Hey Beau, I was one that always reached for a ball cap first thing in the morning. Now, I love going without a hat, especially after a fresh shave after going on a run.

Going sly is truly a liberating feeling. Obviously you won't know until you actually take the plunge. You have one thing going for you that I don't.....your lady supports the sly look. The Lovely Mrs. Schro hates the look on me, even after a year! Oh well, her loss.

Welcome!
Schro

Nah i haven't tried shaving it completely down the to skin just yet... but i'm sure that day will come soon tho! The sad thing is that i see that a lot of the guys here have goatee's and i think that's a good look with a bald head, the sad part about it is that i cant grow one! lol, i've got a baby face and when i DO have to shave it's nothing thick!

First off, welcome Bro!

Sorry i missed your post....

Dude, like Tucker said, go with it and wear it with confidence, no matter what your age...a bald head does look cool bro...makes you seem like a straight forward, no nonsense type of guy to the world...and that is something to embrace!

The goatee thing...dude, most younger bald slick dudes don't have them these days...the "Mr. Clean" look seems to be the trend ....

a goat with a bald head looks good, even great...but it's NOT a requirement! ;)

go for the slick bald head bro...

you think the buzzed bald is cool...wait till you try it razor shaved....!

 Now THAT'S very sly brutha! 8)

Welcome, Beau. Don't worry about the goatee much...I can't grow one for the life of me.

When I finally took that last 1/8 inch of hair down to the wood (took me about 5-6 months going shorter and shorter to get up the nerve), I let the whole beard and facial hair go for about 6-7 days.

Then when I had the barber clipper it to the skin with a 00000 blade, I went home and shaved face and head...going from scruffy 5 o'clock shadow on the face and noggin to slick Mr. Clean like BALDANDRE suggested.

You'll dig it, bro...instant confidence boost. Just take the leap!

Welcome.

Hang in there with it, takes some time to adjust, but you will love it and the life that goes with it.

Beau, welcome to SBG!  Sounds like you've got some great support from your GF so take the plunge and shave it off and then the hat issue won't bother you anymore.  I had practically lived in a hat until I decided, much like you have, that there's really nothing more I could do, so just embrace it, beg for a few head rubs, and you'll be good to go.  I haven't worn a hat once since I went SLY almost a year ago!  Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm not saying anything these guys haven't already said.  JUST DO IT!!!  It truly is a liberating experience, and even better that your girl is on board with the idea.  And BTW, welcome to the forum.  Gald to have you here.  Jump in and have some fun.
