Unsure about the shaving head now

[balddaniel]

I have to agree with the guys.  I also think you look great.  Maybe people were laughing beause they are jealous of how great you look and don't really know how to respond to the new look.  I say KEEP it!  You look amazing.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a bald head.

Last night was Installation at the Masonic lodge so we had many visitors. Of 50 odd men only 12-15 had a full head of hair. All others were at various stages of forehead. 5 were full sly (10%)!!! Of those 5, 2 were zero head hair (no beards)

Bald heads are here to stay. Don't fret over the cruelty of those that mock. They do so to cover their own failings and insecurities.

It been almost two hours and so far I been laughed at by people in the gas station , had strange unsure family unsure about it . And right now I took a picture of myself with and I have a old man and Frankenstein thing going on , My thoughts how i was going to look is nothing like what actually looks like. bummed out.

I totally agree. The first week I had a few odd looks and mocking comments from people I already knew. But the rare mocking comments came from people who I was pretty sure would lack the "balls" to do it. It covers their sudden feeling of inferiority.

Greg,

You look great. THe smooth look suits you. Of course, I think it suits most everyone!

The odd looks and such you'll get from time to time. You just have to hold your head proudly and those that laugh suffer from the fact their minds are so limited as to laugh at someone "different." Don't fret it, bro. They clearly never learned the Twain phrase "Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Stick with the 30-day rule and keep shaving. I have a family event Sunday that is lurking in the back of my mind-- I ponder over it time and again. For that day will be day #15... I already can tell I will not be looking...errr, growing... back LOL

Best of luck and keep it smooth!

Well I've been completely bald almost 24 hours and I love it my barber used a straight razor when she finished she told me it looked so much better then I went to the store I saw a lady friend of mine she thought I look so much better without that nasty comb over hairstyle she invited me out to dinner the only comments I got was positive no more comb over for me come on wind blow I'm not scared of you anymore . Just thoughts from one very happy baldy

My advice is to stay with it; I wouldn't choose anything else now. If I don't shave for more than two or three days I genuinely feel unkempt and untidy; I was also surprised after those two or three days to see how much my hairline had receded and thinned without me knowing or caring.
The guys here were great with support when I needed to get parental approval (yes, even in my forties!) and now my Mum doesn't mind I am virtually permanently bald and I can't see it changing anytime soon.
The look grows on you..........

I've never had a barber head shave, but from what I hear on this site, YOU can get it smoother than the barber!  Don't expect a super smooth shave from the barber. But if your shave is still really rough, then maybe the barber can do better.

Be sure your blades are fresh. Take your time the first week or two. use Shave Secret oil and Head slick or other premium shaving lube. 

I get a barber who does it clandestinely (against the law in my area) straight blade and all.  I go for the experience, I can get it smoother though.
