Close Shave

Also, it's good for you to know that most people don't notice the shadow as much as you do. We tend to be very critical about ourselves. gu!l+)

Well if you are asking can you eliminate the grey shadow, the answer is no(unless you want electrolysis or use makeup). That's because even as we shave our head if you can grow back hair, your incoming hair and its color mixed with the skin tone looks that grey/white color. If you look at my pic under my name, you can see it clearly.
I had brown hair so I have the same thing. And since i was not balding, everywhere I shave on top you can see the shadow.
Nobody else notices I promise. You are focused on the face(eyes/smile) when you are bald. This is why I say we are always harder on ourselves than others.

I think what you learn after a while is it's about all the fun aspects of the process more than how it looks in every mirror you come across.
By that I mean, stuff like putting the shaving cream on and laughing at the snowman look you have going on, the feel of the cold shower on the smooth head(it isn't that cold because it just runs right off), and the feel of running your hands over your smooth head. Also, the times you feel a breeze from the A/C in the house. And lastly, something I personally find fascinating: the ability to grip your own head like you were palming a basketball.
That and never having to pay for a haircut trumps any nitpicking we might do.

i have to argue the cold shower thing. it feels good on the head but send my upper body into shock. :o :o

Let me put it this way. I hate cold anything. I like warm weather/hot weather. I hate freezing cold.
But cold water on the shaved head is like you don't really feel the full effect of the coldness. But it is too damn cold for the rest of me so that's why you won't catch me staying under one for too long.
