Killing the rat!

[Sooner Steve]

I remember the day I got rid of my rat - 06/08/07. One of the greatest days of my life. I wore it for 23 years. What a relief!

So far I am really surprised as to how many people had no idea I had a hair hat on. I still have a lot of people to see next week so it will be an interesting week.  Does the sensitivity go away on your head?

Does the sensitivity go away on your head?

Yes, it will subside as your scalp gets use to being scraped.

Does the sensitivity go away on your head?

If what you mean is the feeling of "breezes" and a slight numbness--yes that goes away.  Now there is one thing your question reminded me to post--watch that dome, without the hair or what remains to tell you you're too close to something, you might bump your head a little more until you adapt.  I had lots of run ins with doors on rental cars until I learned that.

At first I found the various sensations on my scalp quite novel. I'm at 30+ days and quite honestly forget that I have no hair on my head. It's now starting to catch me by surprise when people who've seen me before react to my new 'hairstyle'  . There are times when I put my hands behind my head ... and surprise myself!

The bumps are a hassle at first -- under desks sorting out computer cables, or when taking a 'quick look' at the back of  a PC box and finding the wall in the process. I've simply evolved a different way of going about that and the problems are largely solved.

Day 2

Feeling a little odd today. My head is pretty red on top from the hair hat and I have a white strip where the tape used to be. I hope things clear up the next few days. Tomorrow I go in for surgery so I will have a big band aid to add to the look.

As bad as I look currently, I am way less self conscience than before and a lot more accepting that I am bald.

[hairhead]

Went for surgery today, everything is good, nothing like the smell of your own burning flesh. Tomorrow is my first work day Sly with a big Band Aid. Really looking forward to it.

I picked up a Headblade today and may take it for a ride in the morning.....Really getting into the shaving routine. It will be my third shave every other day and my scalp seams to be OK with it. I just want it a little closer, my left is always a problem.

Glad to hear everything went well.

Headblade today. Feels real nice! I did WTG and then ATG. Smooooth!

What are you saying to people who see you for the first time without hair?

[hairhead]

12 Days of sly.

I have had a total of one person mention that I looked more natural bald. Thats it. Everyone else said I looked good and never hinted at anything about the Old Rat Hat. I am sure there will be more comments as I see more people but for the most part it has been a complete non issue for most people. I still look in the mirror and am startled how freak-en good I look Sly. I was the only one loosing sleep and going poor over it.

Has it really been two months? That was fast.

Observations:

No one really cares.
People I know really well still are waiting for my hair to grow back.
I have had one Mr.Clean comment in two months (he did recently pass)
Kids are the only honest ones about your new look.
The Head blade rocks.
The rat becomes more laughable by the day.
The “Club” wants me back, they even sent a $1000 coupon
You can spot a “Club” member from 100 yards
My wife loves the new look
I have a bigger bank account with less hair
I no longer spend hours looking in the mirror making sure my pet is behaving on my head and undetectable by others
 My father in law said he liked me better before I did whatever I did.
I no longer sit in the waiting room looking at all the bad pieces on the insecure men.....Oh sh*t, a mirror thats me!
I cant explain the amount of freedom and control you feel once the deed is done.
I will NEVER go back to wearing a piece.
I really look forward to shaving my dome
I wish I had done it 15 years ago
Did I mention that no one really cares?
I can swim faster (Not really)
 Balding men will admire you, men with hair will admire you for making it a non issue
