Congrats on the shave. Hope you are enjoying it. Its crazy how we get hung up on our hair (me included). Eventually we shave it and always think 'why didn't i shave it sooner!'.

Sounds like you made the right choice I started losing my hair at 19 and personally, as far as MPB is concerned, I think the earlier (shaving it) the better. Consider it a preemptive attack in which you win back the upper hand. My regret is that I delayed for a long time because I was too scared to do it!
