Welcome Andy!!

You know, your tale sounds a lot like most others, so just knowing you aren't alone is a huge relief. I think you look very natural with the shaved/sly look.

It's nice in even warmer climes (like Thailand) to be free of hair, it's such a fuss. It sounds like you have a great routine and source of support around you, and that is wonderful.

I hope you'll become a regular poster. There are lots more folks "lurking" out there, wondering "should I...?" - maybe your voice and experience will help convince them to go sly!

Hi guys thank you for all the warm welcomes and supporting comments.  I am loving my new look. 

I have never suffered from low confidence due to my role as a teacher and twenty years working in government however, I always use to shy away from photos and use to hate looking in mirrors for they were a constant reminder of how I only had a few wisps of hair left on the top. Imagine working in a warm climate like Thailand and in locations where there is no air conditioning people kindly adjusting a high powered fan, so it points in your direction, in order to keep you cool.  All the efforts of trying to 'piece together' my 'bits of hair' would be ruined in an instant.  I remember catching a glimpse of myself in a shop window, in the big shopping centre, and how this would automatically result in me re positioning my hair. All these previous experiences are history now, and yes it is a very liberating experience/feeling

I now spend time looking for good scalp products, looking to see what razor blades the drug stores have in stock.  I am no longer shy to be asked to be in a photo.  Yes, I know I am not handsome but what I do know is that my new look is one hundred times better than how I looked before.  I enjoy my time now shaving in a morning and not having to fuss over a few wisps of hair.

Once again all you guys on this forum your confidence and support now as a member and all the posts I read as a visitor are so much appreciated by me. Thank you.  one very happy SLY GUY.

Take care

Andy
