Well... Total noob, and I'm doing it tomorrow.
« on: October 19, 2007, 12:41:40 AM »
Hi all. I'm 19, have a pretty good hairline (but in the future, I can see, it'll be gone) and I have decided to shave it all off.

Mostly, I'm just posting because I think that if I don't commit somehow, I don't think I'll do it. Basically, I know I'll like it when it's done, but the thought of actually doing it is very intimidating. I like the look, I bet it feels great, and I want to do it, just very apprehensive.
So, yes, tomorrow, it shall be done. I hope.

That's all, it wasn't realy a question, but it's awesome to have a forum like this.
On a related note, if I haven't said I've done it by Saturday morning.. feel free to give me crap until I do it.  :)

Best Of luck shaving. Take your time and expect it to be white. Don't worry too much because it will always grow back if you dont like it.  O0 Post a pic when your done too

You'll like it. I started when I was 23 and wish that I had started earlier.

First off, welcome to the forum.  Glad we are here for you, you'll find plenty of support in your decision to go sly.  As far as backing out is concerned, once the idea to shave is in your head, it won't go away until you do it, as many of the brothers can attest.  It will look great and it DOES feel great.  Post up pics as soon as you do the deed.

Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Welcome.

Just go for it and don't look back, once toy break it in (couple of weeks) you will most likely never "grow" back.

WHY WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW...you should have gotten off teh computer and went and shaved it all off right then and there.....you wont be sorry bro.  I did the same thing, only thought about it for about 2 months then finally after wife said she was tired of seeing 5 oclock shadow on my head I went up stairs about 5 minutes after she said it and shaved it off.  Post up a pic bro so we can see how much better you will feel when you do it

Welcome NewShaver ....  Hope you follow through and shave it down close tomorrow.  Once  you've jumped the fence, you'll never go back.

Around here, you'll get alot more than that if we don't see a smooth, slick dome by tomorrow morning. :x!  But really, Brutha, we won't let you forget it.  You can run, but you can't hide.... >:D
