Welcome Brasspower! Here you will certainly find people of all ages with the same thing your are going through. Mine started when I was 18 and I am 27 now. I started off with a #3 buzz cut (it was a misunderstanding with the barber) and kept going shorter till I got to the shortest setting on the buzzers. I still have yet to keep my head completely shaved, but I want to try the 30 day challenge soon! I would not say that all the guys with the horse shoe are desperately trying to hold on to what they have. I think those guys are the ones with the comb-over! There is a guy at my work that has the horse shoe and actually has a tattoo on the back of his head with a guy pushing a lawnmower, just above the hairline! That is some one who is comfortable with his baldness!
I started losing my hair bad at 17, and shaved it all off at 20. Best thing Ive ever done for myself! I hope it will be the same for you! Welcome to the board!
Ive seen that guy with the tatttoo of a man pushing the lawnmower on the Internet somewhere.
Hi Brasspower,
Welcome to Sly Bald Guys.
You will find a lot of good information here.
I think that starting with a short buzz cut is a good start. That is what I did. I really like the sly look myself.
