Title: For the Fence Sitters: One Day to Decide then...Before and After
Post by: whatamIthinking on June 15, 2007, 09:14:55 PM
Thanks for all the positive feedback...you all are great support.  As I've already said, my wife loves the noggin and was first (and only) to kiss it.  When I went to work the next day, my boss walks in talking on his cell, sees me at the java maker exclaims Holy Sh*t!...walks over and rubs my head.  He told whoever he was talking to that I shaved my head and it looked great.  Every other coworker I encountered - other than the grumpy grapefruit (receptionist) - had nothing but positive things to say.  Even the grapefruit was pleasant saying "I don't like it...its not bad...I'll get used to it...just a shock".  An outstanding reception all the way around.  Certainly a confidence booster.  Now, I just need to get some sun to fade the "ghost white". 

Fence sitters:  get on with it!

You need to post these in the Before & After gallery.  It's truly an amazing transformation.   You didn't look bad before, but you definitely look better after.  Never have hair again!

Looks great, congratulations, you did the right thing. The positive reactions you received were very similar to mine and many others.  Everyone has their "grapefruit" they have to deal with.

Wow man, you just addressed one of my concerns....  Honestly how your head with the hair looks, it looked like you would of had a big bulb dome.  (if you check my post today you'll see what I'm talkin about)

But damn, it looks, nice perfect and round.  It actually makes you look slimmer....and WAY younger......thats an inspirational one.

Looks good!

Man, Mike, it looks like you lost a lot of years with the shave.  You look about 21 to me.  Way to go!

This is a great post! This ties into exactly what I wanted to convey to everyone out there! I suffered from thinning hair and hairloss for the early years of my 20's. I began loosing hair at the age of 18 and through drugs and concealers hid my imperfection till the age of 26. Today, I proudly shve my head and have been for over a year and a half now. I understand the hardships and the embarrasment young males go through in order to create a full head of hair. Its awful. I know this, I was there. I have created a website to fully explain my head shaving process and encourage the young and the thin to step forward and take the shave. Please read my story, and give me feedback on what you think. Take care.
