The look is almost the same. The feel is dramatically different. Bald is cool. I love it. Go for it.

When I upload pictures that need to be smaller, I use Irfanview. It's easy to download and it gives you the steps on reducing the size of a picture. The best suggested setting is 640X480 pixels.

I personally use imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us) or imgur.com (http://imgur.com)

You just upload your photo to them, then copy the link and you are done! I find that if you are using imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us) the actual "avatar" sizing is a bit small for my liking so I use the next size up.

They are both very easy sites to use, and that way you don't have to worry about resizing it yourself O0

Post by: Bilko1 on October 21, 2012, 02:10:06 AM: Hi, Haircut100 & welcome to this very helpful & cool site!

I would advise that if you are already having your haircut to a zero buzz then it really is time to go completely smooth, bro.
I had a very short buzz for a while before I went completely sly.

Every time I would get a zero buzz my friends would comment & say what's the point of the zero buzz - just go smooth bald if that's what you really want...... it wasn't long after that I had my very first head shave........ huge difference in the feel..... from stubble to shaved smooth. Try it. I guarantee that you will love the feel of the smooth head & will not regret it.
Like what others have said...... once you shave smooth, stick to the 30-day rule....it will really help you to stay bbc (bald-by-choice).
