Title: Maybe it will stick this time...
Post by: ifbguy on August 27, 2011, 09:29:08 PM

I've been BBC by choice for a few years.  Well, maybe it's Bald PARTIALLY By Choice.

I used to spend $16 a month to get my hair cut to a #2 on the sides and "finger tight" on the top.  Figured the short hair was good since I have a genetic bald spot in the back.

Then I got tired of paying... so I bought clippers and started doing a #2 on the sides and a #4 on the top.

That became a #1 on the sides and a #2 on the top...

Then a #1 all over... until one day I said "what if I just shaved it all off"

That was about four years ago.  I kept it clean for the summer.  I shaved it again every summer since... starting a little earlier and stopping a little later every time.  Not necessarily as part of a plan (last year I stopped shaving because the stock of Mach 3 blades I bought at CostCo ran out).

This winter, I'm thinking I may keep it clean all winter (I've got a good stock of blades).  I'm hoping posting here will remind me of this goal.

I've had facial hair the whole time.  Two years ago I had a four inch goatee.  Last summer it was a short tailback goatee.  This year when I first shaved my head, I kept the beard I had grown over the summer just to see what it would look like (and what my wife thought) for a while before I planned on shaving down to a mustache.  I never shaved the beard.

Still want to see what I look like bald with a mustache though.  I haven't done the mustache in years... and definitely not since I've been shaving.

I personally don't care for a plain mustache on me. I need a goatee or full beard. Post a picture if you want some opinions and welcome to the group.

Thanks for the welcome.  I'm sorting through vacation pictures looking for a picture I think would work for this forum...  If I don't find one I'll take a new pic in a few days.

I sported a big bushy mustache for a few months a couple of years ago and I thought it looked above average.  It's just higher maintenance than a beard... and with kids... I don't have a lot of time in the morning.  (and a non-big mustache is kinda boring).
