My name is Brian and I joined the site a few weeks back as I liked the overall support that the group gives to each member. A little about me, 37, had been losing my hair since 17, played 3 sports in HS, and Lax in college so all the helmets did not help ripping the hair out more and more. I always kept my hair short but after graduation, I made the ill choice to get a HT to "improve my look / age ratio". We all heard this story before. Well, now I am married, work in medical device sales as well as running a fishing charter service. I finally got sick of looking like I was older than my age and my wife supported me. I shaved it down with clippers and she immediately said I looked better, but like a good wife, she said she liked me no matter what I chose to do. Now, bearing the lovely strip scar and all, I am about the go full sly. Yes, I am embarrassed for the choice I made 11 years ago with the surgery, but to all those here that gave confidence to others to do it, I now join you. I am going to try to be a voice to support those who have made the same choice and now face the facts or to those considering HT - Don't do it! We live in a different time now when bald is good, and accepting who you are is great. I hope to be an active part of this group as I know many of you have been for me already.

Welcome to the group. I shaved completely bald some 16 months ago, my wife shaved it really short with an electric shaver and I finished off the work with a new, sharp blade. She loves it too and it's nice to have that support, it made things a lot easier. Nowadays I shave everyday, I encourage you to go the same route

Welcome. Make up a story about the scar.
I have one on the top of my head (I got when I was a couple years old thanks to my brother). If someone asks, I just tell 'em I got it in Nam or it was a bar fight. You should see the other guy! ;D
