Title: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 06, 2012, 01:06:25 AM
I have a friend of mine who seems to be able to just buzz or shave his hair without a care in the world. We both have full heads of hair but Im envious of his ability to just shave his own head, because as he says, it's just fun. I've wanted to shave mine for awhile but just can't seem to do it for whatever reason. I don't know, what do you guys think. Am I just over thinking it? Should I just do what he does?

You should try it. That's the benefit of being a guy. You can just shave or buzz your hair without a care and it's no big deal.

Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 06, 2012, 01:44:07 AM
Im really tempted to try it because it's something I've just wanted to do BUT I just can't seem to get over the hurdle. I have a feeling I'll take a swipe with the clippers across my head and regret it.

I did. I shaved my head. And I like the results. You can always grow it back.

Have your barber do it for you. Once your head is bald, you'll experience the thrill that so many guys on this site talk about.

A shaved head is a very liberating feeling.

Sure you can do it! It'll be one of many challenges that you conquered in your life...get a barber to do it, or "friend of mine", but the big kick will be if you cut it off. If you don't like it grow it back in a couple weeks. Good luck.

damn it. headshave, one of the easiest things to do.
go ahead and do it!

Post by: BBCESQ on February 06, 2012, 05:52:27 AM
Do it. If you don't you will always wonder. I had the same obsession until I finally told my barber to shave it all off and I haven't looked back.

Just try it. You know you might like it!

Post by: BaldHDbiker on February 06, 2012, 12:56:33 PM
I have to agree that there is only one way to find out if you'll like it and that is to shave it off.

If you don't like it grow it back.....  8)

What caused you to decide to go bald by choice?
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: LAGLE on February 08, 2012, 12:14:31 AM
Well I loved the look. I have really thick indian hair aswell. Its wavy and curly and one day my friend dared me to shave it slick so I did and fell in love. Now I have receding hairline just barely, I guess its called widow peak. But I love the smooth feel and its just been more convienent over the last year.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 08, 2012, 02:10:40 AM
ok so Im seriously thinking of doing this. Here's what I look like now, how short should I go to start with? Im a beginner so take it easy.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Quin on February 08, 2012, 02:18:54 AM
haha we don't take it easy on anyone here. I would say go straight to bald but you should do what your comfortable with. Get your clippers and just pick a guard length or be really cool and go for it. Trust me, you'll feel great once you do it.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Cesar on February 08, 2012, 02:27:00 AM
come on dude, do it. You know that you want to, and you'll be fine. Bro, trust me, once you take those first few swipes you'll feel like such a man.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 08, 2012, 02:30:03 AM
Im going to do it. I'll post a pic in a few. Im still not sure about this but I can't keep putting this off.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 08, 2012, 04:18:30 AM
ok guys, I did it MYSELF. My head feels so strange. What do you guys think, can I pull it off?
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Quin on February 08, 2012, 04:21:54 AM
Your off to a good start but that's not NEARLY short enough. Come on, man up and go shorter!

Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Cesar on February 08, 2012, 04:27:30 AM
I agree bro, you need to go shorter. Come on, what's holding you back? I'll tell you what, I haven't cut my hair in a while and I've been itching to do it again. If you go all the way, I'll shave my head bald. There, you'll get something outta this and we'll both be in this together. Is that a deal?

'owned' oh no. I STILL see hair! I said you've gotta go all that way, that means bald. Come on man, just grab your shaving cream and razor and go for it. That's the deal, unless your going to chicken out  O:O

That was the deal. It's up to you, what you want to do but if you don't go all the way and reveal a bald head, then NO HAIRCUT for me  O:O come on, be a man, dont cry about it. Im offering to shave my own head to get you to try and be bald at least once in your life.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: gypsyboy11 on February 08, 2012, 04:57:35 AM
HOLY FUCKING COW. I NEVER thought I would ever have shaved my head entirely bald. Dude if I could shave your head myself I would, just to know %100 that your as bald as I am right now. My head feels like nothing I've ever felt before., work will be interesting today.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: mrzed on February 08, 2012, 05:41:47 AM
Congratulations, Gypsy.  I can feel your excitement about the first day sly.

Good start for the 30 day challenge.  Today is my day 21.  My head is slicker than day 1. (takes a few times to get the super smooth shave).  You carry the sly head very well.  Just watch it, you'll be rubbing your head all day, soaking in the new feeling.  

Welcome to being sly.  If you were in town, I'd take you out to lunch to show off the bald heads. Wear it proudly. You look much better bald than with hair.

I'm loving these "shaving challenges"!  Anyone else think it's a good idea to have a "bald challenge" section of the forum where people have kind of a buddy system where they agree to shave their heads at the same time?  Could be really beneficial to fencers and lurkers that need a push in the right direction.
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Cesar on February 08, 2012, 01:52:51 PM
ok Quin, are you ready to revel the shiny dome of yours? Because here's mine and it feels awesome to be back to bald. Men rule for being able to do this
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy
Post by: Quin on February 08, 2012, 02:01:18 PM
blam Im bald . I went straight to my clippers and just went for it without hesitation. I agree, a shaving challenge/bald buddies section would rock.

I showed this thread to my wife (who's still not crazy about my BBC).  She started laughing as I scrolled up and down the list and all of the profile pictures you would bald guys. Not a one with any hair on top.!!!  The whole crowd. All shaved bald.  She got a kick out of that. I did too.

Well done Arthur. Being sly really suits you. As Mrzed said, try the 30-day sly challenge. I doubt you'll want to go back to having hair once you've given the sly look a chance to sink in.

Im new here and have been tempted to shave my head for the longest time. Seeing this bald challenge really spurred my willingness to just jump right in and join the guys. So here we go, my bald adventure begins.

Once you get the itch to experience being bald, it doesn't go away until you try it.  But once you try it and stick with it for 30 days, you won't want to go back to having hair.  Being bald is a great feeling - enjoy it!
Title: Re: Shaving Head Envy

Hey Arthur!

The bald dome works well for you.  Keep it shaved!

Arthur, I like the four transition photos. Both buzz and bald suit you well.

Like others say here, go for the 30 sly trial. A month later, you may very well want to keep it. I did.
