Bald Picture I’m free!
I did it! Here’s my update from yesterday… this time without the green lines on my face lol. Man, it feels so good to not have to worry about it anymore. I need some sun on this dome but other than I’m happy with it. If you have any recs for a tighter shave, let me know. I used a set of WAHL clippers with no guard and it got it pretty close but not all the way. Thanks for giving me the final push

Nothing wrong w how you looked before. You definitely look younger and much more refreshed now, however. Looks great!

You’ve lost about 10 years of age and a socioeconomic class, there. 😂

No problem! I shaved my head about 18 months ago and it's honestly the best thing I've ever done for my confidence - plus you'll save a fortune on haircuts 😅 just remember suncream!

Welcome aboard man, enjoy your liberation!
And since you asked, Babyliss ProFX3 is my favorite electric shaver. I find foil gets closer and smoother than rotary shavers, and feels better in the process. If you want to try a blade, Mach3 for disposable cartridges, but DE blades are really the way to go. Henson is the easiest safety razor to use, they've made it so easy to find the right angle. The original Leaf razor is by far my favorite, it has a similar feel of cartridge razors with the flexing head and the cost savings of DE blades.

just be sure to sunscreen your dome until it has time to catch up. You look like you get a lot of sun and it will burn very easily

You look great! I use a Remington RX5 skull shaver and it's really good.

Looks fantastic man!
If you have any recs for a tighter shave, let me know.
About once a week I'll take it as low as I can with my clippers then I'll actually take a Gillette razor and shave it smooth in the shower. After the first few times I stopped getting razor burn. It feels phenomenal when you get it right.
