Hey everyone!
I've been lurking here for a while and finally gathered up the courage to join the conversation.
I'm a makeup artist and a barber, I've had a buzzcut in every possible length and did it with clippers but a month ago finally had a barber friend shave me with a single blade (completed with the lather and hot towel) and there was no going back.
Being bald makes me feel like myself and having a bbs head is a daily source of happiness and confidence.
I've gotten tons of compliments and the only criticism I've gotten has been from my mom.

Welcome to the site and to baldness!
After ourselves, I think our mothers tend to be our most prominent critics. No matter how old we are, we are still children in their eyes and they can't resist commenting / trying to "improve" us.
Totally sly, looks great!
Welcome ScaraBerry!! You look great, totally suits you!
Welcome. Sounds like you're hooked.
I know exactly what you mean by the mother comment. Nearly a decade after first head shave, my mother still grumbles hahaha.
