Title: New baldy from Luxembourg, Europe
Post by: rrohde on November 30, 2009, 05:23:15 AM: Hi guys,

Two days ago I decided I wanted to go bald and just went for it. Well, this was after a hair-dying accident that left my already short hair in patches of various colors. Don't ask - but my wife "messed it up". :)

Anyway, that little incident was the reason to finally go all the way and shave my head. I started with an electric clipper then used my Wilkinson Quattro to finish it off.

Guess what, guys - this for me was an enormously liberating experience! I don't know how else to say it. I haven't felt that good about myself in ages, but I cannot put my finger on it what exactly it is, but I just feel more confident than ever before. Guess I was never really happy with my hair to begin with (thus the gone-wrong experiment with hair color I mentioned earlier).

And now, with no hair, I feel that I am finally where I wanted to be in the looks department. Did any of you feel the same way regarding feelings of liberation? lol

One thing's for sure - this look is here to stay! :)

Cheers,
Rainer

Congrats on that newly found confidence!

And - just a quick question for you all: Do any of you guys use hair-removal creme for a smooth scalp? If so, which kind? What are some pro and cons in doing so? Just wondering how you guys combat the stubble.

Post by: Papa Don on December 06, 2009, 08:02:51 AM: Rainer, don't use the hair removal cream. It will eat you scalp. I bought some and did a test patch. Burned like the dickens and left a red irratated spot for days. Stubble is a constant problem for us but the constant shaving will become like a spiritual ritual.
