Welcome L2L! You and I are in a pretty similar situation, although I was a little older. I was worried about what people would say and the guys here convinced me to go for it (not so much directly, but through their posts to others.) I am so glad that I did. My family loves it and the ladies seem to like it too (my wife's not too thrilled with that part.)
Anyways, enjoy it. I have learned to accept being bald and it made me feel much better about myself. You look great bald and I am sure that it makes you feel better too.
