After more than 3 years of going BBC, only 1 or 2 old friends still don't like it. Everyone else has accepted it as my new normal. Especially everyone I have met since I shaved my head, I think they assume I have major male pattern baldness and just shave the rest.When asked, there are alot of reasons I have for staying bald, but I just say " I like how it looks and feels, and I'm keeping it". No other explanation required.
It doesn't matter what they think. All that matters is that you are happy with the way you look.
