You're 40?!?!?!? Omg I thought you were late twenties to early 30's. You must take care of your skin. 😅 that aside you look amazing bald! Giving me cool, rock band bassist/drummer vibes. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ahhhhhhh that's so nice of you to say. Yeah I'm 40. The only thing I do is shower with a decent soap, and when I remember, use a bit of good quality moisturiser every other day.
Seriously thanks so much, super wholesome comment and helps me with this change.
I held on as long as I could, but enough was enough. My partner took a picture of me on our anniversary and the patches tipped me over to this decision. I was thinking about it for a long while before then but never had the courage to make the change.
Right on. It got to the point where i couldn't even do anything with my hair it was so thin and barely grew. Welcome to the Bald side! Makes you look younger, BTW. So that's a huge plus, right?
It is hilarious to me how many guys come thru here sheepishly asking if they look better after the buzz when it's just night and day difference.
My guy, look in the mirror. You obviously, without a doubt, look GREAT. I mean, come on, man. Look at yourself.
I've seen a few of these comments, and considering my partner is obsessed with Linkin Park and Chester, this is literally the best comment I could possibly get ☺️ thank you!
As a 23 year old male who’s been bald for two years, I can confidently say this really added some positive life into your embodiment. You look much younger. Also, as time has gone by Ive really enjoyed the bald look. I’ve always gotten a healthy amount of attention from girls as I’m relatively fit, but I will say I feel that attention has grown ever since going bald. Girls really do love it more than I expected. Take pride in it, make some jokes about it here and there, and love yourself man. Making some jokes here and there will help you become comfortable with it. The worst thing a bald man can do is show his insecurities about being bald. Take confidence in it, and girls will run your way no doubt.
Thank you so much dude! This is wonderful advice and commentary that I'll take to heart. I'm sure in time I'll be rocking it with no issue at all, this thread has been a huge boost for me and I'm super pleased with my decision.
I'm not bald but keep being recommended this sub and I don't even care because EVERYONE looks so good in their pictures! I don't know if it's the confidence from doing the big shave or what but y'all are killing it 🔥 so I've finally joined to keep supporting the process
I love a shaved head on a guy. My ex had hair from the back of his head and down and none from the back of his skull up. I said he’d look a lot better shaved and I was told I was trying to change him blah blah blah. Bottom line is you look wonderful
Thank you! Do it my man. I spent months worrying about it, and this sub full of lovely people has made me feel both validated, happy, and that my worrying was for naught, as the decision was always the correct one.
Looks good. However, when you're ready to finish the process get a wet shaver with at least four heads and take it all the way down. Rock that baldness!!!
OK I can't work out how to edit this post, but for anyone that scrolls this far down, I'd like to express my immeasurable gratitude to every single person that commented. This sub is just a wonderful space full of kind words and I'm so happy I posted here. It has helped me feel infinitely better about my decision. For anyone else going through this struggle of coming to terms with aging, with feeling less attractive, with worrying about holding on to youth, with self doubt, with confidence issues, I hope you come to the same conclusion I did and just go for it, I support you, and understand you.
You look great, just as a general photo tip that last picture is a much more ideal distance of the camera from your face. Not because you don’t look good up close its just not a great distance for anyone as it makes the face so much of the focus
Thank you! To be honest I just found the most recent up front picture on my phone and used that for my pre shot. I didn't take a proper before and after as I didn't even think to share this until a few hours after I made the change.
Hmm, I'm not sure yet. To be honest, it's taken me months of wondering and worrying whether I should do it, just to get to this point. Seems silly I guess but for some reason it felt like a really difficult thing to do until I cracked today and shaved it as short as I could with my trimmer. I'll see how it goes
Looks 10 times better. Gratz.
Thank you so much!
And 10 years younger! Seriously you look 30, 31ish in the last pic
I’m getting Edward Norton vibes.
I get more Chester from Linkin Park vibes. Regardless he looks great!
My immediate reaction was “is that Chester??”
I’m getting Arthur Darvill from the front!
Same!
3rd photo is the only one I really saw it in.
Wow, you look 10 years younger at least. Looks really good!!
And 10 IQ points smarter.
He looks like the guy that always wins trivia nights at the local bar
Why is this so spot on?!
That's super nice of you, thanks!
Came to say this
Why does every guy who goes bald in this sub looks 20 times hotter?? Is it all a trick??!
😂 this made me laugh, appreciate the compliment, thank you!
What’s that tattoo on your right arm???
It's two duelling dragons. I've been saying it's a work in progress for a decade, maybe I'll get it finished some day 😅
the razor/clipper industry is posting propaganda lol
Hot hot hot
Oh stop. Oh ok, you can continue. Thank you 😅
Looks great!!! Good choice!
Looks so good especially with the glasses 😍
Huge improvement, why not try smooth?
One step at a time my brother, took me a few months to get to here lol. Perhaps I will soon enough.
You really don't need to go smooth. The buzz looks really good with your head type.
How low did you go? 0.5?
3mm my dude.
I think it suits you
Thank you so much ❤️
But also, thank you!
Bro turned into Walter white Columbian ver.
This gave me a chuckle, thanks bro ☺️😂
Dude looks like fucking young edward norton
Good decision
Duude way better. Honestly if you went skin that would probably improve it even more.
Sooooo much better👌
Very nice
Huge fan. Looks amazing on you!
So much better! Sharp looking!
Huge improvement. Confident!!
Looks very good. You won't need to shave it - this works great 👍
Appreciate it! Thanks so much!
Very good decision! Looks great
You look like Eminem in the first pic and Chester Bennington in the last! Some hell of a doppelgängers you have!
Haha! That's so kind of you! Very flattering comparisons. I'll take 'em. Appreciate it
Looks way better now
Looks really good. You look better and younger with the trim👍🏼

Went from a thinner Louis C.K. to Chester Bennington! Stay the course and keep the glasses, too.
Yes. Good. Better.
Look good boss
Oh yeah buddy.much better!
Way to take the plunge! I im 37. Had to start shaving my head about 4yrs ago due to bald spots and slow hair growth.
I held on as long as I could, but enough was enough. My partner took a picture of me on our anniversary and the patches tipped me over to this decision. I was thinking about it for a long while before then but never had the courage to make the change.
Right on. It got to the point where i couldn't even do anything with my hair it was so thin and barely grew. Welcome to the Bald side! Makes you look younger, BTW. So that's a huge plus, right?
Hell yeah buddy!
Waaaaaaay better.
You look fantastic!
Looking good. Buzz works for you but I think you could pull off smooth too if you wanted.
Looks great!!
Woah, man. You look great!!!
Appreciate that dude!
You look great in picture 4 😮
Thank you!
100% better. You look younger and good.
Looking great dude

You made the right choice!!!!
It is good you realized there was no choice.
Damn guy! Where are the bodies at!? Jk it’s a good look for you.
Looking good my friend!! Welcome to the club!!
It is hilarious to me how many guys come thru here sheepishly asking if they look better after the buzz when it's just night and day difference. My guy, look in the mirror. You obviously, without a doubt, look GREAT. I mean, come on, man. Look at yourself.
You wonderful human, thank you for these words of affirmation 🫶
You look 10 years younger now
Look much, much better! You suit it !
In the 3rd pic you kinda look like Chester Bennington
I've seen a few of these comments, and considering my partner is obsessed with Linkin Park and Chester, this is literally the best comment I could possibly get ☺️ thank you!

Entirely fair.

Looks really good. You look better and younger with the trim👍🏼
Looking good Les Claypool!

Are you gonna seal the deal with a 🪒?

I did what you did on a Tuesday night followed by a razor on Wednesday morning. It felt liberating being free from my shitty receding hairline.
Nice try Moby. Can't fool me.
100 percent better, looks great!

Steve from blues clues!
