bald by choice guys, what made you decide to become sly?

As a bald by choice member, last couple days i have been wondering about what made some of the other bbc members decide to become sly?

When i was younger, i always liked how guys eith shaved heads looked.  Anyway, over time this evolved to a desire to see how i might look bald. Would i look as good as the guys  i kept seeing around?  This simmered in my mind for years, but i never did anything about it for fear i might not look as good as they did. My mother didnt exactly help, as whenever i would make some offhand comment to her, she would always say she thought very few guys could pull the look off as they had poor shaped heads for it?  Sounds pretty familiar to many of you reading, even the bbn guys, right?

Fast forward to last year, things started out looking like it would be a great year. But things went downhill pretty fast. About mid February i was let go from my job over attendance issues despite that i never called out when i wasnt truly sick except once about 2 years prior. Had just been getting sick more often for some reason. Anyway about a month later, when i finally had begun a new job search since i had plans to visit oug of town friends when i was let go that i couldnt cancel,  i found out why i had been sick so much more often than usual and had to have sugery to fix the issue,  and the doctor ordered me to take it easy for almost a month and half after to ensure no complicayiins in my recovery,  so job search again went on hold again. Finally found a  new job in june, and things were looking up again, i was enjoying my new job so much, way better than my old job. Got a newer car, the nicest ive yet owned, and things were great. Then came the worst blow of all. My father passed away from a massive stroke. I had lost family members before, namely both grandparents on dads side, but i wasnt particularly close to them, infact in the case of grandma and grandpa on dads side, i hadnt seen them since i was a small child. So there was that, i was devastated and depressed much of the holiday season.

So finally new years came, i was starting to feel much better about myself and had high hopes for the new year. Decided it was finally time to give shaving a try, maybe it would be the confidence boost i needed to get back to my old self. I figured id do it just for a week or 2 to give myself the experience of being bald that i had always wanted. I certainly had good reason to want a change after the terrible year i had just had, so i bought a oair of clippers, some good shave cream since i dont usebit when i shave my face, and good razors too, since i needed to get new ones any way, and off came my hair. Wow i looked as good as id always hoped i would!

  Kept to my self commitment to only do it for a week or 2 though, and began letting my hair grow back. Got as far as maybe the equivalent of a #2 clipper guard, and realized i missed the feeling of being bald. Also looked at a pic of myself from before i shaved alongside one while i had been in my 2 weeks of shaving and thought, wow, i look kinda ugly with hair, and besides, although its not obvious yet both my mom and my partner have been telling me im starting to go grey. Off came my hair again, and ive been shaving every day, sometimes twice a day since. Dont think ill ever grow it back.

So, fellow bbc members, now that ive shared my story, i invite you to share your stories. Why did you choose to become sly?

I have posted several times why I went bbc. One of the reasons I stayed bbc was the initial reactions I received. A few hours after the initial shock, my then s/o said I should keep it shaved for awhile, as she really liked it. So I posted a photo on Facebook, and got almost all positive comments. A couple of months later, my s/o decided I should grow my hair back,  it by then, I was hooked on shaving bald.

The reaction of my s/o was the opposite. At first he was unsure, but tolerated it, now though he loves how i look bald and tells me occasionally he wishes i had done it sooner. Well not in so many words, but its implied in  the things he does say about it. My mother has yet to really see my full baldness as each time ive seen her since shaving ive been wearing my favorite hat, but she knows that im bald, and quietly accepts it, occasionally making a light hearted joke about it. Everyone else in my life has either not commented at all, or loved the look on me from day one. Well except for my good friend who helped me shave for the first time, but i suspect he just thought it looked wierd because of how lilly white my scalp was at first. He hasnt seen me in person since then as our shedules dont allow us to hang out often, and i havent mentioned anything about it when we've talked on the phone,  but i think after some initial ribbing about it, as thats just who he is, he will come to accept, probably even like my bald look.

Semi-Sly:
I keep coming back to BBC not because it looks good on me, as it does not, but because I like the FEEL of it.  I love the feeling of getting and being shaved.  There is nothing else like it.  Also, getting rid of the hair, the hair care, and the vanity involved with that is very empowering to me.  It gives me a big shot of testosterone and confidence.  This is me.  Take me or leave me!
