Looking back...I probably should have done it a long time ago...
As you can tell by the first couple of pictures, I should have done it a loong time ago. But from the front, (which only I view I could see) I thought it didn't look that bad!
And it wasn't until I saw myself and the top of my head in a self-checkout camera, and thought "holy shit, that can't be me! It's gotta be some other old bald guy holding onto scraps" lol
So I took those first couple of pictures and really saw how bad it got! So I turned to you, the honorable Council of Bald, even though I already knew the answer already, and asked "should I do it" and of course you guided me (with some direct honest truths by some of you lol) and I FINALLY DID IT!
How does it look? I know its not technically blade shaved bald yet, but that's the next step. But please be kind, because I am still going through the stages of grief about losing one of the few things about myself I liked: my big thick dark wavy/curly hair! Lol
Thanks again to everyone here, and especially The Council Of Bald for motivating me to do it finally!
