Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it. If it wasn't for this forum and you guys, I know I wouldn't even attempt this change.

Thanks for the estimate Henry, I'll keep that in mind.

That's a good idea Paul, about a few flecks of grey. Once I get some more growth I'll see what I have to work with in another few weeks and go from there. If it's just a bit around the years etc... then perhaps I can get away without them, but I'm open to trying something new either way. I'm not 19 anymore LOL

I do take zinc along with several other vitamins (i'm a bit of a health nut), but that is good advice nonetheless.

I've attached pics from a guy and was curious, how difficult is this style as a newbie? The advantage I see from my point is that since I buzz my sides I could use a system right away. Is this realistic or should I really grow out my sides a lot longer and go for an 'easier' style to blend and use as a newbie.

Thanks
