holy shit I actually love it 🥹

After a 10+ year battle I finally did the thing yesterday. Looking at this community really helped my build up the courage to let it go. Thanks!

I did it guys. Feeling better now, but needs time to get used to it and build up some confidence with it

What are your thoughts on shaving down to the skin versus leaving 1–2 millimeters?

Also considering beard length

I'm wt work today, freshly shaved and ready for the day. Tomorrow we celebrate!

We suspect we know what the council is going to say!

So I just went for it after scrolling through this sub for a while now. Ido think that it was the correct decision. But I still like to here from the council. :)

Decided to give up the ghost after the advice of a friend. Surprised my wife with it and she was blown away and keeps telling me how hot I look. I personally don't see it and I'm still very unsure if this was a good idea though...

He's over 6 foot and looks good from the front but the top and back are extremely problematic. What is the councils opinion?

Was thinking about going moustache, have stubble and stache atm, most I’ve seen my face in years.

Want opinions on the options:

Pic 1-3 stache and stubble
Pic 4 same but little longer than stubble
Pic 5-6 short beard
Pic 7 longer beard

Or clean shaven with stache. Full clean shave not an option.

Thanks

A bit indifferent now and again, sometimes wish I had some thick nice hair, then another aspect is the absolute ease of not having to care about taking care of it. Walking under AC vents still tend to make me laugh and chilly on a bald head🤌🏽😂

Went ahead and bit the bullet. What do yall think

Dear council, with fear and doubt in mind I ask: is it time?

​

Glad to be part of this illustrious club

Edit: thanks for all the nice words everyone. I was fearful I was going to uncover an unsightly mark or blemish while I was shaving, but things turned out well!

I posted on here before because I had to cut my hair bald due to it being overgrown. However, now I'm just going bald officially because it's just more efficient.

My barber is getting his last few months in at Barber college and I have to wait until 7-9 pm just to get my haircut. My schedule is hectic, I don't have time for the little things, and I don't want to have a head full of uncut hair as an instructor.

All I need is to get my mustache back and here's to a new me.

Appreciate all the feedback! Feels great and liberating!

So the writings on the wall, crown started thinning a few years back, front started going about a year ago after an injury.

Had tough times with self image through life, and the curls were a big part of my identity and one of the few parts of myself that I was always happy with.

Looking for advice as much as anything, styling and whatnot, should I try a buzz? Full shave?

Couple details, I cannot grow a beard due to work requirements and the need to don fire gear or other respirators at any possible moment. Moustache is allowed as long as it’s not too big to break a respirator seal.

Only problem is I’ve never been in love with the stache, but it’s the only facial hair I’m allowed.

Working up the courage to bite the bullet. This sub has been a great resource for helping to blunt the coming blow. Appreciate everyone here.

I guess it works on me... 'cause the wife likes it.

Edit: I am not a I generated. All I did was use my Android to remove the background and for some reason it put that on there. If I was AI generated I would have removed the hat tan line , remove the wrinkles , smoothed out the skin , and made myself look younger .

I don't often see the back of my head but it feels like it's time.

I reached earlier for opinion (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bald/s/KKYarTrNDQ)

Then I finally took the plunge! I know those who will jump with “job not finished” but that what my barber could do for the moment.

Anyway, thanks all for opinions the other day. Now time to go out and shock some friends :)
