Finally Sly and loving it!
« on: October 06, 2014, 11:21:11 PM »
Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking for some time, and I thought I'd finally post to say hello.

My story is similar to many on here - had hair, started losing it in my mid-twenties (coincidentally around the time I met my wife...  ;D ) and, out of discontent, took control of the situation and I am really happy with the outcome.

Today I took the step to go sly. I stopped into my local barber and had him clipper as short as he could go (about a day or two's growth), and finished the job myself at home using a Bic Hybrid 4 Advance disposable razor, King of Shaves AlphaGel and Shaving Oil, and Nivea Sensitive Moisturiser to finish off.
My wife seems to like it (she met me when I had long hair, cried when I cut it short a few years back, but rather likes it now), but few other people have seen it aside from those who saw the obligatory Facebook selfie... :), as I chose to time it while I was on holidays from work.

Now I just have to show it to the old man, my genetic benefactor, who is - unsurprisingly - also balding but is content with biology carrying out the work :)

Welcome from another Aussie (in Canberra).  And the beard is awesome too.  Glad your wife likes it - makes the transition easier.

Must say, the smooth top and furry bottom are a good combination for you.

Welcome. Have fun with the new look.  Others will get used to it pretty quickly.

Roger (Nuts) is a good guy.  You can trust him.

Glad to see that you stepped out of the shadows and became a member. Enjoy the new look!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Welcome, Dann!

You look like a natural.  Don't be surprised if your Dad makes some negative comments.  I would call it jealousy.  I would imagine that he will be jealous that you look more bad-ass than him.   O0
