Welcome L2L! You and I are in a pretty similar situation, although I was a little older. I was worried about what people would say and the guys here convinced me to go for it (not so much directly, but through their posts to others.) I am so glad that I did. My family loves it and the ladies seem to like it too (my wife's not too thrilled with that part.)
Anyways, enjoy it. I have learned to accept being bald and it made me feel much better about myself. You look great bald and I am sure that it makes you feel better too.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. If I can help convince any other younger guys to shave their head then that would be great! I will now go and post in the reactions section
Welcome to SBG's Learning2, good to have you with us in slyland.
You will definitely be an influence to the younger guys that may be going through hair loss.
Great attitude, bro, keep it.
