New from WV
« on: June 23, 2011, 11:51:02 AM »
Hi fellow bald guys!  What a cool site.. I stumbled across it last night by accident, but glad I found you! 

I live in West Virginia, 34 yrs old, and have been balding since age 18.  Took the plunge & shaved my head when I met my wife 13 years ago (with her encouragement) and haven't looked back. 

One of my favorite quotes about being bald is: "Even if I could grow hair I wouldn't."  I enjoy and embrace baldness!

Looks like a light-hearted, informative site....glad to be aboard.     Thanks!

Welcome to the site. I've only been here since Saturday. Saturday was also the day I shaved my head for the first time. I'm still getting used to it.

Post a photo when  you can.  How often do you shave? What razor do you use? etc. I shaved the first time with a dull Fusion and then the second time (Monday) was with a HeadBlade. I LOVE the HeadBlade.

Daven, the look is good for you.  I'd be surprised if you decide to grow hair again...

Believe it or not after 13 years, I don't actually have a "routine."  Call it lazy, but sometimes I just use clippers a couple times a week.  Then I'll get back into a close shave for a while.  I'll actually change my beard/facial hair frequently.

Welcome to the SBG's forum, good to have you join us.
It's good to hear you decided to take control and shave it down, and that you had encouragement from your wife. Not too many guys get that at first, if at all.  Enjoy the site.   O0
