Semi-Sly:
wow, you got a lot of great postive feedback. Post some photos so that we can see what people have been raving about!
I got almost universally negative comments when I was fully shaved. And while I agree that it is not my best "look", I love the way it feels and the "empowered" feeling that it gives me. So, I am pretty sure that I will do it again in the future.

I got good and bad comments. Oddly enough worst ones were from site members. Oh well everyone's entitled to their opinion.😀

One thing I notice is that a lot more people notice me in general. I catch people eyeing me quite a bit since I donned the chrome dome. Maybe it's just me feeling more confident and looking around instead of always keeping my head down in shame, and that's why I perceive "more" attention.. But yeah, in traffic, in the workplace, walking about.. I get noticed. The way I look at it, I stand out from the crowd, because I don't conform to the norm, but I didn't go to some extreme to "stand out".. so people aren't really caught off guard, just.. curious. I've had at least 3 people ask to rub my head in the past week, "just to see what it feels like". I just go along with it and jokingly ask, "why, are you thinking about shaving yours?" Nobody has fessed up to it, but deep down, I think they admire us.

I had several people I work tell me they admired me for having the courage to shave my head. A few have also said they have thought about going sly but can't work up the nerve.
