Quote from: RazorX on June 16, 2007, 08:52:55 PMYou know, I've looked back at old photos of myself that were taken not long before I shaved. I was thinning, too but did not realize how bald I was at the time, either. It wasn't until I looked back at the photos a few years later that I realized how little was left on top. I think we really tend not to see ourselves as others see us. It kind of gives you an understanding -- to a point -- of the guys who do the combover and think they're disguising their hair loss (though enough has been written and enough jokes have been told about that, there really isn't any excuse for it anymore).Sometimes you just need someone to hit you with a big dose of the truth. I can be hard to take at first, but in the end "You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free"... or is it the Truth shall just make you mad....

RazorX ; you called me "BALD" ! ! --- THANKS! Yeah your words were 'harsh' but in a good way; just giving me a reality check that I have subconsciously given to myself ; but coming from another person, it is ... liberating. There are some photos of me from about 4 years back taken looking down on me from a balcony; and it the top ever thin ! ! I knew then I was pretty much in the ranks of the bald, and I guess that may have been when I realized that buzzcuts and flattops really didn't work for me. It's still gonna take me a while; but you have given me one more really good push in the right direction. Thanks, Man , John
To be honest I wish I all my hair would totally fall out so I wouldn't have to shave it anymore and get that stubble effect. I actually envy guys I see that I can tell have actually went bald for real.
Phew at least its not just me Thought I was losing it
Nope, we've all been there. Listen to the wisdom of those who've gone before you. There's only one way to end the torture. You know what you have to do; when are you going to do it?
I really dont know, Im going to keep it buzzed down though. Ive got alot more hair than I realised, I thought it would be very thin if I buzzed it but it isnt. My train of thought is I wont have hair much longer in my life the way Im going(as Im only 23) so I might as well keep it.

My train of thought is I wont have hair much longer in my life the way Im going(as Im only 23) so I might as well keep it. I can understand that. But have you considered that now might be a good time for a trial run? You're buzzed anyway so it will grow back quickly. At least then you'll know what it looks like and that will make it much less traumatic for you when the time comes to go sly permanently. You're only 23 but believe me, it isn't any easier at 33.
Plus, and its hard to tell without a pic, but by going a trial run and shaving now you can look your 23 years rather than thinning and older.
You're only 23 but believe me, it isn't any easier at 33.
bald works for you. but buzzed ain't bad either. you kinda resemble lance armstrong.
