Mate well all I can say is that pic of yours looks damn fine. You've taken the truest, strongest, most authentic course of action and should be proud!

Golden, pleased that you found this site.  There are thousands of bald guys on here to support you.  Your picture looks fantastic.  Bald looks really good on You.  

A head shaved bald look so much better than very thin/balding hair.  I wish more guys would do it.

Some of us are bald by choice, BBC, and others in various stages of natural baldness, but just about all of us enjoy the look and feel of a completely shaved head.

Welcome.  Hope we can encourage you.

Welcome! Dude, you look like a natural sly; your scalp is indeed "Gold'n".....Enjoy and participate often!

Welcome.

You look great sly. you will get a lot of support on this web site.

Multiple accolades for not falling into the hair "restoration" trap, sir, and a hearty congratulation on going Sly!

I am sorry you had such an abrupt encounter with MPB, but, in my honset opinion, you made an excellent decision to go smooth. You look great.

So many guys here with MPB have discovered that shaving off their hair is very liberating. You no longer have any reason to worry about whether the bald patch is getting bigger or how to style what is left of your hair. You actually will blend in with the growing number of men who also decided to shave it off. It has become a very mainstream style.

Glad you are with us, Golden

You look great with the scraped skull. Nothing to worry about there.

That being said you can mull the whys and wherefores of why you started losing your hair ad nauseum. To paraphrase the Buddhists life comes with a built in supply of pain, that's inevitable. Suffering, though, is optional. To toss this around and around inside your head is to ask to suffer with it. Or you can just accept that the way of the world as it pertains to your head is for it to be without hair and move ahead. 

Top of the morning to you guys,

To try and answer a few of you (not necessarily in the right order):
I guess the lights were not too bad when I took that picture… Seriously, thanks a bunch for your posts, it does help. However, comes to think about it, I think I took a few harsh hits following my first “close shave” and have not had to the time to process what came afterwards. My point is not that I find myself ugly (it is irrelevant at this time) but it does make a huge change in who I am. My hair were kind of a significant part of who has I was, (so are my teeth you will say and thank god those will not fall off in the foreseeable future…) but I must say I am having trouble adjusting.   
Been “rocking the look” (I dig that expression!) for about 3 months and I can tell you, people sure look at me funny hehe. One fact that could be helpful to your site (In case you ever want to open a “did you know?” section in the forum), in China during ancien times, male shaving their heads were considered iron willed people in Guangdong province.
I sure do hope to post contributions in the future, further exploration has finished convincing me on this site being a frigging gold mine. Just came back from the Head shaving section, I am thinking about going for the shining bowling ball this week-end. If I am getting bald, might as well finish what Mother Nature started... I think I will give it a go if only for you guys comments.
About BBC, now that is an interesting subject. I am yet to understand how one person would prefer no having hair (maybe because they can go back whenever they want?), but I guess the newbie I am still has a long way to go. It takes some confidence and actual boldness to pull that off.
Afterwards, it is going to come down to being A bald guy vs The bald guy (but I prefer not to think about it right now).
One step at a time.
Thanks again

Goldn
