Day 31- Been wearing a beanie all day, that's why I've got all the funny lines! It's cold here!

Busy weekend of work so I couldn't post this yesterday, but here I am. 31 days and going strong. It's been nice and something I'll continue to do. It's taken away the worries of people always staring at the back of the head and really let me be myself.

Its been so much more of a confidence booster than I ever thought it could be. Every now and then I take a day off, just because I'm lazy or whatever, but I think it's a keeper.

Thanks to everybody here for sharing their stories and helping me take the plunge.  O0

Congratulations.

Looks good!  I think it's a keeper, too.

Glad you like it.  Amazing at how shaving your head bald builds confidence!

Terrific YSBG ... though I recall we all agreed on Day #1 that you were looking like you'd been sly for eons. Looks great now that it's weathered a little.

Congratulations, YoungSlyBaldGuy!  Glad to hear that the first 30 days went well for you and that your going to keep it.  I too get lazy and skip a day but never go more than 2 days.  You look good man.

Thanks guys! I think this forum helps a lot of people; the lurkers and many more. It's a hard thing to come to grips with and this is like a giant therapy group.

I think a lot of people fight it off for as long as they can and this place is that extra oomph that helps them make that next step.

The change is astonishing, you look so much more handsome with the shaved head.

Your dome looks reaaaly smooth, how come you have so little shadow?
Are you shaving against the grain or is it the naturally blonde hair that helps?

Thanks man! I do shave against the grain. Gets me right down to the skin and makes my head super smooth. I only use a Gillette Mach 3 razor, so nothing fancy. I would credit my blonde hair to having almost no shadow though.

I also shave in the shower after rinsing my head for a few minutes so my pores are as open as can be and I can get my closest shave.

Thanks for the comments on the glasses too, guys! They're my backup pair. Busted my other pair earlier this month.

they are pretty much, once size fits all. Sorry if you have a large skull.  (like me).  They are just tighter.  Or have your wife / mother knit you one to fit.

Walmart has them for less.
