Title: Well... Total noob, and I'm doing it tomorrow.
Post by: NewShaver on October 19, 2007, 12:41:40 AM: Hi all. I'm 19, have a pretty good hairline (but in the future, I can see, it'll be gone) and I have decided to shave it all off.

Mostly, I'm just posting because I think that if I don't commit somehow, I don't think I'll do it. Basically, I know I'll like it when it's done, but the thought of actually doing it is very intimidating. I like the look, I bet it feels great, and I want to do it, just very apprehensive.
So, yes, tomorrow, it shall be done. I hope.

That's all, it wasn't realy a question, but it's awesome to have a forum like this.
On a related note, if I haven't said I've done it by Saturday morning.. feel free to give me crap until I do it. :)

As far as backing out is concerned, once the idea to shave is in your head, it won't go away until you do it, as many of the brothers can attest. It will look great and it DOES feel great. Post up pics as soon as you do the deed.

Just go for it and don't look back, once toy break it in (couple of weeks) you will most likely never "grow" back.

Post by: Timmay on October 19, 2007, 07:48:36 PM: WHY WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW...you should have gotten off teh computer and went and shaved it all off right then and there.....you wont be sorry bro. I did the same thing, only thought about it for about 2 months then finally after wife said she was tired of seeing 5 oclock shadow on my head I went up stairs about 5 minutes after she said it and shaved it off. Post up a pic bro so we can see how much better you will feel when you do it
Title: Re: Well... Total noob, and I'm doing it tomorrow.
Post by: andrew on October 19, 2007, 08:10:26 PM: Welcome NewShaver .... Hope you follow through and shave it down close tomorrow. Once you've jumped the fence, you'll never go back.

Around here, you'll get alot more than that if we don't see a smooth, slick dome by tomorrow morning. :x! But really, Brutha, we won't let you forget it. You can run, but you can't hide.... >:D

Post by: Timmay on October 20, 2007, 06:48:43 AM: AWESOME MAN! It looks good..it fits you . Now you just need to parade around and show everyone how cool you look. From the time you took that pic I bet that you have put the blade to the dome at least twice since then. Its addicting bro...once you do it...hard to let it go back. Keep it smooth dude....you ROCK!
