New guy here, help me out! EDIT: I DID IT!

[PigPen]

Yup, do it. Give it the 30 day trial and I bet you'll lose track of the days after a week. Like Paul said, you were born to wear the SLY look.

Welcome ZBD2k!  You've come to the right place for advice and support.  IMO, you rock the bald look!  Take control and shave it slick!  

[shakf]

I'm only gonna repeat what the rest of the guys have already said. GET RID OF THE RUG!

[Rafter]

Here are several reasons for shaving:

-ease of maintenance
-it's cooler and I sweat like a....
-it looks tough and intimidating
-nothing for someone to grab in a fight
-high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor

Thanks so much guys, your support means a lot to me. I'm going to try and do it this weekend. I'm still pretty nervous though!

Once you pull the razor across the top of your head and see the skin...you'll WANT to get through the "nervous" to get to the new, WAY BETTER you! 

Good luck bro...you'll LOVE it!

Hey, I'm brand new to the shaved head thing too.... (it's only been about a week now)

I'm 27 years old, I work in the mortgage field, and I am not thinning - at all..

I have made the choice to be bald - and so far - I LOVE IT!

The feeback from my employees, the feeback from this site, my family, and even strangers is great!

If you decide to take the razor to it - let us all see!!!

I understand how you feel now... it's difficult to take the first step, but once
everybody sees your new look the problems are over...

A way to make it easier for you is to tell everybody that you are going to
try the bald look: this way it won't be a shock, instead it will be expected
so you won't have the typical "Oh my God!" and "what have you done??"
because they already know you are going to do it!.
Actually people will encourage you cause they will get curious!

Good luck and let us know how things will go!

It's funny you mention that because I've already taken those measures. I started a new job about two months ago, and I told a few people that "I shave it all off in the summer time". The way I look at it, I'm halfway shaven anyway (since I shave the top for the hair piece). It's just the sides and back that I need to take care of. I'm supposed to do my weekly "re apply" for my hair piece tonight, this includes removing the piece and shaving the top portion of my dome. We'll see if I have the balls to shave it all off! I want to do it but I'm so nervous.
