Great post Razor X. If you are not a professional writer, you missed your calling. You posts have given me a lot of encouragement, but I remain on the fence. At this time, I am happy with my 1/16" buzzcut. Back in November, I went from 1/8 to 1/16, and am still getting used to it. From a short distance away, it appears that I am shaved and my head has a nice shine. Since I have a full head of hair, I like the feel of the stuble on the top of my head.

Thank you. If you're happy with the 1/16", then that's all that matters. I gradually went shorter over a period of time and when I got down to about that length, I decided to just go for broke. You should try it sometime,when you're ready just to see what it feels like. It only takes 3 or 4 days to grow out to 1/16".
I agree with you that a short buzz or just a hint of shadow can look good when the hairline is intact. It's when the hairline is in serious recession that it really does need to all come off. -

Great post Razor -- I couldn't agree more. Having this site was the ammunition I needed to take the plunge. While I'm still newly sly (just about my 2 month anniversary) - I couldn't be happier. You're right -- sly is totally mainstream. Nobody gives me strange looks and little old ladies don't run away when I walk down the hall. Thank you for the excellent post.

Thanks for the words of encouragment. I consider myself good looking and I do try to stay fit some would say a guys guy. Well I have been wearing a hair system for about 20 yrs, I have a wife and teeneage kids.
With all that said I'm thinking this is the weekend.........The piece is coming off! Should I warn family, co workers or just show up Monday with the drastic change in appearance?
Should I do the full shave or just leave the fringe?I am nervous and excited at the same time. Any words of wisdom?
Thanks!! -

In for a penny, in for a pound! Shave it all off, you'll never regret it. Balding is not so hot, bald, now I have found is seen by many ladies as hot, and very much in style. It's a great time to do it.
My experience would indicate the kids will pull back at first, but support you before the wife--kids are essentially pretty conservative when it comes to what their parents do. But they also rebound quickly--the rug may make that different if they've secretly thought it a bit of a joke, a real possiblity.
The wife, tell her it's an extra night out a month from the savings on mainenance.
Co-workers will probably not say too much, except those that really like it.
But you're forgetting the important person in all this, YOU- you are really going to like it, that we can promise. That's what you really do it for anyway. -

Ahoy, Mates. Like Rob6, I too was persuaded by RazorX's wisdom three years ago when I embraced my baldness and shaved it all off. Wish the forum had existed way back when.... As to Razor's posts, Amen, Brother, and Amen. Professor Melon

Thanks Guys.. This place is awesome. I have been considering for years shaving my head but couldnt bring myself to do so. I posted on my FB page a photoshopped pic yesterday to see what peoples oppinions were and while they were pouring in, I was reading about it and found this site. I read until 4 am in the morning and finally took the plunge.
I will post pics soon but wanted to say thanks and I like it better than I thought. Still not sure if I am ready to keep it but at least I know I could pull it off and the fear is gone. Like so many have said I now also feel a true freedom .
Thanks again for a wonderful site. -

If you read, then you know about the 30 day rule--please try it. You sound like this has been taking a lot of your energy worrying about it. It's gone, as are your worries. -

Thanks, I think it was just because I didnt really know how I would look and just getting the nutz to do it, this website helped me grow those nutz. I like it so the 30 days shouldnt be hard but just not sure if I will keep it yet, I DO like it though.. And all the fear is now gone.
