I am 23 years old and my hairline has been receding for the past year. I stumbled upon this website the other day and reading through the posts and looking at everyone's photo I was inspired to completely shave my head. I'll be honest, I was nervous. I was shaking as I ran the clippers over my head. I wasn't shaking as much when I went over it with my mach3 razor, but I did manage to cut myself in a couple spots. Anyway... I did it! My head is a little numb and it feels weird, but I can definitely see myself getting used to this.
You guys seem alright, so I'm thinking I'll stick around. =]

hey optimistic. I have had hair thinning for the past 4 years, and just like you said looking at everyone's photo insprised me to shave it off. I hope you keep your head shaved for a long time. I have done that for close to 5 months now and each day I love it more than the previous day. welcome to slybaldguyz

Welcome bro O0
-
looking good bro!! Now enjoy the freedom for many years.
-
Welcome! The Slick Dome suits you! And good job at taking the plunge.
-
greetings and congrats . looks good
the 'wierd numb feeling' doesn't go away when you live where I do ; Saskatchewan, Canada. It's so cold; your head feels numb all the time. Wierd, interesting; and I love it .
-
Opti! Great attitude, great smooth noggin, GREAT look! Welcome aboard.
-
Welcome to the gang. Your before and after photos tell the tale. Your shaved look is definitely the way to go. Watch out, now comes the women wanting to rub your head for good luck, etc. (Some of us kinda like that part)
-
BTW -- in the before pic you look like an average young fellow with a receding hairline. In your Sly pic, you look like you are a young fellow whose got it goin' on! Great change for the better! O0

Welcome to SBG!

A belated welcome,
the sly look suits you!
-
Good to have you on board. The "pre" shot certainly illustrates that you did the right thing--and the new look is clean and smooth. Stay Sly O0. By the time 30 days has passed the "numb" feeling will be mostly gone. Funny, it happens to so many guys but I don't recall a thread on it???? I mentioned it in one of my first posts.
Again, you did the right thing at the right time.

Congrats on taking the plunge, slick beats receding any day. Just wait until the first woman comes up to you and lays a big wet kiss ontop of that dome. Why let mother nature hav all the fun, keep it off and keep smilin.

welcome, bro: the sly look suits you. Wish I had that numb feeling back again, but sadly it goes never to return! keep it sly 8)
-
A belated welcome to you optimistic, that's a very positive user name and attitude, big thumbs up! O0
Hope you are enjoying the forum. We have plenty of good info to be found here, and a good bunch of guys to bs with and get to know.
The noggin' looks good, and that numb feeling will slowly fade as you get more accustomed to shaving. It is a great feeling that we all end up missing.
Take your time with shaving, there's plenty to learn, and many different blades and gels/creams out there. Read through the headshaving and products sections to get an idea how some feel about them.
It eventually comes down to what works best for you.
Good luck, and keep it smooth!

I shaved a week ago Sunday and the numbness was freaking me out.
You improved greatly by going sly. The before pic isn't bad; but you look better bald.
-
It appears like you found your new style. Looks really good on you. Must be a relief huh?
-
Congrats on the new look, it suits you very well. I'm still on thinking about doing it.
-
Welcome! looking much better smooth!! O0

Belated welcome to you bro !! O0
