Title: did it
Post by: Kevikev on September 18, 2013, 01:00:20 PM

Well I was finally able to do it. I did not use the razor but I used the Wahl balding clippers with the 1/16" guard. And for me it is close enough to being bald. Everyone at work loves the new look and some actually wanted to rub the dome lol. I am now able to walk out the house without a hat and feel confident about myself. I Now don't have to think about my receding hairline (you can still see it but not as noticable and actually doesnt look bad with a buzz cut in my opinion) and thinning hair at the top. I went to the club recently and was able to grab a few numbers with the look ;). But in all seriousness, I would suggest any one with the same issue as me to just grab the clippers and chop it off, you won't regret it. I am a young 21 year old who is bald and loving it!

Congrats Kev, I'm glad you like it. I got almost all positive comments, and I had a full head of hair, when I shaved it. If you are still curious, you could shave your head on a Friday after work and it will be back to 1/16th" by Monday. That's if you have weekends off of course.

Kev, good job. I loved my head buzzed with no guard.  Probably less than 1/16.  Now enjoy it even more smooth shaved each morning.  When you are ready give it a try.

But 1/16 and bald look essentially the same.

Hi there Kevikev

Well done!

Now I dare you to go another step further and shave it off like a babies butt.  There is no better feeling.  Not a baby's but, of course, but the feeling of your freshly shaved head after some stinging aftershave has stretched the skin into dry silk.

Its just a friendly dare, no pressure! :)

Well done Kevikev!

I have to agree with Waine.  You've come so far, you might as well take that last step.

And get a photo up so we can see who we're talking to  O0

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on clipping it all off! :)

I do agree that while a tight buzz cut is a great feeling, the smooth feeling totally rocks. In time I am sure you'll opt to give it a try. As reddog said, try it when you have a couple of days off and it will be back to your look now when you go back to your normal day-to-day activities.

Hope to see you around and maybe you'll help out others feeling on the fence about it to take a stand against rampant hair loss !!  ;D
