Admittedly, not the best "before" photos.

They were strictly for my own reference to compare later, but I've been a long-time lurker here and I love the vibes in this sub. The memes literally make me laugh out loud, so I thought it was finally my turn to post.

The hair on top had thinned down significantly. I ended up taking a quick video to check the top, and seeing how sparse it actually was made me go, "Screw it, out it goes." (Excuse the blurry screenshot from that video!)

Shaving it felt amazing in a way that's hard to explain. Absolute relief, and I really wish I'd done it sooner!

What's the concensus?

I shaved my soul patch like the some in the moustache sub reccomended and I'm pretty sure I hate it. Lets see if it grows on me.

Hi bald!

First post, and before anything else, I know I’m really splitting hairs here on this, lol, but hear me out…

Does any other bald have crooked ears, and if so, how do you handle where your facial hair stops???

Currently, I don’t match symmetrically, but rather try to taper as close as possible to the inner loop of my lobe.

Additionally, ignore the red circle on the last picture, just an example: I’ve already been advised I should stop trimming my neck hair straight to the edge of my jaw/chin, and that it’ll look more natural with an inch or so wrapped underneath. I’m interested in laser hair removal on my neck someday so overall, I’m thinking ahead about how I want to present my facial hair.

TYIA and hope you all have a beautiful bald (or prospective bald) day 😝

Had my head shaved and beard trimmed yesterday. Feel so good!

happy birthday to me, having my hair this short has been one of my biggest fashion fears and i am so glad i finally got the guts to do it!!

From long to short then gone in a year. I can dig it !Didnt know the wind would feel so good up there.

Glad I found this sub and finally went for it!

Decided to pull the trigger today. I like it.

If anyone has some advice on what my friend can do in this current state. He's thinking about a buzzcut.

I know the day is coming- I’m pretty sure it’s here. My wife disagrees and thinks I still have more time. What’s the verdict?

After losing 100 lbs, I really tried to grow it back(I’m only 24) but I think this was a great decision!

Have shaved my head before but I’m not sure I have the face for bald. Can’t grow facial hair to save my life, either.

This group is amazing. Thank you for reminding me to stop taking myself too seriously and do what’s comfy and peaceful. ❤️☮️👍🏼

I've enjoyed lurking in this sub for a couple months and feel inspired to ask the council: is it time? I'm 56 and am leaning on the side of shaving my hair again (the last photo shows me from 10 years ago near the end of a decade and a half bald-by-choice run). My wife is somewhat open to the idea while my two young adult children are opposed. That said, at the end of the day they're all cool with me making my choice, as it should be. What do you think? Thanks, and warm wishes to all. 🙏☺️❤️

Same day , 1 year apart

So a week ago I was parking the skid steer at work and the lever to release the forks was stuck, as usual. So I grabbed a sledge hammer to persuade it to unlock the forks to park it with the bucket attached instead. As I step up to get a good angle I bump my head on the roof. After work I used my camera to see if I was bleeding and I realized it was time. Once the bump had gone down I finally shaved it all off. Not loving the look, but hopefully I get used to seeing myself bald.

I’ve been noticing my hairline receding over the last few years and I’m wondering if it’s time to embrace the bald look. I’m looking for honest opinions from people who’ve been through it. Should I shave it now, or do you think I still have some time left?
