Thanks guys!  I really appreciate the support :D I am LOVING the dome.

Day 1 & 2 were a bit rough- got to finally see the extent of my scalp issue and it was nasty that first couple days. Red and irritated and certainly sensitive.  As of day 3, though, there is no more red and for the first time in many years I'm not spending all day scratching my head.

Had some good and bad responses:

Dad: *shrug*

Bro: Walk away laughing and comment on "razor burn"

Fiancée: Keeps asking if "I" like it (but she is definitely warming to it)

Mom: (via text after seeing my picture message) "I'm sure your happy with at least trying to see if this will work , but not taking it kindly that your bald... You have my think (thick) beautiful hair and would like to see it ....still love you

Otherwise, people have been surprised but supportive.  Best one I've got so far was from a guy at church: "I tried going bald once,... But short guys like me look like a thumb"

Oh- and a fun tidbit: I am going to go ahead and let my hair grow out for my wedding so that I have my pictures with hair and then am gonna return back to bald after.

Oh, but wouldn't it be tons of fun showing all of your old friends and family a shiny dome?  O:O
Since you aren't going to keep your hair grown out after the wedding (early congrats, btw), how about making a progress thread here, showing you going from stubble to full grown, back to smooth? Would be way cool.
Either way, glad to hear you are happy with it!

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Glad it's working out for you, Brandon!
