... electric razor (braun etc) or fusion.

It takes much longer to shave with an electric razor.  I'd suggest sticking with the Fusion.

Don't be surprised if you get some flack from the family, but don't let that dissuade you.  You look great!

MM, The look is awsome.  And yes, you will get some flack from those closest to you.  I think it is the initial shock.  In time they will come around and embrace the new you.  Hang in there.

Looks great 1mm.  Stick with it, those close to you will come around, believe me they will.  It's when you go back and forth between hair and sly that you really get the negative comments.  At least that's been true in my case.

I think that's a huge one...

keeping it smooth on a daily basis gives you and them a chance to see how completely bald is a great look..

and the look that is perfect for ya!

Absolutely bro.  My wife, who really doesn't like the sly look at all as you know, finally said "would you just decide what you're gonna do and stick with it?"  Her words slapped me upside the bald head.  She was right, of course.  I was trying to "people please" and wasn't pleasing anyone, including myself.  Now that I've stuck with it, things are MUCH better.  She even buys my blades and HeadSlick now.  Cool, eh?

1mm:  Your grandmas are going to wonder what happened to their darling grandson with the head of hair, and they'll hang onto that picture for awhile. 

Meantime, remember you shaved for you, it's your head, and it's your decision.  Give 'em their hugs and kisses, a huge smile, and ask 'em if they want to rub it.   O0

This is a great new look for you.  Don't waver in the first month -- stick with it, be consistent, and it will become the new you.

Hmm. Remember the 30 day rule dude! You need to give it 30 days. And if you do manage to nick yourself, just take extra care round that area till it heals. Go for it. You aint doin yourself any favours lurking.

Welcome to you, 1mm. Sorry it's late I'm playing catch-up.

I think you should just go with how you feel and what you want. As the bro's have said, people will get used to it.

Enjoy the forum.
