Welcome to the neighborhood brothers
Elessar I used to be a long hair myself, It was down just above my beltline, but when I realized I was losing it I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to be a prisonor of a hat and if I can't have it all then I don't want any of it.
Dude just go for it, what do you have to lose....nothing, but you can gain alot of confidence with the freedom that comes with it -

Welcome to SBG's Elessar. I think you should try buzzing it down first to let yourself get used to how it feels. From there it will just be a matter of time before you get the urge to take it all off.
Do it at your own pace, when you feel ready, as Marty said. -

Elessar...first let me be the 9 or 99th person to welcome you here........I would like to say that the relief that you will get after you shave the dome is comparable to having a very heavy weight lifted off your chest. I was balding at a very early age like yourself and stressed over it greatly.........once I shaved the head and adjusted to the feel and look, I have never looked back.
Aww the FREEDOM -

I just looked at the date of the last post - almost a year it would seem! Although I have been back and forth on the forums. I haven't shaved my head yet. BUT! I will be doing it sometime this week. It's about time I did 'the deed'. I'm just fed up with it. Change is good. Life has been up and down since my last post. I broke up with previous mentioned gf - GOOD THING - especially considering the crap I had to put up with. My current gf is a massive support and wants me to shave it off. So I am! nothing like a bit of inspiration to lighten the heart (and love without sounding too cheesey - Ahem- anyway...)
I have purchased a Mach 3, Head slick, Head Lube, Head Shed, and headblade Daily Cleanser. I am still not 100% how to use them in terms of amount per shave etc. I have a general idea of how to go about shaving it off properly and maintaining a healthy scalp. I have actually shaved part of it off already. It was a random urge, but I was confident enough and now want to shave the rest. I really dont know why I didn't do it all in one go but I seem obsessed with the 'patch' I shaved. All the tools for the job set me back a pretty penny especially considering I dont currently have a job. Although planning to get one after I've shaved it all off.
Question, does anyone use a styptic pen/pencil on head cuts?
Oh and I'm going away for a weekend soon and wondered how long the headblade travel pack would last. I gather that it'd probably be longer than that being a 'travel pack' but I am just interested.
Thanks -

I use a styptic pencil when ever I nick the dome they work great.
