If you want to be really badass now you have to go out and get a tattoo, but don't tell your parents until you get one.

Naw, there are personal reasons I'm not doing that, relating to values and psychology rather than fear. I'm thinking about bulking up though.

Well done, Chris_John!

How did you feel "losing" the hair? Relieved that you finally went through with it or not?
Post some pics.

I've been wanting to do this so long that I suppose I had built up expectations that are different than it turned out. I don't know if I'd say I feel relieved or not, but I definitely feel different. I think I'll go with the 30 day rule, just to see if I really want this or not. At any rate, while the transition's been interesting, I really wonder what it'll be like once this is normal to me, or if I'll like it more than having hair.

Thank you for all the advice, and I'm sorry for when I ignored anyone. And now...

Pictures. The first one is after going a while without shaving, the second is a third sooner. How do I look?

You said: "How do I Look?"

I say: You look great.

Now: How do you feel?

Thanks. Someone at college asked how I got it so shiny, which afterwards made me feel really good. I responded with "cold water." I need to shave again, it's all sandpaper...
