I agree with everyone else, it certainly suits you. Being a newbie too, I've been through some similar reactions but it seems fairly short lived.

When I had my first head shave my wife didn't really like it as she thought it a little extreme. Eventually she did get used to it & now she totally agrees that I should stay bald as she now likes the look on me and often-times cann't resist touching my bald head after a fresh shave...lol!!
Keep up the head shaving routine, bro. Your wife & others will get used to seeing you as a bald guy.
Welcome to this great site with a lot of great guys & some super advice (not just for head shaving, either...)

This bothers me, how a lot of women these days feel so entitled and that harassing and insulting there significant others about a physical feature is ok by a modern day society. If men do this there are considered shallow terrible people. Feminist at its worse. I honestly don't know if I would want to stay married to someone who treated me like that over something like hair.

i think it looks good. my family wasn't happy either. but after about a month or 2 they got used to it and realized that i feel better this way and have been cool with it for a few years now. i guess we forget that to us it's just a haircut and to everyone else it's a drastic change in our look.

Well, I'm late on this one...your 30 days is almost up, but I would have said, scrap the 30 day rule, and keep it. A very natural look on you!
I quit looking for approval from wife and family...it never worked, if I had a dime for everything they did that I did not like, and a nickel for everything I did that they did not like, I would be retired on a yacht with an all female crew, and not writing this from my work computer in Chad.
I hope you keep it, it is a very suiting look on you!

My family got used to my shaved head pretty quick and easy, It's taken longer to get used my full beard (which is odd cos I have favoured some sort of facial hair since the age of 15) My mother is diplomatic about it but I can tell she isn't too keen on it

For any man reading these posts who is on the fence about taking the plunge, just go for it. Besides from looking a whole lot better (and you will, trust us), you'll gain something far more valuable: freedom from people's opinions on things that really don't matter (like hair). I've just reached the two year mark, and only now has my wife decided (and expressed to me) that she thinks I look better bald. I appreciate that, but I had already decided that about seven days into the 30 Day Challenge for myself. Given time, family and friends will be on board, but what's most important is that you're happy with it. That's freedom.

Good points kalva, after more than 2 years of headshaving, all but 2,of my friends have accepted my shaved head. They have both known me since I was a teen, and they just make comments like "I like you look better with hair". I'm sure there are more that don't care for it, but they keep it to themselves.

The key is to not get attached to what other people think, good or bad. That is what causes suffering.

Sounds a bit like Buddhist philosophy, and I do agree.
