Fly, congrats on your new look. I have been sly for over three months now. I too went through the emotions. Hang in there and you will adjust to the new you very quickly. Hope you stay on the forum. Glad to have you aboard.
The first day I shaved my head it sure felt strange but really great. I still am surprised I did the deed. Sometimes I find myself looking at a reflection in a shop window or elsewhere and thinking how pleased I am with the result. Still not sure I will have it as a permaent look but it will sure feature strongly.

Fly, I've been Sly for two months and I like it and I'm not vain but I do have to stare at myself in the mirror or any other reflective surface, simply to marvel at what I did. Whether you have a full head of hair(like I did)or it's in the process of disappearing, taking it all off is a radical move, since people with hair(men or women)comprise the majority of the population. Even though the SLY look isn't as rare as it once was, it does make people notice you. Enjoy the attention but be cool about it. That makes you cooler.
I really do not get that many looks but Im still amazed how I look when I see myself in a full-view mirror.
I don't think it's vain to think you are nice looking sly. I call it self confidence. Nothing wrong with that.
