new, old and ready to bald...

[slymyke]

Ive posted on this forum now to build myself up to the shave off but I have an 'abnormal' shaped head which is really holding me back to the point of borderline depression
This is the first time ive opened myself to the idea of shaving my head so im looking for some help maybe just a friendly chat
Please help

I apologize if I'm getting this wrong, but this part of the original message tells me that Leroybrown is not happy about losing his hair (nor was I) but he has come to SBG looking for supportive comments on "building up to the shave off".  The main concern is the fear of having an abnormal shaped head.  This is the only thing holding him back.. .to the point of borderlind depression.  He knows he can keep his hair as is... that is not making him happy. 

Have we all not struggled with the thought of what our head would look like completely shaven?  Even guys who are BBC and know they can grow a full head of hair back pretty quickly, must still wonder if they are going to look odd.    Leroybrown, you mentioned Gabriel Obertan.  I have to say that I don't think his head looks too long.  He looks better with the shaved head than he does with the last stage of balding that is evident in some of his pictures.  I don't think my head is perfectly shaped (some angles are better than other for the camera) but that is the same with hair too. 

Leroybrown, I hope you don't feel pressure from me/us to shave... only support if you want to do so.

I didn't know who Gabriel Obertan is so I googled him. He looks perfectly fine sly - to me! Seems to me Leroy just wants to hear various opinions.  So Leroy, take your time or not making your decision. We're here to listen and offer our two cents if you want it.

English is not my first language.  That is true.  I have only my opinion to give and I read that he thought he might look not good with shaved head.  I encourage only to be his choice.  I think maybe you take what I say too personally.  Maybe your comments not really about Leroy anymore?  I do not know.  I think maybe you are trying to make fun of me instead, which is not very hospitable to a new person.

I don't know PKingsley.... I just re-read your first couple of posts and your English was outstanding. It has since deteriorated. Hmmm....

Hello Leroy, (My Dad's name also)

I am BBC and I love it.  The upkeep is minimal and I don't have to worry what my hair would look like after taking a nap.  I shave in the shower and it is part of my morning routine, it only takes a few minutes.  I am aslo here to support your decision to go bald.  As other wise men have said before me "if you have the itch then scratch it!"  Good Luck,

BaldDaniel

Everyone has an 'abnormal' shaped head but on shaving they find it was all in their imagination.  No one else notices or comments.  Go for it.
