Hello, straight from the NW is another bald guy, well i'm 22 and losing hair like a mother F, but i figure that i'm screwed but theres always hope ha, i started losing hair around 18, but i've been shaving my head with a one guard since i was 17 till now, almost bi-weekly so maybe i can blame my hairloss on that..ha, well anyways i joined to find a place where i can talk to more people about this problem, (there really isn't too many bald people at my college!) anyways i currently am considering shaving it all off but i'm waiting till i graduate, i figure outside college it will be more acceptable... right now most of the balding is on the front of my head, around the crown, I may be going bald but I thank god that he gave me a pretty face ha! anyways like i said i'm thinking about bic'ing it, but i'm kind of scared to take that leap, anyways feel free to hit me up pm or whatever if you got questions or just for fun!

Welcome Nick!

Yes Nick....GO FOR IT! From your pic...looks good to me. Welcome to the group bro!

Nick,
Welcome to Sly Bald Guys! Glad to have another member of the Seattle Sly Squadron!

Hey there Nick... from the bottom of the state,(Vancouver)...
Seriously...shave your head smooth bro...
right now you're still balding (def. shows through with the tight buzzcut)..but shaved smooth WILL give you an edge...make people ask why...show interest..
and believe it or not...it's good to stand out..some nice lookin' girl (or dude to be PC ;)) might notice you because of it..
which is good...bro you want the people that think progressive..they'll help make your life that much more enjoyable..
shave your head smooth bro...I KNOW there are a ton of slick guys around you everyday..
maybe just not immediately in your classes!
Good luck and go for it..
A smart man starts living early in his (our) relatively short lives!
BTW you'll look awesome bald...also btw, which the world sees you now as anyways! O0

)...anyways i currently am considering shaving it all off but i'm waiting till i graduate, i figure outside college it will be more acceptable...
Wrong. Take advantage of the fact that you're in college; it's the perfect time to do something like this. You're an adult so you don't need permission from your parents, and you're in a more-or-less non-judgemental environment where pretty much anything goes appearance wise. If you wait until graduation, you want to do it because you'll be worried about job prospects (another false fear). You're too young to be straddled with that receding hairline so just take it down to the skin now. You'll be glad that you did.

wow awesome advice guys, im glad i joined! i think i just might shave it all off now ha, if i have the time ( i'm pretty busy this week) should i just shave it with a zero then shave?

I would do a zero, then shave it smooth with a razor...keep it smooth, then you can ditch the clippers ;)...
I found (and it was a long time ago) that buzzing it to a 0 actually hurt more and was a pain than razoring it everyday...
Let us know how it goes bro!
-
^^ Good stuff!
-
yes, take the plunge and shave it all off. You'll like it!
-
Welcome to the Forum Nick.......... no time like now to give it a try.
-
Welcome to SBG Nick, great to have you aboard !! O0

I agree. Just buzz it as short as you can and after that the razor blade is your best friend. Be sure to use a good quality razor (Mach III, Fusion, Schick Quattro) and some decent shaving gel.
-
Not much to add as the other bros have already given you great advice except welcome Nick and keep asking those questions. You'll find plenty of advice and support here.
-
Just buzz it zero or no guard. It won't be that much different than a one, and I bet people will hardly notice. Then you can hit the razor when you feel comfortable. You're less likely to get any comments since people already know you as being nearly bald anyway.
Any besides, who cares what people think? Even the guys who just go from having lots of hair to none rarely regret it, especially with MPB.
Going totally sly will make the MPB less noticeable.
Welcome!

Welcome Nick!!! Don't wait. College=College Babes=free headrubs :@`

From another Seattle native to another, welcome Nick.
Glad to have you here, and looking forward to your input. I can only repeat what the other guys have said, and I KNOW you will look great with the sly look. You will seriously wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
My fiance's brother is a junior at Wazzu, you may know him. I'll PM you with his name.
Take care.

Hey Nick, welcome to SBG's. Glad you decided to join us.
I echo what all the bro's have said, all good advice.
Why wait?, just go for it. From a 0 buzz it's nothing. Get yourself a good razor if you don't have one already. Mach III is one of the best, it's what I used for my first scrape down.
You will love it, and then wish you had done it sooner. O:O

Welcome to SBG Nick!
-
You're almost there already. I doubt you'll get much of a reaction from people you know, but the feeling you will experience will be incredible. No time like the present, dude, just do it!
-
well u got company here bro.. Am just 21 hair started thinning at 19 at 20 bald spots on the back of my head temples I decided to do have the best a man can get.. Razor smoooth blade shave!! and being bald to the bone.. anyways using zero on the clip since I was 18 ;D
go for it homie ul be addicted trust me!!!
-
NIck: wont make a difference at this point if u shave it clean. Try.
-
Nick, first of all welcome! Secondly, I have to agree with RazorX - why not shave it all the way now that you're in college. Sure you might take some ribbing about it at first but you will likely get more positive reactions than negative. If you wait until after you graduate, you might be more likely to have apprehension thinking that you won't be able to find a job - which is ridiculous as well. We're here for ya and many of us had the same thinning you're talking about. It really won't be that big of a deal. Keep us posted and welcome again.
