I have one friend and colleague at work who is MPB and has been sly for years.  Of my close circle, I have a brother-in-law who is thinning and receding badly and a very close friend who has the horseshoe and combover, but neither will shave it down and live the good life.  Unfortunately neither of them seem to see sly as the way to go, even though I have extolled the freedom and virtue of shaving it clean.  Being BBC I always hope they will see that if a guy with a full head of hair enjoys the sly life that they should get on board and shave it off.  The fact that both men are very confident individuals may have something to do with it but for straight appearance sake they need to go sly.

No one else in my immediate family.  There are 5 SLY brothers in our church.  3 of us are in the same Sunday School Class.  2 of us play in the praise band (we are the bookends).

I don't have any SLY people in my life. There is one coworker that is BBC.....but I don't see him too often.

I actually have a bit of friends who are now sly.  Two are friends I have made on the internet and are part of my Christian Chromedomes group on Yahoo who I keep in touch with and have actually met and grown close to.  Another two friends are guys I have known for years who had extreme MPB.  I know that I convinced one to finally ditch the fringe said that I inspired him to go sly along with his brother already being sly.  The other friend I kept bugging for years to do it.  But in the case of that friend, I don't know if I actually had a influence.  He ended up moving to Florida, so the heat probably influenced him along with his sly dad and brother.  Now he is in Alaska and is staying sly since he now feels the MPB fringe looks like Bozo the Clown.  Then the last friend is a good friend from church who is my co-leader in a home fellowship group.  No relatives are sly yet, although my cousin Tom's daughters feel he should go sly.  He has about the same hair loss pattern as I do and would look good if he did.  But I would say that 5 sly friends is doing pretty good!

Can't say I have anyone close t me who rocks the Sly look/attitude

These days since I'm in Washington, I'd say i only have one full blown "everyday razored" friend..

My buddy Dominic that I'd met over at HSC...very cool, two headshavers could really hit it off...and the wife's get on with each other two..

you can meet some real cool folks in places like this!

 

Please say hi to Dominic.

Yup he's one of the two coolest headshavers I've ever known. But you're #1 in my book. You and Dom gave me lots of encouragement and made my BBC transition a smooth one.

One of these days my wife and I will make it over to the Northwest and meet up with you and your wives, and Timpac and Slick Eric over in Portland too!

Cheers, Ben

No problem dude...I'd love to meet ya too...

along with all our other fellow members...especially the bald Washtonians and Oregonians..

just give me the (bald) heads ups!

Keep it smooth and shinin, my bald bro!

Jdoggy is my sly guy!

My older bro had MPB, and was very very depressed about it for a long time - he started buzzing it super short but still hated it, and now he has spent $1000's on some treatment that gets the hair growing again, it has worked he has a full head of hair again - he is happy about it - but I wonder how long it lasts??? Maybe one day he will go sly!!
