Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
It doesn't seem like a solution. It seems like a trade.
Laser Man:
One thing that should be obvious to you right now is that there are no magic "cures" to how you feel. Rogaine wasn't doing it for you nor is the decision to pre-emptively shave. Going sly doesn't automatically give you a Captain America physique. It doesn't turn you into a brilliant conversationalist. It doesn't give you movie star looks. What most of us will tell you is that we feel better about ourselves and that comes across in how we interact with other people.
As to the cost in time and money, once you get the hang of it, shaving your head only takes about 10 minutes. how long does it take to shampoo and style hair if you're trying to cover up your MPB. After shaving, you never worry about wind and rain because there's no hair to get messed up. You'll use razors and shaving cream faster, but you don't need a barber / hairstylist every month and you don/t need shampoo, conditioners or gels.
Lastly, even if it's a trade, it's a good one for most of us. Look around any crowd of people and you'll see lots of bad hairstyles and unkempt mops. Bald heads always look clean and sharp.

It was a flood of emotions, so forgive me if I ended up saying anything offensive.
And well, these first three days have been a rollercoaster. There were moments when I looked in the mirror and thought "you know, this actually looks kinda good" and sometimes I felt like I'm a fool for trying to believe that people will accept me like this.
There were good experiences such as the likes my new profile picture got on FB and being told by the girl I'm seeing that it looks good. Then I went to my sister's birthday and my family's mean spirited jokes crushed me again.
I do agree with you guys that it is kinda silly to create all those expectations. It's a long psychological journey and I will only know anything for sure after the first month.

Welcome to the group!
One of the things about this forum is we try to help newly sly guys deal with things such as nasty comments, anxiety, etc. It is indeed a journey that takes longer for some than others, but hang in there, in due time it won't be an issue for you nor outsiders.

Welcome! One thing to remember is to do what makes you happy. If you can keep to the 30 day rule you'll find that people will get used to seeing you bald and accept it. After a while they won't really notice the bald head, they'll just see you.
I don't know if Dollar Shave Club operates in Brazil, but that's where I get my blades. I get 4 cartridges for $9 US a month. I get a great shave for a great price. And they come in the mail right to my house. I'm sure you can find something like that there. Otherwise, yeah, cartridges are expensive. IMHO the expense is worth it.
