Hello all. This is my first post to the forum. I'm almost 27 and my hair is thinning. I've had short hair all my life, mostly crewcuts & buzzes. I'm a pretty manly type of guy who's not sad about his hair going away lol. And, I've always thought alot of guys looked cool shaved slick. My brother in law shaves his head most of the time also. Of course he tells me to go for it haha. He also says he'd be happy to do the deed for me. My sister says she'd be totally cool with having a bald brother and that I'd look handsome as well. She says I'd be one of her two favorite bald men! Other girls I know have also told me I'd look fine absolutely bald, and that they'd prefer a clean-shaven head to thinning hair. I'm just wondering if everyone on here agrees. Also, how does it feel to be hairless? Is it comfortable? Here's some pics of me. My hair is kinda long right now, just haven't taken the time to get a haircut lately. You can see my hair loss too.

I think it would be an improvement over the thinning hair. Go for it.
-
Welcome! Two things in your favor are: 1. you've come to terms about being a bald guy and 2. You have great beard coverage that would go great with a shaved head. Good luck and let us know how it goes! Also, your BIL is a great source for tips and upkeep...(maybe you could get him to join the forum too >:D)
-
There's only one way to find out.........'
-
Yep; time to get rid of the scraps!
-
no reason not to, just do it.
-
Shaved would be a definite improvement or your current style. And you have family already on board, which it the largest obstacle for most guys. As to comfort, your scalp will have a cool or cold feeling as it will be exposed to air, most of us find it a refreshing feeling. Nothing feels better than a smooth scalp though, well almost nothing.

Thanks for all the advice. I dug up a couple pics from when I had a real close buzz when I was 17. My hair was way thicker back then hahaha.

Personal opinion: you will look great shaved. Keep the beard.
-
Oh the beard will stay lol. And do most ladies like a chromedome?
-
You will look fine with a shaved head.
Any lady who has hangups over a bald head is focusing on triviality.
It feels very nice.
Welcome. You've come to the right place.
-
Every woman that I have dated or married never had a bad word to say about my bald head. In fact, I let them shave me a couple of times!
-
Give the shaved head a shot! Since you get buzzcuts pretty regularly already, a lot of people already think of you as a guy that shaves his head. If you decide the maintenance or look of a chromedome isn't for you, you'll be back to buzzcut length in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guys. Really great group here. My friend Josh has a bald neighbor,a nd he tells me that once all my hair's gone, I won't miss it and will be glad. i've also been told showering and swimming will be a whole new experience lol.
-
Yes, swimming and showering with a bald head is very nice. New experience. Great feel. The water from your hair does not run down in your eyes anymore.
-
Women...I would say I'm very average looking and I've been approached from behind at a bar with a girl rubbing my bald head.
My hair was like yours...key word was. Bald is better.
-
So I'm not some dude that tries to pick up women, being that I'm happily married... but I have been approached by more women in the last 6 months since I shaved my head then the last 2 years combined. Calvo is dead on.
-
There is nothing like the feel of a freshly shaved head. I find the lack of hair makes the warmer weather easier to handle. To be honest, the cold weather feels a bit colder, but get yourself a good hat and there are no problems. Seriously though, I do not miss having hair. I have a full head of thick hair and I take great pleasure in shaving it off every day. Once you live as a bald man (30 day challenge) you will never want to go back.
-
Too true. I've enjoyed my shaved dome for nearly 12 years.
