Exploring BBC by tobler1 on 28 Jan, 2014 10:46

Very long time lurker here...I have no issues with hairloss or recession at all, but have always thought shaved heads were cool. About 10 years ago, I tried out the look, enjoyed certain things about it, but didn't think it was an especially good look for me.
Since then, I've been working as an attorney and have cuts fairly conservative, though skirting the edge with some fades and flattops. Well, I had never been fulfilled working as an attorney, so I resigned and my last day of work was before Christmas. I'm now traveling for 6 weeks, and shortly after am going to take a course so I can get certified to teach English to non-native speakers, with the plan to move to Asia for a spell and teach.
Right before the trip, I indulged in a mohawk, but I got the urge to revisit BBC on Saturday night, and, well, here I am now. Initially, I sort of thought, "Oh, f*$k, what have I done," but it's really been growing on me a lot. I think the full beard really helps the look.
I sort of assumed I would shave it and promptly start growing it out, but I don't think that's happening anymore...It's been too much fun, and I am really liking the feel and look immensely.
Anyway, before/after shots are attached for your enjoyment.

Looks good! Bald and bearded for sure, but then again, I'm kinda biased, hahaha!

Good look on you, and of course, I am biased as well toward bald and full beard. I think the contrast of bald and bearded is awesome.

Wow, you look good bald. I'm BBc also, and am loving the look and feel.

I think bald flatters your head shape better than having hair. The beard is excellent, too.

Welcome fellow bald by choice attorney. I love what I do, but I applaud you for following your dream. I taught English in Korea for a year in the 90s and loved it, although I'm sure that had something to do with the fact that my school was located in Seoul. I had another friend more recently move to a more rural area of Korea and she was not a big fan.
Good luck to you. -

I agree with others that you look good with a beard and a clean scalp. Welcome to SBG.

Something bold about a BBC guy with a beard. I'm there with you.
I've never gone back to hair since shaving two years ago. I really like the bald look and feel. Hope you enjoy it as much. Looks good on you.
Welcome.

Tobler,
I am impressed with the bald head and beard as well as the decision to abandon a career you felt was unfulfilling for something that may be more rewarding. Best of luck to you! -

Congratulations on pursuing your dreams and best of luck. You look great with a shaved head and beard. Keep up the shaved look. I am bbc and don't miss having hair. A slick dome feels and looks awesome.
