Omm sorry to hear that your bf does not like you sly.  Maybe you should ask him to shave it for you, maybe he will like it better once he sees his good work.  Just a thought.

Shaved it again  8)
@natedawg: I have the potential to grow a beard. I am actually thinking about growing it out. Not much but enough to give the face a more balanced look. Don't know what my parents will think about their "new son"...

Excellent job on the shave. It's kinda exciting right?

I work with a lot people in my profession. On Saturday some people saw me with a lot more hair then they did on Sunday. On Tuesday I had to speak in front of approximately 150 of my top donors. It was amazing all the support I got. My mom not so much my dad was apprehensive but she loves the look and all the people who are supporting me including my bf.

I have spent a good amount of time working up to these moments and I am sure you have too. Be proud. You did it!

Omm, one more thing.  I asked my wife and daughter the other day whether they actually perceive me as bald.  They both said no, they do not see me as "bald" anymore, they just see me...

The reason why I asked is because I have read this somewhere, eventually people get so used to your look that they literally don't "see" it (or realize it) anymore.

30 days should do the trick...

This is very true. You'd be surprised how quickly it catches on. Most people are fickle by nature. They'll move on to the next thing of interest soon enough.
 ...Some people are just not as tactful as others when it comes to outward reactions. No biggie.

Sweet! Looking forward to the updates. REALLY glad to hear you are enjoying being smooth yourself. That's what's most important.

Judging by your photo's you went and had it done and it looks good!

Actually reminds me a little of my partner with the beard, but without the glasses and a bit younger!

This seems to be true in my case as well.  My wife and daughters have told me that they have a hard time remembering or picturing me with hair.  The way I look now is "normal" to them.  People at work don't seem to notice anymore either.
