SLYinKC:
I can see how you might get that feeling. My barber was tightening my #1 buzzcut this weekend and everyone else in the other chairs had more of a "style" thing goin'. This one mom was there and told the barber next to mine not to cut her kid's hair as short as mine and pointed to me. Ouch.

He still asked if it was time to break out the razor, though because he knows I'm close.

Stuff like that comment probably keeps me on the fence from telling him to peel it down like a grape. But I'll get there with a little time and encouragement from SBGs. Appreciate you guys letting us learn from the SLY among you.

Too bad you weren't quite ready.  I would have loved to see the look on that woman's face if you had said, "You think this is short, I'm gonna have him take it all off."  It's amazing what some people say.  I don't care what anyone thinks/says.  Luckily I'm not around such shallow people.  Bald & Proud!  O0
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Well, I'm on my 5th day of being totally SLY and to this point I have felt extremely comfortable (and dare I say even a little proud) in being out in public.  But last night I had to take my son to a local "Great Clips" to get his monthly hair cut and it felt so strange.  The place was packed with guys (some of them balding, others not) and I felt like a fish out of water.  I think it was the feeling that "I don't fit in here".

Anyone else had a similar experience??? @n(

I go to a barbershop around the corner from my office once a week to get my goatee trimmed.  I'm always afraid of messing it up myself, and for the sake of $5, it's well worth it.   I do feel like a fish out of water, though, if there's a wait.  I feel like the other customers are all wondering, "What's he doing here?"  One time, when I came in, another barber (not the one I usually use) came into the room while I was hanging up my coat.  I had my back to him, and he was a bit surprised to see the back of my completely bald head and actually asked me what I'd come in for.

I took my son in to get his haircut and I am not sure why the hairdresser still ask me how to cut his hair... he's 14, but I just looked at her and said "think you can make him look like me?". You should have seen the look on my sons face!  :*))

I treat myself to a barbershop headshave every couple of months.  My barber can never get as smooth as I can but the experience is great.  He puts hot towels on my head to soften the stubble and then hot lather.  He shaves me twice against the grain with a straight razor. The responses from the guys waiting for a haircut make it priceless watching the baldie in the chair getting shaved .
