She may not like it, but she's been great about it. She's always thought I had a big head and this just makes it look that much bigger. In her words, the fringe "softens" the look.
Not much I can do about the big head.

I sorry to say I haven't been getting the head rubs. I must be hanging out in the wrong places.
Congrats! Post up some before and after pics if you can.
I finally got me some of those head rubs. I'm not too proud to admit that I had to ask for a couple, but some were offered up, too.
Either way, it's all good.
Hey: guess I'm a bit late, but welcome and congrats on the 'new you', Unc - stick around
Hey uncle p, a late welcome to you. Glad you decided to join us here at SBG's, and big thumbs up on just going for it!
Like the bro's said, the new confident you will "shine" through, lol, and then the wife should come to accept it as who you are.
Post up on some of your routine so you can get some input on blades and technique.
Good luck, and keep it smooth!
Welcome!
Headshaving takes a little time to get down... after a few more times you will have it down.
