Hey!
« on: July 28, 2009, 07:09:29 PM »
Hey everyone,

Shaved it off for the first time today - found the advice to use baby oil in a post somewhere around here.

Baldness runs on my father's side with him, the grandfather, me and my brother all succumbing to MPB
in the early 20s. I've kept it short for 10 years (29 now) and honestly seem to be the only one in the
family keeping a somewhat realistic view on it: it just doesn't look good, no matter how you comb/hide it.

At the moment trying to convince the wife that it looks good (she abhors it). Thinks I look like a convict but
the kid loves to play cranial bongo and give compliments, so at least I'm not alone.  :D

Anyway, great inspiration from all the profile pictures here. Hope to post my own when I get the camera working.

Greetings from tiny Sweden, up north!

Great to have you here!  Give it 30 days and I'm sure YOU and the others will come around.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Welcome to the fun!   8)  It took awhile for my wife to get used to it as well.  She'll come around to love her new sly guy.  Just wait and see.

There's a fine line between love and hate. Given enough time your wife will have a hard time keeping her hands off the new aerodynamic you.  O:O

Your kid has the right idea.  O0
