Finally Sly and loving it! by Dann on 06 Oct, 2014 23:21

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking for some time, and I thought I'd finally post to say hello.
My story is similar to many on here - had hair, started losing it in my mid-twenties (coincidentally around the time I met my wife...
) and, out of discontent, took control of the situation and I am really happy with the outcome.
Today I took the step to go sly. I stopped into my local barber and had him clipper as short as he could go (about a day or two's growth), and finished the job myself at home using a Bic Hybrid 4 Advance disposable razor, King of Shaves AlphaGel and Shaving Oil, and Nivea Sensitive Moisturiser to finish off.
My wife seems to like it (she met me when I had long hair, cried when I cut it short a few years back, but rather likes it now), but few other people have seen it aside from those who saw the obligatory Facebook selfie...
, as I chose to time it while I was on holidays from work.
Now I just have to show it to the old man, my genetic benefactor, who is - unsurprisingly - also balding but is content with biology carrying out the work

Welcome from another Aussie (in Canberra). And the beard is awesome too. Glad your wife likes it - makes the transition easier.

Must say, the smooth top and furry bottom are a good combination for you.
Welcome. Have fun with the new look. Others will get used to it pretty quickly.
Roger (Nuts) is a good guy. You can trust him. -

Welcome, Dann!
You look like a natural. Don't be surprised if your Dad makes some negative comments. I would call it jealousy. I would imagine that he will be jealous that you look more bad-ass than him.
