That kind of thing happens with hair. It's probably only surprising due to the fact that while it's longer, you don't really think about or you just don't realize it.

How far are you from completing the trek to slydom?

"I reckon I probably gonna skip 1 and use clippers minus the bar and see how that looks."

That's what I do most of the time. I like the stubble look and since shaving, I don't give a rats a$$ about my hairline. I do shave it from time to time but the no guard clipping is just as pleasurable for me as shaving it down.

I do the no guard every other day or so. At least 3 times a week. Oh man, love it. I love the whole routine.

I use the trimmer on the back of my electric razor. I've cut myself with shears without a guard. This trimmer can be pushed into my head with some decent pressure and has never cut me. If I had to guess, I'd say it grows back to #1 length in 4 days.

Done the deed?

When you buzz without a guard it is only a small step to shave it wet. do it!  you wont regret it. is is a bit scary in the beginning but worth it.

UKNewbie and FoodFor4 --  just do it.  if you shave every few days its a lot less trouble than the daily buzzing needed to keep it really tight.  You both are going so short now that if you shave on a friday, and don't like it; it'll be grown back to what you now have by Monday
