I will be shaved bald by choice in about 1 hour by Q on 09 May, 2008 12:17

I have been considering shaving for a couple of months and will have it done this afternoon. I found this site to be very informative as I have been lurking for a few days looking for tips and tricks. I have not seen anything for a topic on how to react to coments and stares that are sure to happen when I return to the office on Monday. I will check back with the forum then, as I do not have e-mail access from home. Just in reading the posts, I can tell this is a swell group. Thanks for welcoming me. I found a link to this site on another site while doing a search for balding.

Welcome, Q. Glad to hear that you found us and are ready to do the deed. All of us here will bet that you will be extremely happy with your decision. There are several threads with good come-back lines, etc. But my experience was that the whole "unveiling" was mostly a non-event that I stressed about way too much.
Best of luck -

Q, welcome to the fold! You might get a few comments and stares, but many guys find that shaving their head is a non-event for the people around them, thus they don't get any comments. Though, my guess is that if people start staring, it will because you hold your head up high with confidence and they want to know how to get some.
P.S. How's Bond doing? -

Good luck Q...you'll love being bald once you do it..
people's reactions...never know, expect shock...
but isn't THAT part of the fun!
BTW, what's important is if YOU like it...if you do they will grow to like it! -

Q:
Great choice. Don't worry about the comments--unless you need comebacks to compliments. I'd give a "morning line" of compliments to wise cracks at least 10 to 1 at the office. Only "comeback" will be the joshing from friends and potential hositity from family--best comeback was by one of the brothers here to the comment, "Cancer?", reply, "No [insert your zodiac sign] actually!"
Used that one several times. And when one guy got pushy, I asked him directly and loudly, "If you get a lot of honeys w/ that combover Jack keep it!"

Welcome to the neighborhood brother.
Don't sweat the comments and stares like the rest have said it won't be as bad as you think.
If it does come up just hold that sly dome up high brimming with your new found confidence. -

I don't think any of us shaved our skulls to please any body but the one shaving their skull.

Welcome Q great to have you on board. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the reactions you will get (or not get) We tend to build the event bigger in OUR minds than it is to others. Just kick back and enjoy it.
