First Guys You Knew With Shaved Heads

<< < (3/11) > >>

zetaeffe:
I guess the first one I saw completely bald was a boy in the 70s.
I remember I was about 10 years old at the time, and he was
4-5 years older than me, he lived in my same street.

Actually he was not shaven, am almost sure he had alopecia,
and was completely sly... can't remember exactly if he still
had his eyebrows or he had lost all the hair from his body
(i know he don't has the brows now, at least the last time
I've seen him around).... anyway am sure it had been very hard
for him at that time, bald was not usual as it's not, and I remember
hearing my mom talking about him with somebody about this
ilness that caused complete hair loss, almost scared about it...

I remember he was taking his hairloss well, at least
from the outside it looked like he was pulling out his baldness
in a cool way... thinking about him now I can only admire his
strenght if I think how hard it should have been for him, expecially
thinking he was 14 and he was in the 70s!

No need to tell that I was really curious about this guy... guess I
already had the wish to be sly at the time... sure it was a look
that fascinated me... I remember that once while we were at a
sumemr camp I asked him if he was Yul Brynner's relative  :o
(how stupid I was... but remember I was a kid at that time...)
and he was cool enough to reply: "Yes, he's my uncle!"  O0

skiking:
The first person that I knew that shaved his head was a celebrity in certain circles.  I should keep his name secret because he received a bunch of death threats after writing an autobiography and has been living off the grid for the last 15 years.  While I seriously doubt that anybody here would murder anybody, it is the internet anybody can find stuff if they want to.

When in the Army, and out in the field, I would resort to cold water and my ever present SAFETY RAZOR....God that hurt, but it kept me neat and tidy.

By todays standards that was Barbaric

I knew several bikers back in the late 70's and early 80's they were very confident in their look....

Brkeatr:
My wife's uncle whom I met in 1964 and he is now in his 80's and still sly......

Tyler:
My dad's high school math teacher visited us when I was about 8 years old.  I think we have a picture of him somewhere, so I'll try to get it and post it up.  The dude rocked the Sly look.
