Title: Yahoo, ten years a baldie!
Post by: reddog on June 09, 2023, 10:48:34 AM
I just hit my 10 year baldiversary! Ten years ago I decided to give myself a one time buzzcut, that ended up in a complete headshave. To my surprise, my girlfriend loved it and wanted me to keep it. That's when I found this website, and I decided to try the 30 day challenge. Almost everyone liked to bald look, and soon I did too.

Over the years, I've attempted to grow my hair back many times, but I always return to a smooth shaved head. I've also met some great people here, and have enjoyed the conversations.

Congratulations! Didn’t know you wore your hair like that! Did you ever think you would be shaving this long?

@Razorhead , not in my wildest dreams did I think I would wear a shaved head! Yes, my hair was pretty long before I shaved it. It was quite a shock.

Congratulations on the 10!

I think it has been over 12 for me, but I do not know the exact date.

It's a beautiful hot summer day in Minnesota! I sat at the patio table this morning, with lawn sprinkler going, had coffee, breakfast, then got a bowl of hot water and soap and a fresh razor and did a BBS headshave outdoors. Love the feel of the breeze on my head while shaving!

@reddog sounds like a nice relaxing morning. I’ve never used shaved soap. What kind of soap did you use?

Believe it or not, I just use Dial coconut water bar soap. It's very slippery and works great for me.

@Semi-Sly , haha, I never thought of that before, but you're right! That was when I lived on the gulf Coast of Florida, my beach bum look. Stress from my job was making my hair thin a bit, and I lost alot of weight before I shaved my head.

Congrats on your tenre!  I guess you're in it for the long haul.  I've tried growing mine but I just can't stand it after a few days!  Keep it shaven because it's really a much better look on you!

TEN YEARS!  I'm about 4 or 5 years now.  I can't imagine ever growing it back.  I like it this way.  The ten year mark will creep up pretty fast.  I'm not even counting anymore.

Yes, I keep thinking about the day of my first shave. I finally got the green light from my honey to do a one time buzzcut. When I finally put the 0000 blade on, it was just stubble, so I got in the shower with a razor and shaved my head. My honey was shocked, but later that day she asked me to keep it shaved. That's when I found this website, and decided to do the 30 day challenge. Of course at the end of 30 days I was hooked! 10 years later...........
