Hi everyone, no longer fooling anyone...including me.

[Headshader]

I have finally given in, I fought the good fight at every stage...(never with transplants or a hairpiece). Started receding at 18 and went to various levels off buzz cuts throughout my life and trying to comb forward (dumb) then at 29 ( I am 38 now) I would crop it down to 0 then spray hair fibers over the back and lightly over the front to create "shadow" it looked great, IF you go a really good spray and IF you do not touch or bump your head (and no one else touches it either. The other day I just hit a point...don't really know what set it off, but I said, the hell with it, this is ridiculous...spraying in my huge bald spots, after almost 10 years of doing so.
I am 6'2 and workout like a madman, keeping in shape is important to me, I really just wanted a strong buzzed look to go with it, and not have people look at my and know I am genetically inept lol. it comes to be no small form of torture that I am one of four brothers whom all have magnificent heads of hair with not even a hint of receding. Am I jealous? No. Actually happy they will never have to go through what we all have, yet the journey's end is not such a bad one, more of just you accepting it than anyone else.

Oh, also, I found this website a week ago, I found the founder on a youtube vid and thought him to be a genuine dude...checked out this website and here I am!

So it's a straight shave from here on out, I will see how it goes.....

See how it goes?  It'll go fine except for the occasional knick with your razor.  And the occasional bad attempt at a joke by a friend - you'll hear them all in the first week.

Welcome to the sly side of life !  Accepting what we can't change and just moving on with the great parts of life is what it's all about.

"grant me the ability to change what I can, the strength to live with what I can't and the wisdom to know the difference"  (a badly recalled paraphrase)

The thing that puzzles me is that it sounds as if the "spray solution" you were using was a "look, but don't touch" type of thang...so that means that if some female ran her fingers thru your hair, then across your cheek, it would be as if she was....fingerpainting??...
