Virtual head shaving dilemma- anybody with experience? by AJB1015 on 26 Mar, 2012 22:14

Hey guys, here are two pics of me, one is me and the other is a bald version I got from a virtual headshaving site. I've been highly considering shaving the dome or at least buzzing it to deal with my loss of locks. I really like the bald version, and if I were sure that the real thing would look like that I would do it in a second. Problem is, I can't help but doubt the accuracy of this thing, and still fear that a shaved head wouldn't be reasonable look for me because of the shape. Has anybody had any experience with a virtual head shave? Did it look like the real thing? Can I pull it off? Thanks guys. This site is awesome.

From your photo mother nature is telling you that sly will be arriving soon. Grasp the nettle, shave down and put a big smile on your face. Confidence is all. Try the 30 day rule after shaving.

If the pictures are any indications, you also would look better bald.

Asher. anticipation is killing you. Don't wait for June.
If you see my posts from this past winter, I was going to shave my head when my wife went on her winter vacation. Anticipation. I jumped the gun and when ahead early with the shave.
One comment on the pictures. The facial expression on your photo, with hair, looks like you are ready to shave your head (sad). After you shave your head, it has a tendency to put a smile of your face. It will doubly look better. Notice most of the guys have a confident smile in their profile pictures. That's a plus.
The virtual headshave is what it will look like. You'll rock the look. Go for it sooner than later. Those of us who are bald by choice, know what you're going through. It's not that big a deal. (Now, time for me to head to the shower and shave bald again for today!)

You'l look great. June is a long time away. If you have decided to give sly a try, just go ahead and do it - or buzz down to a very short cut which will give you a close idea of what you'll look like.
Virtual head shaves give you an idea of how you'll look, but they can't show you how you will feel. We can all attest that a shaved head feels incredibly good. Why wait to experience it? -

You look like a very young guy but it is time to make the move. I would do it now if I were you. That way, by June your head will already be "seasoned" and not look white compared to the rest of you head/face that has seen the Spring sun.
And this leads to a word of caution for both you and Nassauguy. Get a good sunscreen and use it when in the sun!! -

Great advice.
I agree that you would look and feel much better sly. -

I agree with npsbg. The feel of a shaved head is incredible. The first day or so, you'll think that everyone is looking at your head. The first day that I shaved, I got a dozen comments on my bow tie. Nothing about my shaved head!
There you go. You don't have to wait until June. Kill the anxiety. Do it now. Then by June, you'll have a tan on top and won't look pale white while on vacation! -

No need to wait. You should shave your head clean right away.
The virtual head shave may give you an idea of how you'll look. But when you have a real head shave you get two real benefits, which the virtually head shave will never give you:
the confidence of being out and about carrying your new look
the great smooth feeling after you've shaved your head
there's only one way to find out... -
