Wow! What a difference. You look great!
I know my advice was the best
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and kind words. I still wonder who the heck that guy in the mirror is every time I check but I'm sure that dissipates with time. I most definitely plan on keeping this look. I've got my 35 year class reunion coming up and I can't wait to freak my old friends out.

I was hippy with long hair and John Lennon glasses with a bandanna back then.
The shaved head suits you very well. Enjoy it!
Congrats, you look great!
Plus, you're the living proof that the hair belongs to the chest, not to the head
