John,
I want to apologise to you if my last comments in this thread came over as a bit flippant - I've been shaving my head for pretty much ten years or more now & it's easy to forget that it does take some courage to do the deed for the first time. Anyway, I'm sure you'll do it when you think the time is right & I am sure that once you have you'll be pleased that you did (& I wouldn't be a bit surprised if your wife loved it too) - but in your own time ... & whatever you decide everyone here will support you in that ... whatever is best for you ... that's what counts ...
All the best,
Jon.

John, you're already about 95% of the way there. All you need is a razor blade and some shaving gel to close the deal. It's a risk-free proposition at this point. It will only take a few days to grow it back to where you are now. The worst that can happen is you won't like the way you look for 2 or 3 days. And that is a very unlikely outcome. Don't you think it's a chance well worth taking? You'll probably look 10 years younger once it's done.
Stop the agony and do it. You won't have any peace of mind until you do. Take it from someone who's been there.
Hey Raze; it just occured to me, seein our two pics together; with the emphasis on the domes' --we look like brothers! Great Family Resemblance in our broad, stately foreheads ....

Do you mean your "think of the consequences" post! ... That was great! Actually, what I am needing are a few "kicks in the pants" to get me to realize that my stubbly look will be greatly improved--indeed revolutionized--by shaving it all. I took your words as humorous encouragement--nothing more.
By the way, I admire your extremely edgy version of sly. Contemporary and 'arty' but with a definitely unique take. In a very distinctive way, you ROCK the look !

Hey thanks John,
That's cool - After reading it again I worried that it may have come over as a touch insensitive & I'd hate to think that I'd offended any of my sly brothers!
thanks for the kind words also ....
I too was struck by the similarity between your pic & Razor's .... both great pics if I may say! Well high SLY .... the pair of you!

Ahoy, John. I'm with Baldandre and Razor, as usual. You cannot go back now, and, if you do not go forward, you'll have lost all momentum and self-respect. I was 64 when I went sly, almost a year ago. Never have regretted it. Send us the pic when the period of equivocation is finally over. All best, Professor Melon

John, a shaved head is a nice look for you, so shave it and post a new pic from your shaved head.

Thanks for the feedback, esp. Andre and RazorX. Thanks, Raze, for recounting that scenario. I've gone through that a few times, but of course, haven't gotten as far as you with the MachIII ! ! That day will come soon. I know I should have nothing to fear --that I will look decent bald. Looking in the mirror at predawn, without my glasses (yeah; wear them 99% of the time), the image I see is of a bald guy, and he looks pretty good . Won't be long now . . .
I did that too, leave glasses off in the morning, pull the mane back and cover it with my hand and squint. Now I have no mane and never happier!
