William, confidence is not just something that you get overnight.  You need to continue to work on it.

Why not start by posting an avatar that contains a real photo of yourself? Hiding isn't going to do anything for your confidence.

Heck, if I can put my ugly puss out there for everyone to see, anyone can!

Started shaving 3 months ago and got used to it after I found THE SLY site. Great place to find how to and not to do. Stay focused Brother in SLY we trust.

Only took me a couple days to get used to being sly.
I like it much much better than before so that made it easy.

Have had very short hair for a looong time. Wife normally just buzzed it with a 2 or 3. So I decided here a week or so ago to just shave it all off. So far so good, but its going to take a little longer to get used to, and a little longer to get the shaving technique down path. Need to get some color on the noggin too.

I never thought about if I accepted the look or not.  When I shaved my head I was in the Army and 2 days after I shaved I was being yelled at by my Ranger Instructors at the top of their lungs, so thinking about how I looked with a clean nogging never crossed my mind for about 20 weeks.

I've liked it on others too, so my adjustment has just been more catching myself in a mirror and remembering (happily) what it looks like.

I cant remember if I posted here'  For me, it was instant. My only question was why I didnt lather up sooner becuase I always wanted to get rid of my clipper shave anyway.

After 2 weeks of being at school/work no one said anything about it.  I got used to myself in the mirror about 2 weeks as well.  But you'll have to allow a longer time for bumping into people around town and stuff. 
There's always.  "Why'd you do that man?"  Or "That looks so awesome!"
I give a different answer each time.  Usually something about not wanting to cover up my beautful skull with hair.  One jackass I know from back in the day called me "just eyebrows" for awhile.  He kept on telling me to grow it back, but that just let me know that he didn't realize the reason I did it in the first place.

Honestly,,, as soon as I shaved it I loved it,, am I "used"  No  but in a good way. I have fought with super thick hair all my life, it's not all it's cracked up to be. I go from no hat, to hard hat, to no hat,, looks ugly put a hat on blah blah blah. Now with it sly,, Piece of cake, looks the same no matter what it goes through. I wear a skull cap under the hard hat to lessen the marks from the suspension of the hard hat.
