First day bald!
« on: August 23, 2013, 03:36:18 AM »
Hello everyone I'm Jeff. I finally decided to shave my head and so far I'm loving it. I'm currently 26 years old and my hair started to thin around 21. The last year or so I noticed my hairline started to recede and I decided rather than worry about my hair loss I would get rid of it entirely.

Welcome Jeff. There's a lot of great information a new head shaver.
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.

Good decision Jeff

Good choice my friend.  I'm 25 and have been shaving it for 5 years now.  Sounds like you're enjoying it just like the rest of us.  Welcome to the club

Congrats on the decision!  I am 60 years old & have shaved my head since '94.  I love the feel & the ease of maintenance is great.  At the start, you tend to question yourself.  Stick with it and it will pay off.

Welcome.

The only regrets I've ever had, are the times I've let it grow out again.  I just feel naturally better without the MPB staring back at me.

Welcome Jeff!

Great group here. I have found lots of support. Like Timmer, I regret letting it grow back in. I am now on day #23 of my 30 days, I love it.

"No more bad hair days"... :) This is SUCH truth!!!
