Go Down

Newb to the forum.... by baldbiker on 05 May, 2008 18:53
I've been cutting my hair with my beard and face trimmer (cutting length to the lowest guard setting) for about a month now....

I finally took the plunge to go bare 4 days ago...

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

It's a nice change of pace!

Here's my question - I have zero signs of MPB, and some folks at work are giving me a hard time stating "Only balding guys shave their heads"..

What are your thoughts on this?

Also - I'm sure this topic has been hit, so I'm hoping I'm not bringing up old trash threads with this question... I'm just curious.

I will put an avatar up of my bald head for everyone shortly.

Welcome bro!

Funny people will just assume that I might be losing my hair until they "really look"...then they say hey you have all your hair!

i just say, i dig the whole bald look and would rather not deal with hair...then most agree bald suits me anyways..

just wear it how you like it, shave it smooth everyday for at least a month , then they'll all just forget YOU with hair!

So cool you dig it brother...nothin' like it!

First off, Welcome to the forum BaldBiker. Glad you made the journey to the sly side.

As far as your coworkers comments ,they are obviously misinformed. There are plenty of guys ,many on this very site, who have a full head of hair and choose to shave it off.Myself included.

First off, Welcome to the SBG family baldbiker, we're glad that you've joined us.

Seccondly, I like many others here on this site am BBC (Bald By Choice) and am damn proud of it. Don't worry about what others think or say, you only need to do what's best for you, they are just worried about their own insecuraties, and are amazed at the guts you have to break from the norm and find your own path.

Pic is up...

Also - I used a mach something or other the first time I shaved my head... It left lots of stubble behind.

Today I used my facial electric razor (braun synchro I think) and I can't even feel hair on my head now! Feels like my dome is made of leather

BaldBiker, welcome to Sly Bald Guys! The look suits you. As for others comments, they just wish they had the nerve to do it.

It looks awsome baldbiker, those coworkers of yours don't know what they're talking about. I think that they are just intimidated by the new you!!!

Wow - what a great forum you have here!

You guys are great - I appreciate all the positive feedback.

I'm not worried about what the coworkers have to say - they are aquaintences by force not choice, so they can kiss my backside!

I was just curious if it was normal feedback to non balding - BBC guys like myself.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Yeah like the rest of the brothers I also have a full head of hair. (ONLY KIDDING) There are guys here who are BBC. It is a rocking look whether you are MPB or BBC.
