Congratulations, SWH, and Happy New Year to you also.
Congratulations! You have made a wise decision and I'm sure that you will be much happier now that you won't be constantly worrying about how your hair looked. I am glad for you younger members that shaved heads are much more acceptable now than they were back when I started losing my hair in my early twenties during the early 1980's.
I think back now about all the pity parties I held for myself because I was losing my hair to a natural genetic process that I had inherited from both sides of my family and I feel so ashamed. Especially when I see a commercial for St. Judes Children's' Hospital. There's one child after another, boys and girls alike, who have lost their hair as a result of the treatments they are receiving to try to save their lives. Some have lost even more than their hair (amputations) and those dear kids aren't sitting there whining about losing their hair.
We could all learn a lot from watching children!

Congratulations, you've made the right choice!
Good to hear that the experience was such a positive one for you.
Hello Sad,
That's a great story. Enjoy the freedom from worrying about hair loss. Time to change your handle to something other than Sadwithout Hair!
And Jim is so right. Losing one's hair is such a small "problem" given what some people have to go through in life.
Happy New Year!
I love the freedom and my mind can now focus on better things that actually matter.
What an excellent statement. I wish more guys could have that outlook and understand how liberating going smooth can be.
Congratulations on taking control, sir!
