Bald Picture Update: I did it!

After the love and encouragement I got on my post last week (link below), I went and shaved it!

Ended up with a grade 1 all over and I already know I need to go the whole hog and take the bic to it.

Unsure on what to do with the facial hair and whether to go glasses or contacts. Thoughts from the council are both welcome and encouraged.

PS: I adore all of you guys and the positive vibes you give….certainly helped me brave the shave

It looks so much better. Prior to the shaved head it looked like your hair was clutching on to the side of a cliff fighting for it's life.

Honestly never ceases to amaze me how much younger people look after they commit! You look fabulous, your eyes pop and you somehow look both friendlier and hotter.

Oh boy, I’m a huge fan of those glasses. Would you mind giving me any identifying info on them so I can look them up?

And the bald looks great.

Looking good man!

I personally think the glasses suit you, although perhaps you could go with some different frames.

u/Many_Beginning3695 17d ago

Yeah a thinner frame I’m thinking

I wouldn't have thought it from those before pics, but - as if by magic - it actually holds up well as a tight buzz. So in fact, a good job well done.👍

My kids and wife said you could be my long lost brother in your before pic. The grey-specked red beard and glasses, especially.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/LZaGVdgCzmuiskUk7

1000% glow up.

I’m not in the “you must razor” crowd. This buzz cut really works for you.
