I wrote a little bit about my skinhead problem in another thread. Here is a pic of how it looks right now. I think it may be partly because of the 1 mm buzz. Either I should shave or I should let it grow out to 5 mm.

In the picture I feel neutral but I just think it shows that I look like Im out to murder somebody.  :Xo!

Ok, first- SMILE!!!  Second, it looks really good. You've gone this far, shave it with a blade. Third, How about a pic. That isn't a profile. Dnt be SO critical of yourself. :)

I should smile more I know. Tomorrow I'll go out and be as positive as I can. Im fighting the negative thoughts! Did you have any bumps on the road Daven?

We all have some bumps in the road. To total strangers, you will not look any different because they don't know you in the first place. To friends and coworkers, only your hairstyle has changed. There'll be an adjustment period, but most of us have found that it goes quickly and sly feels very normal.

Words of wisdom ^

The adjustment period was much easier than I anticipated. In fact, I regretted clinging to my remaining hair for so long. People that know you and care about you will still feel the same way. They will adjust quicker than you will most likely. Looks good by the way!!

Thx philip and npsbg! Today was a better day, smiled so much I almost locked my jaws  ;D

I'm gonna start counting my 30 days now even though Im not shaved with a razor! Then I can have another 30 days when I do start with the razor but I feel Im not ready yet and need this countdown for the buzz look  ;)

Another advantage with acting nice and smiling more not to scare people is that I feel like a better person and more positive in general. Not that I was rude before but now I act more on my own in comparison to reacting to others. Hard to explain.  :)

I understand exactly what you're talking about. It's like creating a positive feedback loop :)
