Thinking on doing it today (Done!)
« on: September 25, 2012, 09:36:16 AM »
Hey guys,

I discovered this site today while searching information about shaving your head.
I'd like to get the "hair factor" out of my life. I have a lot more important bigger things to care about than to lose time worrying about something useless (to me, at least).

I think the 30 day challenge is a neat idea, and it goes hand in hand with the body transformation I started 3 weeks ago. (which I recommend. If links are allowed I can link to it)

I have shaved (with clippers, but to zero) my head once when I was 18, and I remember how comfortable it was. Dunno about the looks though. I don't think it suits my face, but it's not something I care too much about. (not planning on participating on any beauty contest in the foreseeable future)

So I think I'll make the move this afternoon. I think on going to a barber and let him do it. At least this time. Since I don't own clippers.

Any help/encouragement will be appreciated. Still some decisive hours ahead...  ???

I think that if it's something you want to try, then try it. Though, judging by your photos it honestly doesnt look like you are losing any hair at all! looks fine!

Shave your head and leave the scruff on your face.  That's a great look for you young dudes.

it's getting to the point where it's becoming something I think about daily, and that gets in the way of other important, more productive thoughts.

Bingo--the final answer--you need to shave it, live with a shaved head for 30 days and experience the freedom that provides.  Obviously you're at the early stages of mpb, it can go fast or slow--Mother Nature is a b_tch! >:(--so shave it, the mpb process will continue, you can't change that, but shaved you're ahead of the game and can get on with the important things in your life.

Welcome to the SBG forum, Slyer.

Yes, consider the 30 day challenge. It's a great experience and you'll adjust to your new appearance quickly and happily. It'll be a whole new you !

Let us how it goes.

Welcome to the forum Slyer. I think every guy should try it at least once so I would say go for it. The forum is full of useful advice and if you need encouragement you are in the right place! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks all for the encouragement  :)

The time is approaching, and I'm still decided to go for it. My only concern is not to scare my girlfriend when she sees me... maybe I'll send her a picture beforehand (oh oh! I just remembered she's out of battery on her cell phone)

Well, I hope she doesn't get too scared...   :XX

But I'll show you guys first... That's the first thing I'll do. Take a picture and post it here.

Your stubble beard will make the shaved head look excellent.

I can almost picture you bald. Hope you go through with a full head shave. Then post a picture.

I agree with the guys, I think you will look pretty hot with a shaved head a scruffy beard.  You never know, your girlfriend may dig it.

Slyer, welcome.

If, as you say, you are thinking about this daily then it is too much of an emotional burden. Shave it off and enjoy the freedom that brings.

I'm confident your girlfriend is more interested in the "real you" that the hairy covering. And she's going to like you all the more as you become more confident in your transformation (and, yes, please post the link you mentioned).

You're going to look great. And the time to do it is now.

Thank you all for the kind welcome and words! Feels great already!  :)
I'm just back from the gym, just eat my post workout meal and now a shower before I head on to the barber.

For those interested in transforming their body in 12 weeks, here's the workout I started 3 weeks ago (it's free and incredible quality):

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris-gethin-12-week-daily-trainer-intro.html

It's a daily video plan, that means the trainer does the transformation with you and films what he does, eats, and what you should be doing DAILY! Story short, a top notch personal trainer for free for 12 weeks. Can't beat that. Hope many of you get into it. I already see and feel the results.

Ok, enough chatting. Next thing I'll post is my shaved head.

Wish me luck!!

Looking forward to the new you. Sly for life!  Wow.  Here comes the confidence. Remember the 30 day rule.  Keep shaving.

Going from a full head of long hair to bald will most likely generate comments, but trust they will be good comments. You'll look refreshing.
