Finally did the deed and feels good!
« on: August 28, 2015, 12:23:46 PM »
Hi, thought I’d share my experience so far and post a photo. After a couple of years for buzzing shorter and shorter, I finally took the plunge at the end of July. Was still a bit nervous despite already having been Grade 1. Took it down to ‘0’ and then it just seemed right to get the razor out.
It felt weird at first but ultimately a lot better. It was good reading that others think everyone’s looking at them, but there aren’t, because I really felt that. Have been shaving on and off ever since. Sometimes I go for three or four days but have to say I prefer every day or every other day. So thought I might try the 30 day thing.
I have been surprised that less people have commented than I expected – at least there’s not been anything negative. Still not sure exactly what I’ll do once back to work full-time, but the ‘journey’ has been fun so far.

Can't even imagine what you would look like with hair - I tried, but it didn't look good!

you look great shaven.  You will find that you like shaving daily.  Co workers will notice but will adjust and many will compliment you.
