Hi guys,
Ive been bald for a week.
Thought I would introduce myself. Names Glen and I needed a haircut. I was about to go to the hair dresser but I didn't quite make it. :)
I all of a sudden wondered what I would look like bald. So I grabbed the clippers and went to number 4 first. Then Number 1. THEN 0.
I looked at it and thought, ahh what the hey. Got my razor, lathered up and went to town hehe.
The result was a whiteness I had never before seen which thew me for a little while. I kept getting up and looking in the mirror all night.
Next day I went to work with my baseball cap on. (i usually wear it to work) People started say I had had a hair cut and I replied by saying "you could say that" and flashing the whiteness hehe.
Next day no cap.
Lots of shocked looks and questioning about why. To that my response was I wanted a change. Pretty much everyone has been positive after the intitial shock.
Of course I have had my fair share of ribbing including Cancer patient, that I looked like any bald celeb they could think of etc. The trick was to joke along with them and it all settled down by day 3 mostly.
Anyway I am really enjoying being bald and I think I will be a lifelong convert :)
Cheers to all my fellow chrome domes O0

Glenr, call me weird, but I have this habit of making comparisons of people I see to famous people, as well as being able to see people in movies/TV and remember where I've seen them before. Anyway, I kept thinking you reminded me of someone. I don't know if this is who I was thinking of, but you sort of remind me of a character on NBC's ER show... Dr. Ray Barnett.
Here is a link that hopefully works. If anyone thinks I'm crazy, just ignore me, and I'll go back to my corner.

Looks bloody sexy mate. Kudo's to you for having the balls to go for drastic change. Son't know if you're single now, but sure doesn't look like it's going to stay that way if you are.

Welcome Glen. PJ is right .... you definitely rock the look bro! O0
