Thanks Razor, I have been struggling to reach this point for a year or more now. Like others, its the work fears that hold me back.
I'm really tired of the rug and all that goes with it.

Well, your support of your Mother and the rug angst will see you through. What you've seen on this site is true, more compliments and jest than mean spirited comments. But the great thing is that the compliments keep coming long after the rug and fringe is gone. Best to you and yours.

Holy Crap! I just looked at the Calendar and realized my deadline is next week! Gotta get over these nerves about it. Its really only the first day at work that gives me angst.

Hey Shrugged and Hiker48:
First off, I am sorry to hear about your mother Shrugged. I just found out 2 weeks ago that my mom has a rare form of leukemia. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
I encourage both of you to lose the wig. I know your fears, I know your concerns, I know your thoughts, I know exactly what you are going through. I experienced them all. I can tell you this. Losing the wig was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. My wife and family supported me. I have never received one negative comment. And even if I did, it wouldn't matter because I feel so much better about myself.
I too had the plan on my unveiling. Finally my 10 year old son told me to just shave it off and go to work. I did that very thing. Didn't "warn" or tell anyone other than wife and kids that I was gonna do it. To a person, everyone said it looked great. We all like to hear to good things said about us. My losing the wig was an outpouring of good comments. I loved it.
Guys, if you ever have questions, send me a message and we can talk. This board was a lifesaver for me. I just want to help anyone I can that is struggling with "losing the toupee".
Best Wishes,
Sooner Steve

OK, I am quickly making the call and that call is SLY on Sunday!
I'm even telling some select people in an effort to sort of force my hand and go through with it.,
All the positive commentary here and the kind PM's have made me see this as the move I must make.
Still need to figure out how to break away from the HCM obligation and little things like getting a tan (bought Jergens natural glow express last night!) and if I can grow a goatee, but I think Im finally over the edge!
One question, I have very light blonde eyebrows, they are almost non existent. Will this look funny and should I consider maybe coloring them a little?
