Been leaning towards taking the express lane to the inevitable and shaving the nugget. In my internet searches about being bald, I (obviously) came across this website, and am very glad that I did. A lot of good information, thanks to you all. I intend on going through the holidays with what little hair I have left. I am doing this out of respect for my wife (family photos, etc. etc.). She is not all that hot on the idea, but I want to do it for many reasons, none of least is the fact that I think my look will be greatly enhanced by going Kojak. It's funny, her comment on it was that "my forehead is too big". Granted, my hat size is 7 1/2", but aren't all "follically impaired" men suffering from huge foreheads to begin with? I just thought it was comical. Plus, if the look doesn't go over well, it'll always grow back, at least on the sides!!

To prep for the New Year shave, I was wondering if the forum could help me with a couple of questions...
1. First Shave...is the HeadBlade a good purchase for a "rookie"? From their website, it seems like it's a good move for someone not skilled in shaving their own head. In reading all the valuable input on these forums, it sounds like it'd be a good move for me.
2. I suffer from mild dandruff that only gets worse in the winter months. I was wondering if any of you have such dandruff and did it go away once you started shaving your head?

Thanks Guys,
Schro

Welcome Schro. you should find alot of helpful info here. as for the holidays; good idea to wait, i made that mistake a few years ago. when i shaved in jan all the holidays were over. did not want to go through all that crap with the wife again. i did have dandruff too. now i have a slight oily scalp. go figure. headblade products are great, but personally if i would have used the headblade first off, i probably would have grown my hair back. i found that it took some practice to get comfy with it. after you are then you will love it. alot of us are bladers. check out the headblade stuff. it really is good stuff.

Professor Melon:
 :D :Ahoy, do not be a wus. Shave it all off BEFORE the holiday so that you have to appear totally bald in public. As an acedemic and professional, I can state emphatically that your new bald look will go over and that you can say goodbye to all attempts to reverse baldness. Just do it. Face today and tomorrow. You probably have a beauriful head, so show it. Professsor Melon

David:
The bottom line is confidence.   If you have it regardless of bumps/scars whatever on the head, nobody will care.    If you approach it as a concession and are jealous/depressed about being bald then the ribbing will be there non stop.

I don't think it's being a wus in any way, shape, or form that I am opting to hold off until the New Year. It's more of a respect thing. I'll update my photo after the New Year.
