The SHADOW, the STUBBLE--it's really getting to me. Using the Power Fusion & Headslick it doesn't show up until around 5 or 6 in the evening, but it's bugging me. It's been 5 weeks Sly and I caught myself in the mirror the other night about 10p and I looked like a bald guy with the runway. I wonder if there are any long term MPB Slys who can tell me whether you ever get over the bad feeling when the shadow is there reminding you that you are "small b" bald, I mean I like the shaved head look, until the shadow emphasises the runway reminds me that I'm MPB bald--and I feared that for a long time and obviously still do. Consciously I "accept" the fact, but obviously just below conscious it's still very much there. I realize it's probably only in my mind but it bugs the hell out of me. How long does it take until when you see the "runway" clearly defined by the shadow that you don't panic. Do you just gradually lose the panic about small "b" bald, do you learn to accept it? I'm going to a wedding this weekend and I am already getting concerned about how late I can possibly do the second shaving to avoid the shadow making me look MPB bald rather than a shaved head at the reception.This probably sounds like the ravings of an idiot, but this really bugs me.
BA:Weekdays, 6:30a, after the gym. Weekends, 9:30-10a, again after the gym. If that sounds like I'm and exercise addict, I confess I'm rather mean if I don't hit it at least 6 days a week. I don't want to go around all day until 3 or 4 with the scruffy look--and the runway showing. Right now I'm thinking regular shave at 9:30a or so, then another at 4p, so unless we really get going at the reception and after, I'll make it. It just bugs me I can't get over the mental thing. I mean it's not like I'm not going to let it grow out. Why can't I just learn that I'm not going to be the main attraction and that probably no one but me will notice, after all there will be lots of bald guys there who haven't seen the light of Sly?When I read these last two posts I sound like I'm a little over the edge on this, but except for this MPB baldness business that's nearly a phobia, I'm really a fairly level headed guy.
