I enjoy the shaved head. Not really anyone else in my circles that has the shaved look. I get lots of great comments. The biggest question I always get though is "how do you get your head so shiny." I always respond "NBO" and after they think about it for a moment follow up with "Natural Body Oil." The curse of really oily skin. Nonetheless, I think you'll like the shaved look. Its become such a common thing now that most people don't really give it much of a second thought when they see a guy rocking a completely shaved dome.
I am sorry to hear how hard MPB is impacting your life. Like others have said, MPB is not a disease, you can`t die from it. I know it is very easy for us to say to not let it bother you, but it is hard. Take time and read throughout the forums, you will see how great it is to be SLY.
