I'd say whatever makes you most confidence. Though, if you have an itch, scratch it.
-
good pix.

I say go sly again. O0

Now, you know how we're going to respond to that question! O:O

I kind of expected that response. Now i just have to work on the family, as i explained in the other thread, they complain about it litterally every time they see a change in my hair length.
-
I was chatting to a good friend at work during lunch an hour ago and showed him the picture of Sly me, he said that I look more professional with the slick dome :)
I will clipper it short and keep it that length and then go shorter, make sure I'll make sure I give my family the lay of the land.
-
I honestly can't see how the family can think there is such a huge difference between slick and your (barely) hairy pic. Either looks good IMO. Families... go figure! :/O In any case, glad to see you're back
-
Can i clear something up very quickly, my parents still complain even with my currently buzzed head. I dont understand how they can harp on about it so frequently. Dad is a bit of a hipocrit since he has an almost slick dome.
Its just the nagging that gets to me and the comments to their friends in front of me.
-
I vote sly.

Nice to see you back Out! I think the SLY does look more professional and I'm pretty sure you do dig the look so hopefully the fam will come around!

Outsider looks more professional in that SLY photo 'cause he's wearing a tie SLY.
In my honest opinion, either look is professional. Outsider, the only one you should be pleasing is yourself. Go SLY for a week and see if that's what you reallly want. It's only hair. And it will grow back to "clippered" in no time.

I think the solution to your problem lies in this comment.
they complain about it litterally every time they see a change in my hair length.....
.....so dont let there be a change in hair length. Keep it shaved all the time. Then they will become used to it. You are only drawing attention to your head by changing lengths
-
I think you look good either way.... though I don't know how you can resist a smoothly shaved head.
Do what you wnat my friend... it's YOUR life.........
-
You gotta do the right thing for YOU: nobody else. The fact you said you have a 'growing desire' to shave your head means that's what YOU want. Keep yourself sane, bro, and do what YOU want. O0
-
Outsider, IMO the sly look is a better look for you. I am not an advocate of the buzzed look. It's your head, so the decision is yours. The buzzed look does not look clean to me. Sort of, being in between decisions- should I shave or do I want hair? Which is it?
-
I would say without a doubt shave it smooth...bald looks great on you...but here's a suggestion...
I would not do the full goat for yourself...it's too heavy and makes you look REAL bald compared to what is on your face...I'd keep a stubbly beard (bout 3-4 days, no more)...your facial hair is too dense when grown out compared to your head....
or better yet just go for the fully shaved "mr. clean" action...your looks can handle it! O0
-
Dude, you rock the "SLY" look with the goat, go for that look again!
-
Like Tyler said, if you have an itch scratch it, or shave it. Whatever works.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the cool responses. While I was riding my motorbike afterwork last night I decided that i'm gonna have to "scratch that itch". The look i'm going to go for is Slick dome with a stubble beard, I might even give clean shaven a try just to see. So... in preparation for the slick dome I re-did my guardless clippering, so its pretty short this morning. I will probably shave it over the weekend when i "lay down the law" with my parents. hehe. I'm excited :) I wont have to worry about the head shadow as my head is already "tanned" (well freckled being a redhead).
I will post a few pics once done :)
On a side note.... I went to see Star Trek 11 at IMAX last night and let me tell you there are heaps of sly guys in that movie, not to mention the 5 that i saw in the audience with me. Great to see that the sly look is picking up.
PS. The movie was great, not a typical trekky film.

Awesome I really think keeping the beard stubble or actually shaved clean WILL help the bald thing with the folks...it's weird but I can see it..
good luck bro...bald suits you! O0

Looks great buzzed or slick.... but sly is definitely your look.

Hey guys,
Well this morning was meant to be the time to bring back the sly but I am sad to say that i chickened out. I dont know whats wrong with me, its not like my buzzed 0 haircut is far removed from slick bald. I am just really concerned my parents are gonna chuck a fit at me. As it is they bitch and moan about my current look, i fear this is going to be worse. For the record I am living with my parents at the moment.
I need a plan of attack, should i shave in the evening or in the morning the first time? On a weekend or weekday? Should it be with the grain or against the grain? i've not razor shaved my head in 5 months.
EDIT: I'm not as concered about what others think, its purely my parent's reaction that im concered with.
