Shaved my head.

Well, I started shaving my head in early January. I’m not really sure why. The reactions have been mostly positive. I have only had a couple bad experiences. I like it!

I’m not sure what motivated me. I suppose I noticed that as short as I was wearing it, I couldn’t see much difference in shaving versus shearing. I also don’t handle the clippers as well as I do the blade, I think. Finally it seemed like I could finally have a look I liked. I think I succeeded.

The reactions from my family and friends have been positive. My mom and my brother say they like it. My dad seems to enjoy it. The only dissenting voice has been my wife. She won’t say she doesn’t like it, but to quote her, “I guess there are things about me you don’t like.” Ouch.

There are really only 2 downsides thus far. I really notice the cold. As little hair as I have had, I never thought being completely bald we be so noticeable. It is.

Also since I shave every day, I have had 1 really bad cut and 1 painful cut. The bad cut was in the back of my head. Those 5 bladed razors can take off some serious skin. The wife said she saw “white meat”. Yuck. Also I cut my ear today. I’m quite a bleeder.

All things considered I like the new look. I think I look a little like King Pin from the old Spiderman comics. That’s not a compliment. However I think I like that better than looking like “The Winner.” Which I am gonna watch.
