I've been thinking about shaving my head for about 6 months. It seems like things are thinning out a little in the front. I got a bad haircut last week, and yesterday decided to go for it. I went back to the barber and he trimmed it down to the length the sides were, and I came home and got rid of the rest with my own clippers. I found myself laughing a little maniacally with every pass of the clippers. I jumped in the shower, and was surprised how different the water felt on my head. I broke out a new Gillette sensor blade and lathered up and went to town. doing the back was hard, because I couldn't see what I was doing in there. I felt around and once I was satisfied (and the hot water was gone) I jumped out of the shower.
Everything feels different, the pillows, my CPAP machine (I use it to sleep...Obstructive Sleep Apnea) I had to jump in the shower to shave my face, cause it looked a little odd being smooth up top, and stubble on my cheeks. I went out, and felt the chill in the air on my head. I wanted to stay outside, drink coffee and read (and get a little sun) but it was too cold here in New Hampshire.
I think it looks good, aside from the roll of fat at the base of my head on the back of my neck. Im hoping as I lose weight, that will get smaller as I get in better shape.
That's the beginning of my story. I've never really posted on message boards, because I never think i have anything to say. But I wanted to introduce my self as I come out of my shell...aren't turtles bald too??

Carver,
Welcome to the sly asylum! I would get a HeadBladek. I found that it has helped me to shave by touch. Also as for being overweight, I have found that bigger guys can pull of the sly look well. I should know, I am one myself. While you are at it, post us a pic of your sly dome!

Hey Carver,
Welcome, bro. I, too, am looking forward to a stretch of warm weather here in New England so I can give the dome a little exposure to the sun. BUT be careful about staying outside too long without some sunscreen on.

Welcome to the brotherhood of the permanently bald! Nothing beats the feeling of the daily morning headshave. Just a note on your back of head issue. Just about of all us baldies have some degree of the infamous "pack of hotdogs neck" where the back of the shaved head folds up over the shirt collar. Its all part og being a baldie. lol

Hey man welcome, Wow I know just how you feel i experienced it a couple of weeks ago. I have to say about the rolls on the back of the neck, don't worry about it it adds character and if it inspires you to exercise more all the better to be healthy. I have a knot on the back of my head (a bone that's odd shaped?) but I don't let it bother me, it's character.
