I have been shaving the dome for the last 33 years with a full scruffy type beard to complement the now freckled coconut. I have overused 2 Norelco electrical shavers and many replacement disks.
Envision the following from Robin Hood and his merry men - I have the Friar Tuck cut– clean from temple to temple going around back like somebody put a bowl on my head and then planted hair.
If I let my beard and side hair grow out 3” then using hair spray and hair gel I would look like friggin Bozo the Clown. Sure your busting a gut with this vivid Kodak moment – but more than a few people have made this remark to me. Yep all the hair is red and now going grey.
I have fun being the bald guy and make fun of myself at various times which really makes others comfortable when you are at a social outing – gets people laughing and talking.
Oh a word of warning to those who may be thinking about get a toupee – don’t! You do look like an idiot and everybody knows it. Grow a set and be a manly man for goodness sake.
Been married to my bride for 21 years.
