Hey all. Found this site doing a bit of research on how to shave a head. Had been thinking about it for awhile. Finally after reading through a few of the head shaving threads on this site, I took the plunge. Wasn't too bad. Had a decent pair a WAHL shearers/clippers. (They were initially bought for a cat!) Took about 5 minutes to shed the locks myself. Shortly after I shaved the front and sides a bit (I happen to have a Mach 3 with fresh blades, seems to be the most popular on this site) and later still my girlfriend shaved the rest. Still not really used to it, and I have a bunch of questions but I'm sure many will be answered just browsing through the forums. Just wanted to say hello.

At first shaving bald seemed sort of weird. I'm totally singing a new tune every hour that passes. I can walk outside without wearing something on my head, be it the "unit", a hat or a do-rag. I often would take my "unit" off because the damn things are uncomfortable as hell as many of you probably know. I don't have to worry about my hat blowing off in the wind. This sounds like something so mundane, but I seriously used to have terrible feelings every time the wind would blow and I'd be wearing a hat. It was like everyone was focusing on me maybe? Not anymore. The wind can blow as much as it wants. Won't bother me a bit, even if I'm wearing a hat.
I remember one time we were spending the day boating on a lake, my friend wanted me to go jumping off a big rock into the lake, lots of other people were there doing it. I told her no thank you, even though I wanted to. I had on a do-rag and was afraid it would come off when I hit the water. Really sucked. I had learned to swim around wearing a do-rag, but tubing or skiing or jumping off a rock? Out of the question.
I love kids (Have none of my own) but I like rough housing and messing with other peoples kids, my girlfriend has 4 sisters and 2 brothers so there are plenty of nieces and nephews that visit. In fact I'm like a big kid myself. I'm one of those guys in his 30's that still plays video games and has a HUGE toy/comic collection and kids generally like me because I "play" with them. (NOT perverted like either!!, I mean like GI JOE) Unfortunately every time I was goofing around with them, and the kids would even come near the "hair", playtime was over. I'd back off and, sulk away fearing they would pull off the toupee and there came that terrible feeling again.
One of the biggest things that made me decide to shave it off was I was in a Wal Mart recently and I saw a dude wearing a unit. It was a bad job too. Looked really ridiculous. Then I thought to myself I can always IMEDIATELY spot someone wearing a unit. I’ve seen dozens on people out in the wild , some pretty decently done, others not so much so but in the end, they weren’t fooling everyone if they thought they were. Who did I think I was fooling and damn what if I looked as ridiculous as them? LOL I started feeling worse about wearing one then just being bald!!!
I totally feel like a huge weight has been lifted in the past couple days. My shaving skills suck right now, but I suspect with time and the right tools I'll be a pro in no time. This site is great and has helped out immensely.
