And feeling good.... A brief history of me: I have shaved my head with clippers several times but never closer than no guard and never with a razor. I had hair transplant surgery back in the mid 90's (big mistake, before bald was as acceptable, I am also a member over at hairlosshelp.com) and I have about a 4 inch scar in the back. It is pretty small compared to some that i have seen. Anyways, I have always been self-conscious of the scar and having a shaved/semi shaved head for work as I am in sales and usually just wear a short cut with @ 1 inch on top. I am somewhat thinning as well but not real bad. Well this week after reading on this forum alot, I shaved with clippers no guard, and worked up the courage to "bic it" I gotta say at first i didn't like it , the scalp was all white compared to my face but after a few days of being outside I am really starting to like it. Also, I think the scar shows up less because there is no hair on the rest of the scalp either. I like it with about 2 days growth though I think, kind of a "lazy sly" maybe. Anyways it feels great, very cool, looks profesional, and I have been getting more looks from the ladies, maybe a confidence thing, i don't know. My wife hates it shaved but oh well. Thanks to all the sly guys on here. (Gues that history wasn't quite so brief, sorry)

Greetings ugabulldog, and welcome to SBG!

Welcome UGA. Enjoyed your story. It is similar to many of the other stories from members on here.
Glad to see you are taking control of your life. Sometimes it is our perceived "flaws" that make us unique. My "flaw" in my mind was no hair. Once I finally embraced that "flaw" as part of my uniqueness on June 8, I have never been happier.
Get a little more sunlight on the dome and it will match the face. That's what I did and I like it more and more each day.
Welcome and look forward to your avatar.

Does this mean another GA Boy on the site O0
Not gonna ask what your doin to the blue thing but it looks happy! :*))
Just kiddin UGA, Welcome to SBG!
I think being bald will help the scar not be as noticeable (strangely enough), plus you can try some of the scar fading cream if you don't have hair in the way. It may just take a little time for your wife to get use to it, but I will say I have found women like my dome on the smooth side versus the stubble. Was at a party this past weekend and seen old friends who haven't seen me since my shave and the women were lovin the smoothness. When I was asked why I shaved it, my response was "I'm bringin sexy back", and interesting enough a few of the ladies said "You sure are". They enjoyed rubbing the noggin most of the night. Was a great night that ended about 4am ;)
Again, welcome and congrats on the look!

Welcome UGA...I think you would look cool going all the way. I have found that if i get even just 1 days worth of growth on it..it drives me crazy. just ask my wife... We drove to florida from Indiana...we pull into a road rest...and i had to ..i just couldnt bare it any longer...so i stood at the sink shaving my dome. I got some pretty strange looks....and my son...who is 9 runs out of the bathroom hollering..MOM DAD IS SHAVING HIS HEAD IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! I was like SHUTUP!
Oh and yeah...by the way..WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE BLUE THING??? Looks like you are sufficating the poor thing
LOL

Welcome again, Bulldog... Like I said in another post; the sly looks suits you great. I've been sly a grand total of four days; my wife has a similar attitude to yours; but she still likes you, yes? That's all that matters.
And ... Good to see you again, Champ; I remember when I first found this website you had just shaved your head; and What an amazing transformation it was ! ! Your first posts really locked into my mind the idea that " Yes; guys with thin hair DO look better shaved! It enhances, rather than detracts from a guy's other positive features . ... Or in other words; Guys who look just ok with a fringe, thin spots , etc. actually look awesome with a total shave. So, thanks for the inspiration, and glad to see you are still rocking the look.

To paraphrase a buddy of mine who went to Auburn ..... You wouldn't pull for Bama with both engines out on the team plane

so your sayin' if saban had the chance to come back to LSU, he would not be welcomed? i bet he would. for the money he was getting, i am not sure what i would have done. do i hate him. hell no. think he could have answered certain questions differently. but would you tell your boss you are staying and tell the media you are leaving? he did what he thought was right. i hope he does well with his choice. i do hope that LSU beats the crap out of bama. but i don't hate saban.
