Congratulations!  Now post up some picks.

Congrats!

"Buyers' Remorse" isn't quite the term I would use, although I didn't come from the rug experience.  There's a "who's the dude in the mirror" feeling, that lasts a couple of weeks.  But, as you get out and about--use sunscreen--you're going to find that people either don't say anything--almost a let down because you feel so different at first and they don't seem to appreciate it--or compliment it.  A few jerks, generally the ones who should be looking for the blade themselves, will mouth off, but in a couple of months when they think they're only talking to you they'll start asking about it--they're thinking about it too, you can bet on that.  
Your technique will improve, and that smooth feeling is totally addictive.  So take your time, enjoy the freedom.  

Congratulations, Mauricio! Well done.  

Saintc pretty well covered everything you asked about. Just ease off for a day or so if your skin does get really irritated, but it sounds like you are off to a great start!

 

Looks great - I wouldn't call it buyer's remorse - It's more like, 'wow I did it, can't change my mind now - it's done.'  I would go easy to let your head get used to it.  The roughness in back is probably only if you rub from bottom to top - that is fixed by shaving up (against the grain) after shaving from front to back (down).

It looks great Mauricio!  Great job of taking that step.   As a former rug wearer I can tell you that there's definitely moments of looking in the mirror and being in absolute shock.   From my own personal experience the first week was the worse.  The second week was better -- but still getting used to the look (well for rug wearers we already know what we'll look like as when you clean your system you shave the top of your head before you glue it back on).   For me the third week was the transition point and at the end of 30 days I was in the "I am never going back to hair" mode.    I'm at the end of my 8th month and sly is who I am -- actually because it is who I am!  No more hiding under dead squirrels glued to my head. 

Sun definitely helps even things out.   I have a dark tan now and it looks great.   

Hold fast -- its gets better.   The shock of "who's that person in the mirror" quickly fades.   You did the right thing.  Hair is out - sly is in!

Thanks guys!  I sent my wife a picture and she actually likes it!

And why wouldn't she?  Looks good.  Almost makes a person wonder why you were hiding it?

Looks great!
