Title: This is the look I was trying to avoid
Post by: Razor X on January 13, 2010, 09:02:22 PM
This is pretty much what my hairline looked like when I started shaving my head.  I couldn't stand the severe widow's peak and knew that I was likely to be stuck there for quite a long time.  When it got to this awkward stage I found myself wishing that the rest of my hair would just fall out overnight.  And that's when I knew I had to do what Mother Nature was taking to long to do.

I saw this guy on TV the other night; he's been receding for a long time now, but it looks like the hairstylists are actually starting to comb his hair forward a bit in a futile attempt to hide some of that expanding forehead.

That's Mike Emanuel, he's the White House correspondant for Fox News, I think any job that involves working with the white house would make you lose your hair. Razor your head isn't as big as his ( good lord !!!! )

I don't think his head is that big, either.  The receded hairline makes it look larger.

Then the day for this poor guy is near at hand when a little piece of the front separates and he's got two hairlines. 
Someone get this guy a razor, quick.

I don't know, man. I think if the news biz ever bottoms out for this guy he could stand on the side of the interstate and rent that pate out for ad space and make a pretty good living.

Or even worse, the middle of the front piece goes leaving two islands in front that are separated from the mainland.  A new manager at my gym fits that description exactly.  I don't know why anyone wouldn't shave at that point; it just looks so mangy when they don't.

His hair has got some length to it, and it's kind of standing up, which I think makes his head look bigger than it really is.

Emanuel's head looks pretty huge, but it looks even bigger from the length he has.  He would look alot better with it buzzed down.  It might give him alittle bit of an edgy look.

One of these days I'll let my lid grow out a little bit and show you guys just how messed up my hairline really is.

For most men the term MPB means "Male Pattern Baldness" in my case its more like "Mostly Patchy Baldness."

Just another reason to keep "bic-ing" my melon ;)

We believe you, don't need to see bad things, just show us a clean, baby butt smooth scalp.  That other stuff, it's not good--I for one, just dont' want to think about, much less see it.

WHEW! Man, I thought for a while I might actually have to go THROUGH with it! No no no no, NOBODY needs to see that train wreck.

Dodged a bullet there  :/O
