Hi

[bearmedic]

Hello everyone. Live and work in Texas as an Emt. Will be 30 this year. Decided to shave it all off this past week, and found this site looking for advice on care.  My wife of 7 years is still trying to get use to it.  The kids just look at me funny. I also have been trying to grow a beard with not much success comes in kinda thin. Loving the bald but fearing to much sun being that I can be in the ambulance for many hours in and out all day. Any advice for the new guy would be most appreciated. Thanks

Welcome! As far as your concerns about the sun, do you guys have caps as part of your uniform? If not, a good sunscreen would help. As far as beards, most take a good two to three months to start developing, you just have to be patient. Again, enjoy the forum and feel free to ask any questions!

Welcome.  A cap or good sunscreen is sensible especially until your scalp gets a bit of colour and toughens up.  A bonus that your wife is on board; the kids will get used to you very quickly.
