Hi Mikey:

Well post some pics; preferably some before and some after, and we will give you our honest opinion. 

But you are right - there is no feeling like it!

I also transitioned as well, I e also in past years thought about just maintaining a zero buzz as well, but i prefer the shaved smooth feel on my head.

Thanks...I may post a pic later if have a moment of confidence. I'm self-conscious at the best of times. I did force myself out of the house for a bike ride today though.

It's okay to be a little shocked at first by the look and feel of a shaved head.  It's also normal to feel a little self-conscious at first, but hibernating isn't going to make that go away.  Go out and do your normal activities.  If you do, you'll start to get accustomed to the look and very few people, if any, are going stare or say anything.

Shave it smooth is a no going back action! For me it is how i like my head. I do go a day sometimes without shaving but the smooth look / feel is so much better / comfortable!

I agree, get out and show off your bald head! People that don't know you won't even look at you. Shaved heads are everywhere. As far as looking in the mirror, even after a year of shaving, I didn't recognize myself.

If I skip a day shaving, I feel like I'm not looking my best. That baby butt smooth head is addicting, love the feel and shine of a freshly favored dome.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Congratulations on taking the step.  It normally takes some time to adjust, but most guys are really hooked on the smooth feeling and actually enjoy shaving.  Give it 30 days and you will be hooked, maybe less for you since you have been buzzing.

Thanks so much everyone for your support and words of wisdom. I plan on going out tomorrow and at least getting some sun on my pale dome.

It gets easier, I was self concious at first but I love it, post some pics, when you feel you are able to.
First started shaving my head on the 9th October 2014

Is it really just five days from a #0 or shaved smooth? I think tomorrow is the day; I'll be able to hibernate for a week if I need to!

It takes about a week from shaved smooth. Your hair will be a little thinner at first because all of her hair doesn't grow at the same time, but it won't be noticeable to anyone but you.
