Bald by Choice
« on: May 30, 2018, 12:39:29 PM »
I’m fairly new here.  I just shaved my head again a few days ago.  This is my fourth go at it.  I’m a solid 2 or maybe 3 on the Norwood Hamilton scale, so I still have a decent head of hair.  I like the way my head feels after I shave it, and to be honest, I think it looks pretty good.   After shaving before, I never have kept it up past a couple of weeks.   I did start using a Headblade this time and it does make the job a lot quicker and easier.  This is a summer haircut for me, but I’m not sure if I’ll fall back into the habit of letting it grow back again.

Outstanding look for you Chuck! Perfect head shape for sporting the bald style. Enjoy the summer with the smooth dome, after a couple months you will be addicted to shaving.

How are the reactions? Are you getting support from family and friends? Just a great look for you!

Thanks for the compliments. My wife is ok with my decision to shave, even though she prefers me with hair.  VWMYVD

Welcome Chuck , you have the head for the look. The longer you keep it shaved the more natural it will feel. Others will accept it as the new normal. Shaving get easier and faster with practice.

Wow, I'm surprised you don't have any shadow to start with, at least in that photo. The bald look may really suit you!

I have a lot of grey, which doesn’t show up as a shadow.  I probably had about a day’s growth in that picture.   I’m about 12 days in and happy with my look so far.

I stopped shaving for about 3 weeks, but ended up shaving again, one month ago today.  I enjoy the feeling of a freshly shaven head and my friends and family have accepted my new look!

Good going Chuck! You're probably getting a good routine established now. A couple more months and it will be hard to go back to hair. Glad to hear people are accepting your new hairstyle. You look awesome with a shaved head.
