Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your good advice.  I finally did what had to be done.  Even though I was lurking in the background, you guys gave a tremendous amount of moral support.

Unfortunately, I wasn't listening to you when I first tried to shave it off - bloody mess.  I let it go for a week, listened to what I was hearing and tried again.  Success!

My wife hates it, but she'll come around.

Thanks again.

All the best.

Good for you dude!

Hopefully the wife will accept the new you...

If you're MPB, I can never understand the hate for the total chrome dome look in comparison?! You're right most do come around though..especially when it gives us such renewed confidence!

Enjoy your newly balded head bro!

Welcome, Paddy.  Glad to see you're enjoying it!  Just give your wife some time.  She'll get used to it.  Can't promise she'll like it, but hopefully she will see the difference it makes in your attitude and self-confidence.

Cheers,
Rick

Welcome, Paddy.

Glad you found us and good advices so you could do the deed.

Enjoy  your new look - bald is beautiful.

Wifes usually need some to find this out and some spouses don't say, when they did (my wife?).

Welcome to the Sly-life, but for some of us, me included, wives are an issue.  Stick w/ it, it is fun  ;D ;D ;D, when her friends express their admiration and approval in front of her.  Whether you "rub" it in is your choice, as long as you're enjoying rubs from the ladies--really fun in front of her :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*))!!!!!!!!!

She may not like it, but she's been great about it.  She's always thought I had a big head and this just makes it look that much bigger.  In her words, the fringe "softens" the look. 

Not much I can do about the big head.   O0

I sorry to say I haven't been getting the head rubs.  I must be hanging out in the wrong places.

I finally got me some of those head rubs.  I'm not too proud to admit that I had to ask for a couple, but some were offered up, too.

Either way, it's all good.

Hey uncle p, a late welcome to you. Glad you decided to join us here at SBG's, and big thumbs up on just going for it!
Like the bro's said, the new confident you will "shine" through, lol, and then the wife should come to accept it as who you are.
 
Post up on some of your routine so you can get some input on blades and technique.

Good luck, and keep it smooth!      O0

Welcome!

Headshaving takes a little time to get down... after a few more times you will have it down.
