Title: Finally did it...
Post by: yep_yep on June 24, 2008, 01:46:45 PM
So I finally forced myself to buzz my hair to #0 on clippers, so I'm practically bald now. My headshape actually looks better when there's 0 hair, it looks more round. I thought, what the f**k, it will grow back to my usual 3 mm in a fucking week, so why not try it? I've done this only once before and I didn't like it... I still not like it too much but it's growing on me a bit. I'm gonna post some pics tomorrow.

Since you're this close, you need to go climb in the shower, get out the Schick and shave gell or Headslick and finish it off totally bald.  Come into the brotherhood of the permanently bald!

Good job!   Don't worry about liking it just yet -- it takes time to adjust to a new look.  Now would be the perfect time to shave it smooth, BTW.  It will only take 2 or 3 days to grow back to where it is now.  You're so close -- it would be a shame not to see things through completely.   :)

I remember being scared the first time I shaved my head, just do one of these... "OOH WHOOPS I SHAVED OFF A LITTLE TOO HIGH ON MY SIDEBURN... WELP GUESS I"LL JUST HAVE TO SHAVE TEH WHOLE HEAD NOW!"  ;)

Congratulations yep_yep.  O0

You were so concerned about your head shape. See, it turns out that it's round. Don't be so hard on yourself. We are all our worst critics.

Glad to here that this look is "growing" on you. Give it a few more days.

Way to go Yep Yep.  Welcome to the brotherhood ... and see, it wasn't such a big deal!
Title: Re: Finally did it...
Post by: yep_yep on June 24, 2008, 03:25:14 PM
I have seen my headshape before, I buzzed to #0 1.5 years ago... it's rounder than I remembered alright, especially from the side view. I hate the coneheadnedness from the front view though. It ain't over yet, my family and friends have yet to see it.

Congrats, it takes a lot of guts to take the plunge.  But why stop there?   Finish it off!! ;D

Stay strong, my man, and show us some pics.  I think it probably looks great.

Right On Yep-Yep!!!! I've been waiting to hear that you finally took the plunge. Now go in there, get your head all lathered up and step on over to the Sly side of life, Brother. O:O

congrats, yep_yep.  I'm not just saying this, bro, but I think you have a great head shape, and you certainly suit the shaved look.  You've nothing to be worried about if and when you finally take the plunge and shave it all off.  looks good to me O0
Title: Re: Finally did it...
Post by: north on June 24, 2008, 06:00:55 PM
Seriously, yep_yep, I think the buzz looks great. Get that head tanned and it'll look killer.

You've got nothing to worry about, my man.

It looks fine.  I don't know what you're seeing but there's nothing wrong with your head shape -- really!!  Just enjoy it.  There's plenty of guys that would love to be in your position.  Don't be so hard on yourself.

Dude..it looks great...you are no way and ugly c*nt!..

You've got chiseled Normadic features...and I think the shaved bald head shows it off pretty good!

DO NOT be hard on yourself...it looks awesome..really, you should try shaving it totally slick bald...you'll look like Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor from Smallville)...

Very nice! O0

You know, you're right -- with that little bit of stubble removed, he'll look like Rosenbaum's twin.

Ugly C*NT? Are you kidding me? Believe me I've seen some ugly c*nt's before  :XX and you have no resemblance to them at all. You look great!!! 8) Michael Rosenbaum's twin I swear! O0

I agree with RazorX; I would love to have your jawline.  There's a reason you don't see my side view as an avatar -- no chin/chiseled jawline and less-than-ideal head shape.  Yep_yep, you have both!!!  I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it.  If I see someone who doesn't look good with a shaved head, I say nothing.  And Andre is right... deadringer for Michael Rosenbaum.  Don't get weak in the knees on us.  We've been hard on you, but you've finally done it (not shaved, but close); give it time.  You will grow to love it.

Yep_Yep, congrats on taking this big step for you.  I know you've battled back and forth for awhile but honestly you have a great head shape!  I think RazorX hit it right on the money - you've got a great jawline and you're definitely Michael Rosenbaum's twin.  Good for you!  Go ahead & shave it down with a razor - if you don't like it it will always grow back out!  Keep us posted.

i was thinking the same about the jawline.  Mine sort of just disappears into my neck ;D  well, maybe not quite that bad, but it's the reason I don't like side view pics of my head!  yep_yep, you have a great jawline.  You have nothing to fear O0

The third one is actually the one I dread the most... head looks weird from that certain angle (and from some other angles aswell). It actually looks like a female head or something, very feminine IMO. I don't like it.

Well...remember this brother...in life we are constantly moving...that third pic you hate is not a view people see all the time..or yourself that matter..

you're a good lookin' dude and you should be happy to have that...

I think SLY or the shorter buzz looks WAY better...plus being bald is NOT a feminine look...so if you're concerned you look too fem...shave brother...

sh!t Brittany S. isn't even bald these days...

it's a dude thing! O0

just get used to it for a couple weeks before saying you don't like it...give the buzz bald time bro!

Try a razor and if you don't like it, it will grow back in five days to your existing length.  How do the women like your look?  I'm sure they like it.  Any Lois Lanes out there??

A little update on my situation... still buzzing my hair, but I returned to my usual 3 mm immediately when the hair grew out. Didn't get any comments or anything, I just like the longer buzz better as I still got some hair. I won't have the option for too long.
