Title: Ahoy-hoy, everybody.
Post by: timorousme on September 23, 2008, 02:04:28 PM
My name is Sean. Some people call me Rudie (after various Clash songs). I'm a stand-up comedian who just embraced my hair loss. I'm only 20 and my hair loss really started in middle school, so it's caused some grief for me over the years. Eventually, I just started growing all the hair I could, and it's looked horrible. Just yesterday I decided "Whatever" and shaved my beard and got somebody to take a #1 to my head. I think it looks a lot better. What do you guys think?

Before:

I look like a totally new person now. I'm still adjusting to the look, but it feels fantastic. When I got into the shower this morning, washing my head was the best feeling ever (well, second best, obviously).

So, I figured, what a better place to embrace the new me than here. I think I'll enjoy this forum.

Thanks, man. Now, I just need to find sunglasses that work out. Those aviators don't really suit me anymore, and I hate being on stage without them (anybody in the performing arts knows how horrid stage lights are).

I'd say that's definitely a 100% improvement. Really great transformation. Welcome to the forum.

Sean,
In the first pick on the railroad track you should have a stick over your shoulder with a bundle of clothing tied on the end.  ;)
Gotta say its an awesome transformation. You sport the clean look well  O0
Get some "not so rounded" shades, they don't have to be expensive because people won't notice them.

And Tim, you should try the
beard + shaved look and see if that works. 
I can't really grow a good beard but you should try it.

I think you did yourself a favor by going sly.  It is YOU!  But since you do grow a great beard, I agree that you should try the sly plus beard look.  If you don't like it, you can shave it!  Of course I am biased!

Sean, like the other guys have said, the after pics look great.

Post by: Razor X on September 24, 2008, 06:27:04 PM
Very wise decision.  I would never have guessed you were only 20 years old based on the first two pics, but you definitely look your age in the third photo.  Thinning hair is very aging, and it also tends to give a person a very tired look, IMO.   A #1 is a good start, but now you have to finish the deed and scrape it clean.

Sean, welcome to the gang.
You don't even look like the same person.

Glad to have you here with this crazy gang.

Sean, welcome to SBG.... big improvement man - you look younger and more confident.  Congrats to you and keep it sly.
Title: Re: Ahoy-hoy, everybody.
Post by: Stu on September 26, 2008, 12:53:36 PM
I agree with Razor.  I don't know what age I would have guessed you were in the 'old you' photos, but I think you have lost about 20 years with the head shave... that would make you about zero, I guess.  I have to believe you will see a new change in your social life... whatever it was, it's bound to dramatically improve... humor + slick = winner.

A late welcome to you Sean. Good to have you with us.

I gotta agree with the bro's, man you look like a whole different person, and years younger in addition.

I say keep it, and give the full shave a try. Bet you'll like that even more.

The shades look great by the way. Aviators have made a comeback and it's good to see them. They look good with your face shape.
You may have to try different glasses and frames to see what helps with the lighting problem.

Good luck. Enjoy the forum, and keep it smooth!     O0

I actually am fully shaved now. Here are some pictures taken during a practice session at my house.
