Balder than I've ever been

Hi, everyone...
My name's James. I'm 29, from London, and I've never had much interest in my hair. It would look good post-barber trip, before rapidly descending back into scruffiness until the next time. Such was my disinterest, "next time" would invariably be after a long enough break for it to start detracting from my appearance. What was on my head was never my crowning glory, and at one point was a source of legitimate stress and frustration, but that's a whole other story. My hair and I? Uneasy allies.
Years go by, and I start getting signs from the universe. A judge on a TV show who was fighting a battle that was probably lost a decade ago got me wondering about hair loss - why doesn't he do something about it? A fantastic comb-over I saw while out walking, dancing in the wind on a poor man's head, led me back to the topic some weeks later. That's when I stumbled across this site, and read through a lot of the threads. I knew that should the day come, I'd be buzzing it at a minimum.
Curious as I now was, I decided to see what was going on up top for me, and whipped out my camera, with some thinning around the crown being the result. Not a catastrophe - especially when dry - but enough visible scalp to make me see that the road to a lack of hair had clearly been embarked upon. I'd guess a majority of men would be dismayed, but I was rather excited about the dramatic change in appearance that was now only a matter of time.
I spent a little while fretting about my head shape and trying to work out whether or not I'd look monstrous, but ended up shrugging my shoulders and buzzing it down using a #1 guard. I liked it and I didn't. That could have been an "oh well, it isn't for me" moment and the end of the journey, but instead I went over it again without a guard. Much better! I've realised that I'm happy between a guardless buzz up to approaching a #1, but curiosity got the better of me tonight and I took a (not particularly good) razor to it. I'm not sure if it's a keeper just yet, but I can say that I've done it, and can also confirm what you already know - it feels bloody fantastic.

I like the shine. I hope you do too.
A smooth head is a great feeling and a great look.

Welcome James!
That's a great look on you. Give it 30 days, and I think you will be ready to keep it that way for good.

You look like a goddamn freak. Your forhead is huge. Get a hair transplant. Just being honest.
