Thanks everyone,, now a question for you all,,,,, how did your significant other take to your shaving your head. Daughters freaked out a little the first day,, pretty ok with it now. They are spreading the word amongst their friends,, now a lot of thier parents want to see.   The wife,,,, uhhh,,, another story, she doesn't like it,, but won't give in to giving me a cut when I ask,,, so the hair stays gone.

Couple of wierd things I have noticed, Little things hurt,, without hair to cushion. Sweat doesn't hesitate to run into the eyes without hair to soak it up,,, BUT,, don't have to walk around with sweaty hair.

Tom:

My wife and daughter didn't really like my hair when I had it buzzed.....I think I started out buzzing it to a #2 .....I went to a 0 buzz and they thought it looked better ....I told them the next thing would be a shave and they both said NO WAY.....lol......anyway.....one day I just did it and they thought it looked much better and I have been like this almost 3 years....of course, I am a little different because I didn't have much hair on the back of the head and had a lot of hair loss on top also.....but anyway.....Give your wife some time and let her get over the initial shock and I bet she will come to love it......Good luck bro....

Keep it sly bro.... O0

Planning on it,,, using the argument of " have to use up all the HB Slick, to darn expensive to toss out",,  hopefully by then wifey will grow to like it.

Response has been wayyyyyyy positive, and the guys I expected to give me a hard time did,, so that strengthens that it is all good.

Welcome, bro! I was sly when I re-met my wife (She did know me when I had hair, about 20 years ago now) so I got no reaction there. Your wife will come around,... The look is good on you! It's a little hard because it seems so drastic a change at first..but in no time, she'll be lovin' it!  ;D

My wife was downright ANGRY when I first shaved my head more than two years ago, so I let it grow back.  After a while, though, I couldn't stand it.  I kept getting my hair buzzed shorter and shorter until six months ago, when I took the razor to the dome again.  I've been sly ever since.  My wife tolerates the look now.  I'd like nothing more than for her to give my noggin a shave like Warhawk's wife does.  Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, but at least she hasn't made a negative comment in months.  I think she might actually respect my decision to take a stand and stick with it.

Hey Tom, a late welcome to you. Good to have you join us.

Like you, I get the same reactions; my wife and daughter both like when I have the short stubbled look. I try to compromise, so I just did a grow out for a month.
It was ok, but boy did I miss shaving. Just shaved it back down on Tuesday, oh, what a feeling, lol.

So compromise it is. I am going back to what I used to do, a couple days on, a couple off. So both parties are happy.   ;)

Enjoy the forum, and keep it smooth however you choose.     O0
