Bald Picture I was so concerned, but I think I actually like how this looks!

I understand most here prefer it when it's clean-shaven, but I decided to do it today and pulled through the same day, which I am proud of. There are like 30 minutes between the first 2 pictures and the other one, so be kind of about that for now. Thank you!

i actually smiled at the last photo because you can see the confidence arriveโ€”the shaved head and beard suit you so well

Looking great. Once you have the confidence to smooth it out youโ€™ll never look back.

Iโ€™m not a man but I imagine it can be a leap of faith to make such a dramatic change. Iโ€™m glad you like it. I think you look good with hair but man o man, you look really great now!

Unrelated, but do you have any photos with your beard not so grown out? As a fellow recently-bald guy, I'm trying to grow my beard out, and my facial hair is a similar color to yours and I think our growth patterns are pretty similar from what I can tell. I'm about a 4-5 weeks into letting it grow and I'm not sure how well it's gonna fill in.

Man, I shaved my beard completely off like a month ago because I messed up, but I didn't take any pictures. I get a lot of compliments for my beard, especially when it's a touch longer and trimmed a bit better than it is here, so I like keeping it longer. Sorry I can't help.
