Title: Shaved it today
Post by: baldkorean on August 06, 2008, 08:43:11 PM
So I've been contemplating this head shaving thing.  I have a full head of hair, though slightly thinning on top.  I cropped it quite short this summer, but I've been really itching to do it for a while, but I find it less common to see sly asian guys.

After hesitating for a few weeks, I started to really wonder what I was afraid of.  I won't lie, I have my insecurities and I know I'm going to stick out at certain crowds for going sly, but don't give a ****.  Hair doesn't make the man, and nothing worse in life than following the herd and being afraid of being different.

So after my shower after an afternoon run, I was shaving my facial hair - then I looked up and grinned at myself in the mirror as I held the blade in my hand.  Next thing, I lathered my head and just did the deed.

My head felt numb, but damn is the skin ever soft up there!

Great site - sly guys have balls!

Welcome aboard baldkorean.   More guys should just grab that razor and go for it like you did.

Thanks for the welcome :)

Once I started contemplating going sly - I was bothered about the anxiety and fear that crept up inside.  The more I thought of it, the more I knew I had to try it.  I thought I had a pretty badly shaped head, and it isn't perfect by any means, but I can live with it.

It's funny how just the simple act of shaving your head can make you feel like a different person.

For anyone contemplating it.. Nothing to fear, but yourself.  It's only hair, but if you're like me and already thinking about it, do yourself a favor and just do it. :)

Hello dude,

Really rare to see Asian people showing off their bald head but then I started to think about Tibet monks, and the more religious Asian people, you often see them with shaved or bald heads.

Welcome! :)

I know a couple bald asian guys that look clean cut and handsome. There is one guy I know who SHOULD shave it off, but is trying to do the best he can without resorting to that. I know he would be king if he just got rid of the shoe-horn.

Thank you all for the compliments :)

I was worried about how others would react, but so far it's been positive.

If someone is willing to judge my character or my worth by how much hair I choose to leave on my head - I have no time for them.

Be yourself - you cannot be anything but.

Better to live one day as a lion than a lifetime as a mouse.

That just reminded me of a cousin of one of my mates.  she lives in USA and has just recently been widowed after nearly sixty years marriage.  she's 78, and last year, when her husband died, she had her hair cut short, as she'd been wanting to do all her married life.  Her late husband hated her wearing it short, so she waited all those years before she did what SHE wanted.  Seems pretty sad it took her husbands death before she was 'brave' enough to do it.

So don't live in fear.  It really is better to live one day as a lion than a lifetime as a mouse! O0
