Title: Very helpful site
Post by: hockeyGTP on April 09, 2011, 08:50:47 AM: Lurked for a little while and this site and everybody on it has been very helpful. I had always wanted to shave my head but like many others was very worried how I would look, what shape was my head, and any other unsightly thing might be under m hair. While trimming the beard I decided to just go for it, I was instantly hooked. As of now I could not imagine not being bald. I figured it was only hair and if I didn't like it, it grows back.

Thanks again for the great site and the very supportive members!

That moment of decision to actually do the deed is where it all gets stuck - well done for pushing past it. I found it helpful to use the 30 day 'rule' to experiment (with people, products, routine, etc) and see what works best for you.

Sometimes things are just meant to be, welcome inside from the Land of the Lurkers. Enjoy the freedom.

Exactly!

Fence-sitters take note: there is nothing to lose by trying the 30-day challenge.

Although you don't have to shave it smooth, you also realize that you've come this far and might as well do it. Great job!! O0

A little about myself 23 years old and bbc. Have not noticed anyone treating me differently or staring at me. Didn't really expect it either though, I have always been very outgoing and talkative with anybody. Only problem so far, all the stubble, within hours I have velcro.

Post by: xnewyawka on April 12, 2011, 07:58:33 AM: Welcome GTP, good to hear you went ahead with it and found it to be a non-issue. That's how it turns out for most of us, and you end up wishing you'd done it sooner.
As far as the velcro, you can either shave it each day, or give it a few days in between before your next shave.
I find that after about 2-3 days it is softer and not as velcro feeling. It's all a matter of preference. It also depends on the time of year as well. I usually shave daily during the hotter months, and then alternate buzz/ shave in the Winter months. Go with how comfortable you feel, and enjoy it! O0
