A little back ground on me.
My name is Jacab (Like Jacob not Jay-cab) and I have always had a high forehead. In the last 2 years I have slowly but surely come to terms with the fact that I am balding at the VERY young age of 22. When I turned 24, I decided to pull out the clippers which shocked a few people. I guess because I usually had my hair fixed to hide my widows peak. 2 weeks ago today I decided that that was the day I was going Sly! I stopped at my local Walgreen's and purchased a Gillette Proglide Power (for $11) and a pack of extra cartridges (for $23). I went home, jumped in the shower, scrubbed my head real good to open up the pores, lathered up and made the best decision I have made in a very long time. I can only find one reason to let my hair grow out again and that is the cost of razors.
I always knew I would end up Sly seeing as how my grandfather and uncles on both sides of my family have rocked the horse shoe head (no hair on top, thin hair all the way around). I told myself time and time again that I would never EVER get to that point.
General reaction to the first time my family seeing me was accepting but was still the butt of many jokes. My work fellows still can not get it through there heads and I catch hell every day. I should probably note that I work in the oilfield so I knew what I was getting myself into.
The only complaint about going sly this early is that I didn't find out about the forum earlier! Ya'll have been extraordinarily helpful and you probably didn't even know! I hope to soak up any and all advice I can.
Thanks for having me!
