I've been thinking about shaving my head for about 6 months.  It seems like things are thinning out a little in the front.  I got a bad haircut last week, and yesterday decided to go for it.  I went back to the barber and he trimmed it down to the length the sides were, and I came home and got rid of the rest with my own clippers.  I found myself laughing a little maniacally with every pass of the clippers.  I jumped in the shower, and was surprised how different the water felt on my head.  I broke out a new Gillette sensor blade and lathered up and went to town.  doing the back was hard, because I couldn't see what I was doing in there.  I felt around and once I was satisfied (and the hot water was gone) I jumped out of the shower.

Everything feels different, the pillows, my CPAP machine (I use it to sleep...Obstructive Sleep Apnea) I had to jump in the shower to shave my face, cause it looked a little odd being smooth up top, and stubble on my cheeks.    I went out, and felt the chill in the air on my head.  I wanted to stay outside, drink coffee and read (and get a little sun) but it was too cold here in New Hampshire.

I think it looks good, aside from the roll of fat at the base of my head on the back of my neck.    Im hoping as I lose weight, that will get smaller as I get in better shape.

That's the beginning of my story.  I've never really posted on message boards, because I never think i have anything to say.  But I wanted to introduce my self as I come out of my shell...aren't turtles bald too??

Hey Carver,

Welcome, bro.  I, too, am looking forward to a stretch of warm weather here in New England so I can give the dome a little exposure to the sun.  BUT be careful about staying outside too long without some sunscreen on.

Welcome.  Enjoy your time here with us sly guys.  If you stick around you'll find plenty to say.
