Hi, glad to be here
« on: December 25, 2006, 10:32:14 PM »
Well, I took the plunge on Christmas night. Like many I had progressively gone from a #2 clipper, to a #1 for the last few weeks, to no guard for the last few days.  I have had some good complements regarding head shape and the look of the short cut, so tonight I decided to finish the job.  A few glasses of wine helped with the reservations. But I am very happy.  It feels good and I look forward to seeing the results tomorrow.  My wife says tonight she likes a little hair better, but she is willing to give it a chance.

Thanks to everyone in the forum, I have been reading for a few weeks waiting for the right time.  I had intended to wait until after the holidays, but am glad I did it now.  Going to keep it protected for a few days, living in SC I should get some sun over the next week or so.  Hoping to get things a little more even soon.

I will try to post a progress report soon.

Andy

Looks really good man. Merry Christmas

Thanks for all the complements, and encouragement.  My wife even said this morning that she thinks it looks really good.  I will try to get a better pic. took that last night on my iSight on my MacBook, lighting not very good.  I am going to the Virgin Islands for 5 days next week, so I am trying to get a little sun this week, and a lot of sunscreen next. 

I hope all had a Merry Christmas.

Congrats on taking a plunge that you'll not regret!  Your bald look works well for you.  Welcome to the group!  Enjoy the islands (don't forget sun block for all the that fresh skin on the dome), and we'll be here looking forward for updates.

Congrats on your decision and welcome to slybaldguys!

I give your wife two weeks and she will be loving your head. Just wait until the head rubs start!

Just make sure your wife is the one rubbing or she might get a wee bit jealous!

If it's not her, then don't get caught.

 :)Welcome, Andrewg. The look is really good on you; you've got great eyebrows and a strong chin, so you can carry it. The way you sailed right into the decision--and on Christmas night--should inspire all the guys teetering on the brink. Professor Melon
