Thanks for posting the link to this video. I've had my had shaved completely for about 18 months but this past weekend, a friend's son at the skate park mentioned my "don't mess with me 'do" and "scary shirt" (
Just Vans???) and his dad jokingly mentioned tattooing a swastika (not EVEN funny
) to complete the look. An adjacent guy whom I've never met (but was a total ripper at the park) said something about "skinhead" (to which I thought WTF?!) and yet another friend quizzed me about my shaved head and asked if my sweat doesn't run into my eyes and when'd I shave my head, etc.
My wife said it's probably because those guys only see me (usually) with about 24 hours of growth, since I don't shave Saturday morning before hitting up the park, so they probably don't notice. My schedule had been off the week before and I happened to shave on a Friday night... so my head was relatively slick the next morning.
Needless to say, two references to nazis/ skinheads was enough for me to forgo shaving for a week or so, to see if I could "grow it back out" even though it looks like one of those tests from a psychology 101 text book. Guessing I'll get the courage up to shave it again, but I'm tempted to leave it be, with growth and see if my friends notice or say anything. Only thing I found different is that hats go on and come off easier.
My wife's come to terms with it; she prefers the Jason Stratham stubble, but I'm not really hip to that. Too itchy for me. Any who... Thanks for sharing that information. I really like the way Stewart dealt with the matter. I saw the other video posted, too... and the extreme example of trying to hide one's balding ...
