Thanks for the push!
« on: May 02, 2010, 07:08:28 PM »
I had been cussing and discussing with my wife what I would look like bald.  It was getting to the point that I was combing my hair with a towel, and I had actually bought some hair regrowth  to see what would happen.

After reading over and over here the success stories and the "should I, shouldn't I" I was still swaying.  I was standing in the bathroom today staring at the reflection in the mirror and thought, "why not?"  Got out the clippers, buzzed it off, and took the razor to it. 

Wow.  Holy crap wow.  My wife is supportive, my kids like it, and I have gotten looks and compliments all over.

Thanks guys!!

That is great news!  Way to take the step towards freedom and not having to worry about your hair.   That's great also that everyone is supportive.   Welcome to the group and keep it going.

That's excellent grooms, way to take control and just do it.

There's nothing like that first feeling of the freshly shaved dome. Enjoy your new found freedom.    O0

I took the time today to shave closely.  It feels GREAT!!!  I didn't realize how much I was worrying about how my hair looked!

I have gotten nothing but compliments.  I am so impressed!
