"There are hundreds of reasons we can come up with why we can't shave our heads, but at the end of the day, the only thing that is stopping you is you -- not your parents, not your friends, not your boss, not your wife, and not your girlfriend.  Just you." 

That was the quote that stuck with me and helped me take the plunge last night. Thank you Razor and everyone else in the forum for the advice. Couldn't be happier now. Well that is until i get some sun on the melon to even out the color, but hey it'll come.

Glad that it helped, Rocco.  Welcome to the group.

Great post Razor.

I self esteem improved a lot since I took the plunge 3 years ago. Being bald is not that big a deal. I actually like the new look. People tell me I look a lot younger. It took awhile but I got there. Besides that - bald guys rock.

MPB?  Quintessentially male.  Shaved head?  What could be more 100% masculine?  Get out the razor; get out the lather.  Testosterone forever!

Hey guy - welcome

You looked good with the hair and you look, to my biased eye, even better sly.  I say give it the 30 days and then see how you feel about it.

It is a bit of an adventure and has given me an entirely different view on the daily shave.  I now look forward to it, which seems to be a pretty common switch for folks.

Thanks for all the kind encouraging words. Day 2 went well...no one looked twice at the gym and out shopping afterwards. I thought for sure there would be some staring.

That's usually how it goes Sity, it ends up being a non-issue.

Razor your quote on Jan 15... 'it's amazing how different things seem.  For one thing, you wonder what you were so afraid of." You are right on the money... I was afraid all along to do it. Then one night, I did it. And it was over. The first couple of days were odd. But nothing i couldnt handle. I love it now and should have done it years ago!

Great post.
