It was Thanksgiving weekend the first time I shaved my head. I had a little to drink and had bought shaving cream and a razor and was working up the courage for weeks.
Boy am I glad I did. I still remember looking at myself for the first time (through cuts) and seeing the real me- not the guy who avoided mirrors to avoid seeing a thinning hair- but instead I saw a confident bald man who loved the way he looked.
I have shaved my head in the morning- and again at night if I'm going out. When I get body wash I wonder how will it smell on my head, and shampoo is only for my beard. And I love the nod and "nice haircut" comments we give each other. I love looking in the mirror now- I only get mad if I see a small patch of hair I missed!
I try to do this each year even though I don't post as much anymore to help all the other guys in my shoes- in their 20s then and facing it early. Hope I inspire some of you the way reading this board did for me!
