Long time shaver first time poster
Tyler:
2critical, I forgot to say welcome to Sly Bald Guys!
ar3inc:
Welcome to the group, 2critical. I'm glad Tyler sent you a message and now you made post! Bandwagon... ??? I have people around me trimming their hair in the summer months, but most don't have the guts to shave it.
Robmeister:
Welcome, 2critical-meister

I've not yet shaved...so that's a moot point here. I will say that I don't want it to catch on TOO fast. As that means eventually losing our "rara avis" (uniqueness).
I was at the gym yesterday and it was pretty crowded. So I looked around to see if there were any bald dudes and didn't see one (including myself) so if I were shaved, I would have held the "rara avis" at that point.
Professor Melon:
;D I haven'e seen a bandwagon effect yet, but my dome is fairly recent and some colleagues have not seen it. I am working on a younger cousin, whose hair is fast fading (and whose wife is not yet happy about his going the whole way). Tyler, the follow-up of your story about the guy who shaved without telling her, ran into apparently overpower balling, but who is now sporting a shiny head just made my day. The shock--nobody is comfortable with what is strikingly new--prevents people from being objective about choosing total baldness; once familiarity has become a reality, they can judge whether it complements a particular face. As RazorX commented some threads ago, most adult men look better bald--certainly better than balding or toupeed. Professor Melon
Johnny:
Welcome. Great guys, and great information.
I would say I'm one of those that jumped on the bandwagon. I know three or four guys who either trim real short or shave. I figure if those ya-hoos can do and look good, then I certainly have a chance.
