I finally did it - Thanks to everyone for their help by Sooner Steve on 11 Jun, 2007 15:49

Hello fellow SBG'ers. I am proud to announce I finally did it - did away with the hairpiece and went sly. Man what a relief.
On May 26 I posted my first ever post on this board although I had read most every post in the 3 weeks prior to that. I can't tell you guys thanks enough for all your comments, suggestions and support.
Last Friday with my 10 year old son in tow for support, I visited a local old fashioned barbershop to assist with my debut. He's a guy affectionately known as "Jack the Ripper". Let's just say the nickname fits Jack perfectly. I told him what I was doing and he said "you have come to the right place." He started pulling out blades and showing how close this would cut, etc. Right as he started a friend of mine walked in and in true hairpiece fashion I nearly panicked. He was very supportive and wanted to know if this was my debut. He said it looks great - you should have done it sooner. My son was great - he thought dad looked cool and my wife said I looked 10 years younger. Well, one hurdle cleared - getting home - now we must make our first public outing.
I coach my son's baseball team and we had a game that night. One of my players said, "Coach did you get a buzz?" I took off my cap and he says, "Coach, that is sweet dude!" Does it get any better than that.
Afterwards, lots of people wanted to see and it was nothing but positive. Man what a relief. I made it to church on Sunday and received positive comments. I am a lawyer and had a trial this morning. Judges, bailiffs, clerks, etc were nothing but positive. Man what a relief.
Guys, I just want to say thanks to all of you. I could not have done it without the words of encouragement from you. I look forward to helping guys in the future who find themselves in my position.
Oh, and by the way, I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go soonersteve, it only gets better from here, now you get to take care of your dome with less trouble than if it had hair on it. I agree this forum is a lifeline that cant be found anywhere else online that im aware of, so much information, laughs, compassion, and honesty. You'll be glad you took the first step to being Sly...

Hey Sgt. Already one step ahead of your advice. I ordered that gear several weeks ago and was shaving the part under the hairpiece for about a month. Now I get to shave the whole thing. Look forward to being a part of you guys. -
