Title: Happy bald now bring on the full beard!
Post by: Adamski1972 on March 18, 2013, 02:43:51 AM
17 days of first 30 done. Family all aware and used to the new sly bald me. Went to a staff party tonight with 120 other people and got lots of head rubs and compliments so very happy with general reactions to my bald bonce. Will have no problem doing the 30 days so now concentrating on developing a great full beard. Will take about 4 months for a decent beard I think and approx another 2-3 months to get it styled to perfection. A long game but well worth the long slog. Waiting for headblade delivery. Looking forward to trying one out!

I celebrate with you, remembering my first month of shaving my head bald. 

It looks good on you. No wonder you got the head rubs et. al.

You might find that the beard grows faster than expected.

Beards take time...but you look like you're willing to wait it out.....Should be nicely developed when fall rolls around. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the compliments folks. Bit of an amateur photographer for a hobby and always been a big fan of black and white photos. Think they have a quality to them you can't get with colour photos.

Keep going.

Meanwhile, just back from a dinner at some friends. One of whom specifically took a picture of my beard. It's a tourist attraction.

You may say that now ! But then you start thinking about growing just that bit longer.

This is my beard last May. So you can see how things have progressed.

Wow, you look so different! Inspiring stuff. I had a bit of a rash to start with but that calmed down now.

No advice on the beard front (obviously) but your new profile pic is great, adamski!

Keep saying to myself, I'll go the barbers in the next few days. But the bigger is gets, the more I like it. Not sure when to stop.  ;)

Was kind of inspired by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7adwkgF1pA&feature=youtu.be

Great bald and beard profile, Adamski. One contrasts well with the other.

I'll update my profile pic soon. Added an extra month to my beard....

Bud, you could always give a goatee a go and if you like it progress onto a full beard.
