The first person I met was a fireman for the Boeing Company named Ed. He had shaved since he was 19 yrs old and he was probably in his 40's when I met in in the early 1990's. He was a regular customer of mine at a store that I worked at.
The second was a courier that serviced the same store. He had very thinning hair and only one arm. Then one day he showed up shaved and kept it that way as long as I knew him.
The last was a fellow named Lee. He was a friend of one of my co-workers. He was a big guy in his 20's. His nickname was, "Uncle Fester". He wasn't balding, but rocked the sly look. Particularly after meeting him, I started seeing the sly look as an option. Finally in 1997, I took the plunge for an extended period of time. The rest is history!

The dad of an elementary school friend of mine was the first guy I knew with a shaved head.
He was a very cool guy.

First person I ever met or knew that was bald was the owner of our local Ponderosa steakhouse back in oh...prolly 86-87. His name ..and I still remember it today...MR GOLDTREE. Man I couldnt stand that guy. I worked there and he told me that I had to shave off my mustache that it wasnt acceptable for appearence and for health reasons. I ignored him. Heck I was only 16-17 years old I didnt care..hell it was just a job at Ponderosa. He came back about 3 months later and I hadnt shaved it yet. He grabbed me by the ear and pulled me back to the kitchen and scolded me because I just absolutely ignored him. I argued teh fact that it was acceptable to have a mustache because I called the local health department. He told me to never step over him again or I would be fired. I smarted off to him and said you know...you are just jealous. Jealous I tell ya...because you cant grow hair! ...lol He just turned around and walked away and said I was dismissed for the day! I didnt care...because it was a saturday.....lol

First person I ever really knew with a shaved head was my barber, who was BBC, about 2001. Before that, I can't say that I noticed much. The nearest I came to knowing anyone with a shaved head was a guy in college when I was twenty. He shaved the back and sides and had a bleached flat-top. I thought it looked really cool, but didnt have the balls to do it myself, even though he tried to encourage me to.

I've seen a few here and there while I was growing up, but not alot. Once I reached middle school it had become more common and popular. I had met my neighbor Eric who probably has one of the most shadow free domes I have ever seen. Although he wasn't my inspiration to really do it, if it wasn't for him though I wouldn't be where I am today, so for that I am greatful. He was one of the first thoughs.

This is annoying
I seem to have a memory block, I can't remember the first sly guy I noticed in childhood and I'm sure I must've.
More recently, I 'd say buddies from my first year away from home at Uni and there's always Stone Cold Steve Austin !!!

First guy I knew that was sly was a Chief on the USS Bainbridge in 1994ish... He caught a lot of hell for it at the time because the old uniform regulations specifically said you couldn't shave your head. However, the regs changed and he did it and then had to prove to the CO and CMC that he was within regs, which he was!
And he was the first one that supported me to shave my head, which I did... for about 6 months that time.
