Welcome Eric ... it's really so much easier to make the change than people expect. Enjoy the change.

G'day mate, I'm glad to see you took the plunge, and are loving it. I head shaved in winter too, and while Aussie winters are much milder, I still pretty much lived in my beanie for most of it. Good luck with the 30 day challenge, not that you will need it!  O0

Welcome aboard Eric!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Welcome from another Washingtonian! You mentioned it being cold so I'm guessing you're from the dry side? If not, we're very, very cold on my side (got down to -6 the other night).

WOW. If that is Fahrenheit then it is below minus 21 Centigrade which is colder than my deep freezer. I have never felt something that cold but I would love to see what it is like for a little while. I imagine that it would make for a few problems like frozen pipes etc and the heating costs must be prodigious.

I met a bloke from Russia the other day and was talking about the recent cold weather there so I asked him what was the lowest temperature he had ever experienced and quick as a flash he said minus 49 C which is minus 56 F which is just incredible. He said though that it only stays like that for a couple of days and then goes up to minus 29 C or so. Where I live is considered cold but the lowest it gets is about minus 5 C or +5 F which is positively balmy by your standards.

Welcome from another guy who first shaved his head in January (a year ago, Jan 19th.  )

I love it. You look good exporting a shaved head.  And your strategy for doing it just before going on assignment, I think, is good.

Welcome Eric,
Although I am brand-spankin' new to this lifestyle too, I must say that the bald looks is good on you.

Thanks again for all the complements been sly now for almost a month. I am loving it and getting use to my routine every morning as well. That was the biggest part of the 30 days test was getting use to the routine. I was stationed at JBLM and am now across the country I MD to take a class at bethesda and will be moving to Colorado springs. That is Army life though. Again thanks for all the comments and confidence you guys have given me.
