Do it bro, then you get to build shave dens, and really enjoy some great scents and shave.  I used to hate shaving. Now its a hobby.  Its fun looking for classic shaving items...etc.

[mangosink12572]

 Shave it clean and you will be very happy 

We know  - - -most of us were in the same boat

 

[baldjoeg]

The guys have given You some good advice. Good luck with your decison.
I know exactly how you feel. I was there once but have no regrets. My self esteem has improved a lot.

Good luck to You.

Mine started at 21... Bro you will learn to love it!

I agree...get rid of the hair man...clean shave it...i think u will find alot of complements u were not expecting and i find it to be a cleaner look...no worries man...good advice here...welcome brother

[xnewyawka]

Welcome Trey, all good advice given above and I agree with the guys, you'll find with time it will turn out to be a non-issue. First I must tell you, in my field I see hundreds of guys each day, and a good portion of them are either shaved smooth or buzzed tight.
Most men these days (I put it at nearly fifty percent) have decided to take control over their mpb, which is a good thing, and the one's who haven't really stand out now.
 
Your best course of action would be to get a gradual buzz, as suggested and then go from there. I think you'll like it as it actually frees you up from worry, it's cleaner and easy to take care of, and you can stop covering up with hats (this I just don't get; never did).
More than likely you will get the itch to shave it all off, and then you can decide if you like it that way.

Good luck with your decision either way.

ok, i did it, i took the plunge this morning. i shaved my head down completely. i'm still a little insecure about it. what do you guys think? thanks for all the advice guys!

[BaldnBearded]

Dude the shaved head is the way to go,you look much younger now then you did with hair.Definitly a keeper man

[Trey22]

thanks, really think so? do you think i should grow a beard out?

[Trey22]

It was time.  Now 30 days.  Then start living again, and, if you want, try letting the beard grow.  In just one month that feeling of "Who's the new dude in the mirror?" will be gone.
Your only real alternative to doing the deed was to let it happen hair by hair, leaving you with a horseshoe.  You're in control now--enjoy.

Looks good, try to grow out the beard alittle, you can rock it

[DCdome]

Trey!

You made the right move.  That dome looks so much better than what you were lookin like before.  I think if you grow a goatee you will have a rockin, rugged look.
Go for it.  Free the inner dude!

[marty22]

much better!

[Oto]

You look VERY FINE with a shaved head.

even if you doin't want to keep it, u]your hair will grow  back EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS before you shaved.

Even if a near future you lose more hair due to MKPB if you stop shaving now it will grow back exactly the same way.

But give yourself a try... you look good sly!
