Hello everyone I'm a newbie
Bronco:
I just registered here. I have a full head of long hair which I wear in a ponytail. In 45 days I'm donating my hair to Wigs For Kids after which my head will be shaved to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
I haven't come to fully accept my impending baldness. While I know by going bald I'm helping children I still am uneasy about having a bald head.
That's why I joined this forum. I hope among other things I can learn to shave my head properly and that some of the moxie of the proud bald members here rubs off on me. Sorry for being so long winded :)

that's an awesome thing to do Bronco! O:O
Welcome to the group.
You'll find out everything you need to know about being bald from these guys, in fact,
I reckon you'll love being bald so much, you won't wanna grow your
hair back! O0
Tyler:
Welcome Bronco!! That is an awesome thing that you're doing. If you don't mind, can you post up some more information about Wigs for Kids? I know of a similar organization called St. Baldricks, but have never heard of Wigs for Kids.

First, welcome dude, and enjoy the site, it rocks. Second, great cause you are doing this for, very admirable of you.
As far as being uneasy, it's natural. We all went through it, and there are times all of us nitpick it to death in a mirror/by creating a mental image of how it should look and it not matching up. I promise you I do.
But the thing to remember is that your eyes and smile are dominant now(and boy it becomes easy to smile) and trust me on this, try rubbing your head after you get it smooth. No feeling in the world like it, it's that good. Lastly, just wait until you start getting into the cold shower routine after shaving, that also feels really good. It's cold but you don't really feel it as the water runs down the head. Great, great feeling.
Bronco:
Thank you all for your kind words. And yes Tyler, sure I can post more information. The organization that I am shaving to raise funds for is St. Baldrick's. This link will provide more information and show a picture of what my hair looks like now: http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/shavee_info.html?ShaveeID=1773#
The reason I chose Wigs For Kids to donate my hair to is because it has a lot of grey in it. The person I spoke with at WFK assured me that is fine. They dye grey hair and make wigs for children with platinum blonde hair.
I get a free haircut from participating salons that collect hair for WFK. After that I'll need to get my head shaved either at a barber shop ( haven't been in one of those in years :o ) or take a crack at doing it myself.
I've read a couple posts here and there about the headblade. Can a newbie manage one of those for a first shave? :/O
