You'll make it. It takes time.
You won't regret it though.

My recommendation for you is to not allow yourself to chicken out next time. You will thank yourself once it's done. Bring a friend who is supportive of you and let them know your plan. They will help you with courage when the going gets tough. Just think of all the money you will save and how much cooler you will look.
Bald is ageless. Bald-ING makes us men feel older. Take the plunge and take several years off the age you perceive yourself as.

Go for it! Just allow the first cut, it'll go easy after that!
-
It's like anything... the more you stall, the worse you imagine things will be. Then when you finally do it you're like all... WTF! Why didn't I just do it in the first place? :*))
Go for it bro... we have all been there and are all saying go for it! O0
Oh yeah, welcome aboard! O:O

Getting lathered up and completely skinned in the chair is a a great experience. just do the deed next time.
-
There's nothing to fret about! I went from having hair (although a little thin on top) to basically a clipper shave in about 4 weeks! Each time I got it cut shorter.....I wanted it even shorter! I knew I was going to do it all along and had no apprehension at all....taking it in stages was fun and if that suits you, I say take your time but you're at a #2 now....go get the #1....trust me....you're going to like the look and then your on the way!
-
Man you can do it. You are almost there, it will be the greatest feeling you have ever experienced. Trust all of us when we say do it. We did!

Ive found that barbers generally arent too keen on head shaving...(less business for them).
Just pop in the shower, lather up the head and shave. Keep the facial hair...you will dig it man.
You will have a shadow back IN A DAY !
You dont really need a barber to do it...just be careful.

Do it -- what's the worst that could happen?
-
Stop torturing yourself and do the deed lol. If you're curious about it and you won't stop thinking about it till you try it out. Everyone is a little anxious at first, but I'm sure you've read some of these testimonials. It's funny how most of them end with: "Why didn't I do this earlier?".
-
You can do it bro! Whatever is holding you back is just a result of unnecessary fears. You'll be happy you did it when you're done.
-
don't do it....until u have mastered the secret handshake.

Ditch the barber grab yourself a mach III and do it in front of your bathroom mirror. I havent taken to balness that easily but there was no feeling like that first time 3 years ago in front of a mirror in budapest, my whole look changed there and then from then in spite of occasionally not getting on with it all the time, i will never be balding again - i will always be bald!! - Just do it! :D
-
yeah the 1st step is to ditch the barber. not ragging on his chosen profession but u no longer need his services. grab a new, sharp razor; some shave lube and heed the word of all of us on here and just go 4 it !!! A new world of complete slyness awaits u....now grab the blade and go for it!!!!!! crap! that sounded like a sean connery quote from the 1st highlander movie!

Why chicken out bro...
why stay a balding young bro...
when you could be a confident bald by choice chromed dude?
Go back to your barber and tell him to shave you head completely smooth..
it's a cool experience!
Go for it bro, you'll love it...
both the xperience and the new bald head!
-
Jeremya, you're a cool dude. Why are you prolonging this agony. You know what you really want. And that's No buzz cut. You need to scrape your scalp free of hair. It's summer and that's the best time to go for a much cooler cut. Now go over to the sink. Take out a razor and do the right thing. Don't wimp out. Do it.
-
or go to the barber and try a 001 cut to start.
-
Yeah, what they said.

Once you do it, the anxiety will be gone. Honestly, it's really not that big of a deal and once you conquer that first shave - either by the barber or by yourself - you'll realize that you were making it out to be bigger and more traumatic than you needed to.

Nah don't go to the barber shop, you probably won't feel comfortable with having others around you staring at your head. Thats how I was anyways... I wanted to be the first one to see myself bald and I wanted to get used to seeing myself that way, before I showed others. So I used clippers #3, then #2, then #1, and finally a razor. That way, the shock value went down and it wasn't bad at all!
Here is a tip, after you've gotten your hair short (which it is already), just use the guard and buzz one side of your head, like a hole above the ear. That way you can either chicken out, and have a stupid looking empty patch on the side of your head, or "be forced" to shave the rest of your hair so the patch is gone heh. Thats what I did anyways.
You may get some negative comments at first, I got them from some of my family and my coworkers (I worked with a lot of black employees and some of them called me a skinhead- yeah I know... I couldn't believe it either, but they tried to say it in a joking manner. Anyways after they got used to seeing me with no hair the rude comments stopped. But I didn't keep my head bald long enough for my family to leave me alone about it. Now I got hair (and a bald spot) and I want to shave it off again, because I've been bald before and I know it looks good on me. I just got to do it. It is a nice feeling knowing that you don't need to worry about hair anymore.
Without hair, people are able to focus on my handsomeness :p. Eventually you'll take the plunge and shave it all off. Whats the worst that could happen? In 2 weeks it'll be back to a clippers #1 and in about 4 weeks it'll be at wear you are at right now. Good luck, and we are here to support you!
