I drive a Jeep and get the thumbs up and slight nod from other Jeep owners.  Yesterday I got a slight nod from another Jeep owner who was bald.  It's a trip. 
This morning I went on  FaceTime with my sister and forgot about my bald head. .  She said "Oh my gosh you are bald, I love it. ". That's two family members down, three to go.

Good to hear, David!

I always think of Tom Selleck when we talk about shaving our heads. Tom Selleck is a great looking guy, but I cannot get used to him not having a mustache. I'm just so used to the mustache.
Probably my kids think he looks fine, because they aren't used to the mustache.
People are just most comfortable with whatever they're used to, in most cases. I'm glad your sister has an open mind!

I have worn a hat most of my life and even after shaving my head for the last month, I still wear my hat.  It depends on how cool the hat is, I guess.

I ain't dying.  I'm just shot up a little is all- Mox Mox

You like much more confident without the hat. The hat is not a bad look, but it's a boyish look. You're too old for that.

I did the hat thing myself for way too long. I wore it inside nice restaurants and committed many social faux pas before coming to my senses. It got to the point were it was effecting my social life. Taking off my hat was the most freeing thing I've ever done. Congratulations on reclaiming your manhood.

I'm not opposed to a cool hat once in a while, but I see guys in their 40s and 50s wearing ball caps glued to their heads -- pathetic.

I think the bald looks natural on you.

I would say you can still wear a hat, since people with hair wear hats as well, just don't hide under it and remove confidently when needed (like sitting down for dinner, etc).

I have never been a hat person.  Since shaving i like to show off my bald dome.  However when playing tennis I usually wear a cap as protection from the sun - Australia has one of the worst rates of skin cancer inthe world.  It is 38 Celsius today -100F - so I  am staying indoors.
