What made you STAY bald?

Feeling very clean and healthy, more masculine and self confident, very pleasant sensation when touching my smooth dome, I love the shine.

I don't have much to grow back.

Aside from not being a able to grow a decent head of hair, I can look at a gorgeous head of hair on a guy….and think….”that’s just not me anymore”. Even though there are a lot of guys with shaved heads, I still think it’s a unique ballsy look.

@Razorhead , I agree, I just don't feel right without a smooth head. When I try to grow my hair back, it just isn't what it was 10 or 15 years ago. Years ago, I remember how important it was to keep up with the newest haircut trends. Thank goodness we are living in a time that anything goes for haircut choice!

I also believe it takes a special kind of guy to consciously choose to wear a totally shaved head. It definitely makes a statement!

I let my hair grow for five or six days last summer when I was on vacation.  I was glad to shave it off when I got home.  There’s nothing like the feeling of a smoothly shaved dome!

Every time I see the subject line of this thread, I just want to say a Gillette Fusion keeps me bald.

What made me stay bald?

In March 2012, took the 30 days Sly Bald Guys trial. Liked my new slick bald smooth shaved head.

Been bald for nearly a decade. It's the only look I know.

Love the feeling of my freshly shaved head and the shine.

Growing up I always had long hair as an act of rebellion as the groupthink of my town was that boys should only have short hair which I thought was stupid since girls could have long or short hair. However, I always had a fascination with bald heads and thought they looked cool. I kept getting the urge to shave my head, but always chickened out because I strongly attached my hair to my identity. I finally did it in college and loved it, but I was overwhelmed by the shock of the change. I grew it back out, but kept getting the urge to shave it off. I did it on and off for a while, but I started to really hate how hair looked no matter what I did with it and fully committed shaving my head. It still took me a while to adjust, but now I can’t imagine growing it back.

Looks good.  You have a nice beard as well.  Have you though about growing a large beard?  Big red beards are my favorite, especially with a shaved head.  I suggest you give it a try, at least before it starts turning gray.

LOL, what's wrong with a big grey beard?

A big grey beard can come in handy around Christmas if you're into the santa thing!

Second time this week I skipped my morning shave. It was 28 degrees today and I had to do leaf cleanup and gutter cleaning, so I wanted to wear a stocking hat. Most of us know the damn thing will not stay on with a freshly shaved head. With one days growth it sticks like Velcro! Definitely looking forward to a BBS head tomorrow.

[clint902]

Oh,  I know all about velcro!  Sometimes in the dead of winter I wear a sock at bed time and when I take it off in the morning, I have to peel it off.  Now that's a trip!

Big gray beards are great!   

But for guys that still have color, they should try a bead in full color while they can.
