Hey guys, I've been lurking your site for a little over a month now and finally got around to posting and putting up pics. I want to start by saying that you guys provide some excellent support! Even though I didn't post, reading your posts were helpful.
As for my story, I'm the typical young guy with MPB and was looking into options to fix my hair. This site provided the best fix!! I love the bald head now and actually enjoy shaving my head in the morning. I used to have a hard time getting up in the morning, but now that I have a good reason (to be super sly) I enjoy the early rise.
I tried the close trim for a week or so and realized that I'm balder than I thought with longer hair. With the longer hair I could at least gel it, spike it up, then push it down for the illusion of body. After a while you could see right through to the scalp only in the middle of my head. Hopefully these pics work...
The hair victim...

I'm going for the buzz this weekend.....is your middle pick like a #1? Just trying to decide how short I want to go.
-
Yes, I'd say #1 is a good place to start. If it's not short enough, you can always ask the barber to go shorter. But #1 will seem pretty short if you've never buzzed your hair before.

Great, you're on the slippery slope, you're going to like what you feel, I promise.

Welcome to SBG's hickman, glad you decided to jump in.
I think it looks great, and what a difference from your first shot.
Once you get that clean, free feeling it's hard not to shave every day.
Keep us posted on your progress, and keep that noggin' smooth! O0

I think that pic it was actually a #3. I wore that around for a week before deciding it wasn't going to work lol.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've picked up some great tips from the shaving routine thread. Getting a perfect shave daily now ;D To whomever mentioned that Banana Boat Dri-block sun screen, thanks a bunch. I was getting a greasy feel after using aloe post shave, but that banana boat after the aloe seems to keep it normal.
