So I went to the barber today and I’m very happily shaved smooth again. Given the length of my hair and the winter he was initially hesitant when I said I wanted to be shaved (he was concerned about the cold most of all). But he soon obliged and quickly buzzed me down to zero with clippers before putting a hot towel on my head and then scraping away the remaining hair with a straight razor. He tidied up my beard and so I look and feel like a new man. Totally liberating. I’m not sure why I waited this long to be shaved again.
My head was nicely shaved but not entirely smooth after the razor. So I used my new Andis foil shavers to take away any remaining fuzz against the grain. It took a while. But my head is now so smooth I can’t stop rubbing it!
I’ve attached pics. Let me know what you think.
The smile on your face says it all! -

A good barbershop head shave feels great. It must feel good to be slick again.

How is your 2nd day of baldness going Jack? You probably cleaned it up with your shaver. How have the reactions been? Wear it proudly, looks great on you.

Going great, thanks. I’ve used the Andis shaver twice. It gets an incredibly smooth finish but takes a while. This morning I used a Mach 3 which was quicker. Reactions have been fine - although some are quite bemused at why I would shave a good head of hair. But I am loving it - the liberation from worrying about hair, the smoothness when freshly shaved, and the strong natural look. I’m less sure about the beard as it gets longer. I might try just stubble instead. Latest pics (after Mach 3) attached

You look great shaved. And maybe give the beard some time. You can always stubble down later if you don't like the feeling of it thick.

It looks good on you. And I suggest you let the beard grow for a while before you give up on it. I suggest three months of beard growth both to see how it will look and to make the mental adjustment.

I think the beard looks awesome, myself, if it helps sway you at all. :-)

It looks great, slickjack!
I must say that my hair was thinning, and that's why i shaved my head, but now i'am feeling like i added a new layer of manhood to myself, if i knew this, i would probably shave my head even if everything were good with my hair.
