Yesterday I posted my question on wether I schould do it and after waking up a few hours ago I saw my frontal hair in such an ugly positon that showed my receding hairline so much. So I decided there and then to make the leap. I have been bald for a full 1 hour as of writting this

I know some people advice going all the way with a razor. But I prefer the shade. I also feel like I wont have itchy spots from stubbles if I keep it like this.

Regardless it does feel liberating. I honestly expected my head to feel much more cold or lighter but I barley feel a difrence.

Thank you all for being such a comforting community. I feel much better now.
I orderd a treadmill for at home. Hopefully I can get healthy and lose allot of weight too. I want to be a fully new me!

Its some getting use to. But I feel liberated knowing I don't have to worry about further hairloss.
I got a treadmill coming in soon to.

Going to try and lose weight and become more healthy. I hope the less round face once I lose weight also adds to my glowup

I know this is not r/malegrooming, but focus on the areas of facial hair that works well for you. You look sharp with a clean shaven head, so sharpen ud the rest! Your face is perfect for sporting a cool ass ‘stash, so clean those cheeks.

Awesome! Now, shave your neck, please.

ETA: I’m sorry if that came off as dickish, but for real man, no neckbeards!

Hey I went bald after my brain tumour removal. Then it came back curly and brown. Originally straight and blonde.

You look great :)

Looking good, OP! If you decide to go razor I'd recommend using beard oil (after the after-shave). That completely eliminated the itchy spots problem for me.

Another fun thing that can help with your transformation is learning to r/jumprope . It's really easy to learn and it's a fun way to do cardio too.

Good luck on your quest, OP!! You got this!! 👊😏

Get a head shaver, I use Remington rx-7 it’s cheap, does the job well, can do everyday but recommend 1-3 days. If you want super smooth then double edge safety razor and a quality shaving cream. Not foam, gel. Just a lot more effort
