Title: Finally decided to shave with a razor. Thoughts? *pic*
Post by: Baldhurts on December 20, 2016, 02:14:41 PM
Hey guys. Before I decided to do this I was using a set of clippers with the lowest setting and no gaurd.
Today I razor shaved. Didn't apply lotion or anything like that, but honestly it feels a little weird and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Didn't leave the house today yet I'm still kind of afraid of what people will think. Here's a picture of what I look like now.

Should I keep razor shaving or is the little bit of stubble something that might look better?

Totally smooth is an excellent choice for you. You definitely rock the look! Keep it shaved with the blade.

I agree with the consensus.  Bald suits you.

Totally badass...especially with your height and eyes...I usually don't compliment other guys, but yours looks great. Even if you just did a no guard and not use a razor, you have the head for sly.

By the shaved head pic and Buzzcut with no guard pic, i cannot notice any difference.

So i vote for shave head, but its all about you feel comfortable and not me.

Tried the 30 days rule first, if you don't like keep very very short.

I appreciate everyone's feedback, and nope, still totally hopeless with the women lol. Serious.

Well I am hopeless with women too. But that doesn't me I probably turn heads. I just don't see it or know it because I'm too nervous and self conscious to get over myself and notice. Does your personality need a little effort to be more outgoing and approachable? With a good laugh, bright and jovial personality, and your looks - I don't think any girl you talk to is going to walk away thinking, "man what a weird bald guy". We can't win them all but I'm sure you're getting attention and just not realizing it!

you had said in the original post that you hadnt gone out.  if you dont go out the women will not see you.  Go out, walk tall, as pangolin says laugh loud and they will soon fall at your feet

Admiring beard genetics. Wish I had the facial hair growth you do.

dont wish for what God didnt give you man... I mean, i could wish for some things i dont have, but we all get our own stack of cards. How we play them is up to us!

I know what you mean, probably saying it in passing, but still - dont forget youre unique and to embrace your own specialness.

My beard isnt perfect, i get some really funky growth patters on the right side, which makes it difficult to trim to match the left side. It doesnt grow on my cheeks that well, and down on my neck its a absolute mess. I think i do a pretty good job of trimming it though to look good. I am currently doing more than the thin beard in my profile, trying to fill in the cheeks if possible for a winter burly beard.

The one in my profile pic took two weeks to grow, and i had just trimmed those angles going into the chin area the day before taking the photo.

The look suits you, sir.
You have nothing to worry about.

You do not need to worry about beard genetics, you have a greart look clean shaven.  Go the 30 days as you are before considering any additional changes.

I remember the first time I shaved my head with a razor.  Yeah, the outcome felt weird to me too.  That's just natural, but in time you get used to that.  Now it is all I prefer.  I hate stubble or sandpaper feeling on my head, therefore I shave my head almost every day now.

But you?  Dude, you rock that look so well.  It takes time to get used to it, that's all.  I say give it time.  That's why we always suggest the 30 day rule.  I suggest 90 days though... hehehe.

Good luck!

Looks awesome!

BTW I consider myself hapless with women as well, but nothing like starting a conversation by women rubbing your head, which has happened to me quite a few times.

Try razor. Either way, great look. Chick magnet.
