You'll make it.  It takes time.

You won't regret it though.

My recommendation for you is to not allow yourself to chicken out next time. You will thank yourself once it's done. Bring a friend who is supportive of you and let them know your plan. They will help you with courage when the going gets tough. Just think of all the money you will save and how much cooler you will look.
Bald is ageless. Bald-ING makes us men feel older. Take the plunge and take several years off the age you perceive yourself as.

Go for it!  Just allow the first cut,  it'll go easy after that!

It's like anything... the more you stall, the worse you imagine things will be.  Then when you finally do it you're like all... WTF!  Why didn't I just do it in the first place?  :*))

Go for it bro... we have all been there and are all saying go for it!  O0

Oh yeah, welcome aboard!  O:O

There's nothing to fret about!  I went from having hair (although a little thin on top) to basically a clipper shave in about 4 weeks!  Each time I got it cut shorter.....I wanted it even shorter!  I knew I was going to do it all along and had no apprehension at all....taking it in stages was fun and if that suits you, I say take your time but you're at a #2 now....go get the #1....trust me....you're going to like the look and then your on the way!

Ive found that barbers generally arent too keen on head shaving...(less business for them).
Just pop in the shower, lather up the head and shave.  Keep the facial hair...you will dig it man.
You will have a shadow back IN A DAY !
You dont really need a barber to do it...just be careful.
Shave your head.....free your mind.

Stop torturing yourself and do the deed lol.  If you're curious about it and you won't stop thinking about it till you try it out.  Everyone is a little anxious at first, but I'm sure you've read some of these testimonials.  It's funny how most of them end with: "Why didn't I do this earlier?".

You can do it bro!  Whatever is holding you back is just a result of unnecessary fears.  You'll be happy you did it when you're done.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Ditch the barber grab yourself a mach III and do it in front of your bathroom mirror.  I havent taken to balness that easily but there was no feeling like that first time 3 years ago in front of a mirror in budapest, my whole look changed there and then from then in spite of occasionally not getting on with it all the time, i will never be balding again - i will always be bald!!  - Just do it! :D
A SBG's head shines so other SBG's always have the opportunity to see the reflection of how good they look!
