I'm SLY by flatdave on 16 May, 2009 22:58

Just wanted to let you know that today, I traded in the flattop for the SLY!
My first headshave at a barbershop, straight razored with the grain. It feels like sandpaper now so I guess I'll have to do it right tomorrow, against the grain. Not my best look, at least I don't think but it's growing on me.

We'll keep cleaned up for the summer, or longer. I do like the feel of it, especially when there's a breeze.

Looks good to me!! I'd say it's a keeper, but go ahead and give it the month. You'll never go back!!

It's about FREAKIN' time lol. I know the feeling Dave, went from my high and tight horseshoe to sly. But that was over two years ago. It's a great look for ya. -

Hello Flatdave. I don't know why you say it's not the look for you. Personally, I think it looks great.

Thanks to everyone for the great comments. Like I said Papa Don, it's growing on me. I just got done shaving it against the grain, it's nice and smooth now. Also tried the ice cube method for shine, we'll see if it works. I am really diggin' this!v

Your post on going slick at the barbershop has got me thinking about making a trip into my barber for a good headshave. Havent rewarded myself for several years. Flat tops are sharp haircuts. I wore a horseshoe flat for years before going totally bald.
Nice! Hopefully you can find a barber that will shave it against the grain. Mine didn't and it felt like sandpaper after about 6 hours. Good luck! -

I've got a good barber-hot towels, two times over against the grain, lots of chair time -

Congratulations. It's normal to have some reservations about it at first, but it really looks good. You'll feel better about it 30 days from now.
