Title: Newly Bald by Choice
Post by: Father Pat on March 07, 2010, 07:08:04 PM
Well, I usually keep my hair pretty short.  These days no more than a number 2 or 3, usually around number 1.  Last summer I did the clipper shave, so I guess that would be 0. 

But just this Friday, I went all the way.  I did it for a good cause, raising about $1000 for St. Baldrick's - a great organization.  They just did the clipper shave, but since I agreed to shave my head for kids with cancer, I went home and used my new HeadBlade.  I like the look, and will definitely keep it through the coming summer.  Easier to put sunscreen on my pasty Irish skin anyway.

During the winter, I'll grow my hair back, I think, especially so I can get it shaved again for St. Baldrick's. 

It's great to find this forum and website ... lots of great information and resources.  So I'm glad to be here and I look forward to learning from all of you!

Peace,
Pat

Welcome, and don't feel like you're obligated to grow it back, a St. Baldrick's shave can work if it's only 24 hours worth--can't it!

Saint Baldrick's is an awesome organization.  They do great work, and their events are a ton of fun.  I'm hooked and will be doing it every year if I can.  You get a great look and help a lot of kids in the process.

Aloha Pat,

Welcome to SBG's. I too believe in St. Baldricks although I didn't know about them when I shaved my dome. Keep up the great work!

Too bad I don't have anything to shave. A very good reason to shave the dome.

Exactly. That's why next year I'll probably start growing it again after Christmas, so that I have something to shear on St. Baldrick's day.

Great story and great look.  You could get people to pay you to not grow your hair back instead of growing it back and having to shave it again.

Hmmm.... That's not a bad angle!   :)

And they could do it year round!  A box at the back of the church would work, sort of like the old "Poor Box."
