Pulled the trigger on the first step by Eric The Red on 17 Oct, 2011 13:13

Hello fellas,
After nearly 25 years of hair peices, I went to the barber while ago and took the first step of having my head buzzed. I found this site yesterday, which candidly was inspiration to do what I had thought about doing for a long time. Wife wanted me to do it before our beach vacation back in early June, should have listened--because I am a cue ball with a face tan...
Wife doesn't know, will see what she says when she gets home from work.
No regrets. Actually a little liberating. May have to find a tanning salon, I have a cousin's wedding reception to go to this Sunday night. -

You'll feel good Sunday night, that I can say
I'm glad you took it straight.
And yes, I have the tanning problem too, but it'll be fixed as soon as my face skin color will go to normal, and then in the spring it'll be all alike:)
Congratz for your choice

Welcome to the group. We have a lot of ex-piece wearers or whatever they are called on this site and I'm sure they will chime in. Just let nature take care of evening out the skin tone. Screw the salons and the sprays.

hey - welcome
avoid the tanning salon. go to walmart/target/walgreens/riteaid etc and get a tube of Jergen's Natural Glow Express. yes it's a self tanner but it does not turn you orange if you follow the instructions. it will do a good job of getting the blinding whiteness toned down. they make 2 versions of Natural Glow, express is the high octane one. don't see why you could not use it right over the stubble of the buzz.
enjoy living without the wall to wall on your head ! -

Congrats on the new freedom. Now, shall we start a pool to see if you get a head rub or two and the reception?

I'm gonna chime in with the guys who advise avoidance of tanning salons. Even a basal cell carcinoma is a major problem when you have to have a chunk the size of a quarter chopped out of your forehead like I did.
The tan is cosmetic. It has no real importance. And a tan pales when you are about to go under the knife. -

Good advice on the tanning and thanks for the welcome.
I'm kinda digging the bald look. Feel sort of hip
Should have done this a long time ago. Gotta admit, I've been putting this off for years and might have kept doing so had I not found this website.
Kudos to you sly bald guys. -

Congratulations, welcome, and enjoy.
The best way to get some quick color is the Jergens or L'Oreal as you won't end up orange. It'll get less white everday though on it's own.

Wife grinned ear to ear the minute she saw me. Not totally sure what that meant....but she later gave me one of her leg razors and I lathered up with the gel and cleaned my skull.

I bet you thought "why didn't I do this years ago - like 25 years".
Enjoy the new freedom and pleased your wife likes it. My wife took a few days to adjust years ago but now wouldn't have it any other way. -
