Hello from Puerto Rico
« on: February 05, 2010, 09:04:41 PM »
Hi guys. I'm 29 years old and I've been losing my hair since I was 21. Finally had enough and decided to shave 30 minutes ago. Wanted to say a couple of things.

I had no real plans of going sly until I came across this place. I had been contemplating it for a while and knew that eventually I would end up doing it. When I met people with their head shaved I would ask them a question or two (like how often did they shave, what razors they used, etc).

You see, back when I started losing my hair I tried Rog... and even though it worked, I would get an allergic reaction and also got shivers. I stopped using it after a little while.

Then the doctor recommended Prop..., and the thought of taking a pill for the rest of my life in exchange for having hair (and also the impotence issue) was enough for me to say no thanks.

A couple of months ago I went to a consult for a hair transplant. I'm glad I didn't go that way. Mainly because he said I'd have to take Prop. after the operation or I would end up losing what little hair I had left.

Finally, I want to say that IMHO the sly look is not for everyone. I've seen pictures of some guys and I feel that the look doesn't fit them. I see others and feel the opposite.

With that being said, I would like to ask for your sincere opinion regarding my new look. I promise I won't get offended :)

Thanks again guys for inspiring me to shave my head. I have a million questions, but all in due time. Look forward to playing golf tomorrow without a hat so I can get a nice tan (plenty of sunscreen of course).

Hey Gimme

Welcome

The look is cool and no more pills and allergic reactions

The only shivers will be the women on the golf course

Good Luck and use that sunscreen

Hi Gimme,

it looks really good on you.

I've just passed the 30 days, and I think I will keep it for a while.
What do you think?

Greats
