26 years old and just took the plunge
« on: October 15, 2015, 08:43:54 PM »
Hey guys,

  I started receding when I was about 20, I decided to start buzzing my hair then and kept it because I like the low maintenance aspect of it. I've been slowly buzzing it shorter since then with the shortest ever being a #1.

Well last night my #1 broke so I decided to go no guard.. I've always wondered what I would eventually look like when It all went away. It was a shock at first.. wasn't expecting it to be that short, my head is a little lumpy and pointy but not as bad as I thought it would be, it might just look weird because of how white my scalp is. I think I'll revisit this look in the summer when I can tan my head.

Welcome.  It looks great on you.  I always like the full beard and shaved head combo.  I suggest you give a razor blade shave a try, it will not look much different, but will have less of a shadow and the smooth feeling is awesome.

Welcome to the group!

It's a good look for you, keeping it short like that for a couple of weeks will help reduce the white swim cap affect many experience with the first shave.  The beard really completes the ensemble  O0

My dome is definitely not of a Charlie Brown mold either, it's more like a potato, but I think it just adds character to the look.

Looks awesome, especially with the beard!!!

No need to wait for summer. But that is your choice. I first shaved my head in January and never stopped since. Color came in fast enough.

I actually think it makes more sense to shave first in winter since you typically have less contrast between newly-exposed scalp and the remainder of the skin on your head.  I first shaved in January, too.

Welcome to the club! I think the no guard looks awesome. Deciding to get out the razor will happen sooner than you realize!

Welcome Primitive.  Good look for you!

You look great with the full beard.  Try a razor shave on your head.  You'll like it.
