Hey guys-
I lurked for a while now I've taken the plunge. Shaved my head completely for the first time last night. My Wife is on a 2 week vacation (without me) right now. I shaved now so I can get used to it before I hear from her.
Quick questions
- my head feels irritated - I'm assuming this is probably just bad shaving technique on my part - I'll just probably live it for a while - if I'm probably wrong about this let me know
- I want a bit of shine on my head (had short buzz before so skin colour not bad) without shining too much - suggestions?
Glad to join you men.

Welcome to the sly world SQ. Glad to have you aboard. The irritation could be from shaving techniques or sensitive skin. There are several products out there that will help with this. Check out the product reviews section for some great insight on different products. You can also check out the head shaving section for tips on geting a good clean shave. And yes there are products out there that give you a good shine on your head. I use Headblade Glossy Matte for mine and works well for me. Just keep looking around the board and you will get all the help you need to have a smooth comfortable shave and how to enjoy your Slyness.

You failed to tell us what method you use when shaving your head. Did you shave at the sink or in the shower? What kind of lube did you use, any pre-shave method, what kind of razor and what is your post shave method? Give us the details and we will be more than happy to help you along.
It is important that you do the 30 day trial run. Once you complete that, it will determine if you will go with it for the long haul or give up on it. With all the help you will get in here, I am sure you will find you own way that suits you best. Everyone is different , so you will have to keep that in mind. What I do and what the next person does may not work for me.
Hope you wife will enjoy the NEW YOU!
Welcome to the site bro, glad you found us.

WELCOME Baldie!
Scan around a bit lots of info in the various threads.
I am only 5 days into this myself so I don't yet feel to qualified to give advice.
I have offered a few "beginner" opinions though.
Hope you become a regular around here.
Really seems that a couple (at least) new people show up every day.

Welcome and check the head shaving section for info on shaving. Lots of good stuff there.

Welcome to SBG. And to add some shine to your head, run your head under cold water for a couple of minutes after every shave and apply Bald Guyz moisturizing gel. Works great for me, my head's like a mirror by the time I'm finished.

Thanks gentlemen;
Day 2 ,after reading up on "how to," went much better - the cold rinse trick in particular seemed to have really helped. The noggin looks clean -

Day 3 - reactions from others - I got my first head rub from a woman I hardly know - now that was a bonus I was not expecting!! Reactions have ranged from people not recognizing me - to very positive to a few cancer/skinhead comments - I took the advice of another Sly Guy and have stayed really positive with the negative comment folks, so far they have all stopped quickly
how do I like my new look - liking it a lot - I buzzed down for a few weeks before so got used to very little hair on me - now I see photos of myself with hair and have to do a bit of a double take

Welcome...the look is great...stick with it. O0

hey sq...welcome from another newbie here. shaved mine for the first time a few months back the first day of a cruise...my wife was nervous about how it would look, but she's always supportive and she does like it.
Is your wife supportive of this or will this be a BIG surprise to her?

Two sides to that one
Side One - I had really buzzed it down tight before she left - couple of days stubble look - at first she was not happy - but then she began calling my nearly bald head cute - and I woke up a couple of times at night with her giving it experimental rubs
Side Two - when I first buzzed my hair off I was a bit suprised by how it looked at that time she had me swear I would not shave my head -
I love the total baldy now - I'm hoping that her asking me to swear not to go bald was also just a reaction to me buzzing it off - if not I have a bit of a problem I love the baldy but I gave my wife my word - word has to come first - REALLY hoping that she gives a head rub and falls for it - if she liked the feel of the buzz how couldn't see like the baldie
