Reaction from my mother while taking off my winter hat in a store: ''Oh! Please put it back on! Your head looks so white too!
Can't say my mother is supporting me that much, I just hope she doesn't mean everything she says... -

Pretty much where I live and work it's almost commonplace....At first I felt weird when a guy with MPB would stare at me (or my head I should say) but a sly co-worker told me that it's probably jealousy.....Ironically out of the 20 guys on my shift six of us shave our heads, though with varying intervals....Like I said it's so common nowadays, hardly anyone cares unless you cut yourself and have to wear a bandage in public (embarrassing).

Totally agree with you about families. You just have to roll with their punches and assert yourself.
Been Skyping my folks recently, they didn't like the new look at first. But seem to be mentioning it less and less. And my brother thinks I look evil ! -

my son said he hated it, but cant stop touching it. My wife (better half)doesnt like it , but has said its up to me. a few jokes (the obvious ones) when a load of friends came round, but nothing after the first five minutes. One friend came round earlier and didnt even seem to notice. And then my first head rub from the neighbour saying it felt as smooth as her babies bum(just shaved it). so all in all very good so far, no nazi bits (that will wind me up) no skinhead comments yet. my mother will probably hate it because my dad had chemo twenty five years ago before he died. I hope its not too high maintainance to keep up, I love it.
Happy valentines to all the slap heads

A close buddy complimented me on my shaved head. (It's been almost a month now). He's thinning quite a bit on top. Said .... you are really tempting me to shave my head, too!
I referred him to this site. We'll see if he shows up. -

My four teenagers are very supportive of me.. They are the ones who encourages me to put some facial hair... But my wife is still on her stage of acceptance
. But at the end of the day, i'm still the one who will decide for myself

In most cases it's just a matter of time to get used to the new look, but of course there will be hold outs and those that know what is really good for you.

I shaved mine while away from the missus working
I had also grown the stash and goat.
When I told her said " Mr clean bald" then followed by "I wanna see,I wanna see"
Send a pic and she liked it. She said I looked like one of those tough guys from Sons of Anarchy and that I could to really bad things to her. Oh how I love my missus. Lol
I was asked today by bosses wife if I was gonna keep the stash & goat because I looked like a mean supremacist. Nope keeping it all. Lol
Its funny how you can grow some.hair, shave some hair & people think that changes who you are. -

Reactions to my first head shave were:
"Hi, Kojak!" - I take that as a compliment as when I was younger Mr Savalas was seen not only as a tough guy but a sex symbol by a lot of women.
Skinhead; Baldy; Cueball; Chromie; Nazi (I found that quite offensive, but got over it); Slap-head; Cool; Mr Clean
"When are you going to let your hair grow, again?" (my mother)
"You need a haircut!" (My former boss being funny - I just laughed, too)
"Who cut your hair? I'll get them for you." (One of my colleagues)
"Were you nervous getting all your hair shaved off?" (My reply was "Yes", but I explained that it was my choice & that was the way i was staying - Bald By Choice).
