Should have done this eight years ago!
« on: April 26, 2011, 09:11:39 AM »
That's what my wife said after I cut all my hair. I "bare-bladed" it for a week, but then shaved it completely a couple weeks ago.

There's no going back.

As for me, I'm a 28-year-old instructional technologist (I help teachers use technology) at Auburn University. War Eagle! I've been thinning very badly since my early twenties, but I still had hair. Finally I got annoyed with it and trimmed it all off. Such a relief!

I didn't have a comeover (God forbid), but I did have the "Ceaser" look where you brush it straight down. It looked ok... except from above (not too hard to avoid since I'm 6'3"), or wet, or windy, etc. But now I don't worry about the weather. I can wear hats and take them off without issue. It's great.

I danced between bare-blade and shaving, but I think I prefer shaving now. I love it and my wife loves it, and that's all that matters.


I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious.

Welcome aboard!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Welcome jackburnt, excellent decision to shave it down.
Good to hear that you (and the Mrs.) are liking it.

Welcome to SBG!!!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
