Expect the unexpected
Laser Man:
Something that surprised me was that some people seemed intimidated by me when I first began shaving my head. I suddenly was getting more deference and "sir" from strangers. Granted that was nearly 10 years ago when shaved heads were a little less common.
I am bald by choice and that raised a lot of questions, e.g., "when are you going to grow your hair back?" and "why would you shave your head?" Those questions stopped after a few months.
What I like about being bald is how smooth and clean it feels. To be honest, I loved it from the first day I shaved and have not once regretted it.

One very unexpected thing that happened when I first began shaving was during a meeting with people from my company's Washington office. At a break, a female colleague walk behind me and rubbed my head quickly as she passed. She did it a second time that day and then again about a month later at another meeting. Sh complimented me on how I looked and then told me her husband shaves his head!

While a shaved head is not uncommon these days, it is still a distinctive look that people notice. A couple years ago, I was browsing around in a small store when I felt someone was following behind me. When I turned around, A young woman said she thought my head had beautiful skin, and it looked so healthy. It was summer and I was very tan, and I had just shaved and my head was shiny. It always nice to get a compliment!

A compliment like that is always nice to hear. One gal told me my hair was at just the right length. :*))

I was surprised by how quickly I liked it- instantly. I never wanted my hair back, and I started BBC. Now it is BBN. I loved the look, but was also surprised to learn that I love the feel just as much. That was very unexpected. I also did not expect the desire to keep it completely smooth.
