New guy just went sly

• Hi guys, how is everyone? I've been lurking around the site for the past 6 months or so and there seems to be a lot of great people here. Well I'm a 26 year old newlywed who has been losing his hair since the age of 16. In my late teens I went with the beatles look to try and cover up my receding hairline. In my early 20's I knew it was time for a change and I went with a longish buzz cut and that worked well until recently when the front of my hair has started to thin. A couple of months ago I decided to shave my head and I love it. My wife says its not her preferred hairstyle but insists i'm still as gorgeous as ever lol

• Thanks for stepping up to the plate after six months. A bold welcome to you Jorkkuf.
  
  Nice to meet the guy who has been reading our posts.  So you know how it goes. Shave every day. Enjoy the shine. My wife was not crazy about the bald head at first, but 8 months in, she's continuing to warm up to it.  She knows how to find me in a crowd. And I'm easy to point out to friends.
  
  Look forward to your posts.  That link to the bald athlete this summer was a sharp picture. You probably look that good, too.

• Welcome JorkkuF,
  
  As you've discovered the Sly "hairstyle" is one of the easiest to maintain ... and always looks great. Another couple of months and your wife won't even recall your former shagginess.

• Welcome! I'm sure bald will become her preferred style in no time, because its the man under the dome she prefers

• Welcome JorkkuF!
  
  We each work with what we've got, so shaving was probably the best solution.

• JorkkuF, my wife wasn't too keen on me going sly at first either but I think she'll warm up to it over time.
  
  I think she'll like it even more once I get some color on my head.
