Man I'm glad I started shaving my head when I did. For anyone out there also dealing with going bald, fully committing usually looks better than pretending it's not happening.
My dad and uncle look like twins, but my dad always shaved his head and my uncle tried the 3-hair combover to cover it up. So I grew up seeing how much better my dad always looked, and the second I noticed my receding hairline, I committed. Looking back at old pics, it was still probably a year or two later than I should have. The blinders are real.
I've tried it before, but I've been told that when I shave my head I look as if I'm on cancer treatment. So I guess I still look better with the hair that I've got.
Depending on what they meant by that it could be they needed a period to adjust to the new look. I know it took a while before people forgot what I even looked like with hair.
Yeah, it's definitely YMMV. Also I read that minoxidil is only good for hair loss in the back, not for receding hairline. I was using it for almost a decade before I switched to a buzz cut, then shaved it all off. Unfortunately my hair loss was primarily in the front, so I'm not sure minoxidil ever did much.
(Fellow trans person btw, though I haven't tried to use it before testosterone started kicking my hairline the way my genetics were pointing 😅️)
Sorry about that fr, I just really wanna give earnest props to people like Stavros Halkias and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also I don't have much in the tank myself so this is a little like an Obama giving Obama a medal thing.
Clear aloe gel from the drugstore. Not the aftersun with "cooling" medicine for sunburn, you've been warned.
Just the plain clear stuff. Prevents ingrown hairs and makes it all sterile and not inflamed. Good slippage when dry too. You'll be sticky for about 5 minutes while it sets.
If you get a small trimmer and trim carefully (!) you can skip the phase where your hairs grow through your skin, which likely causes the itch. If the itch is there immediately after shaving and only lasts for the first hours after you shaved, the itch is more likely caused by the chemicals you put on your skin, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin and avoid everything with alcohol (such as after-shave).
everyone else in jails and prisons get access to razors, unless you are on a watch. So he is either doing this to be like 'look how they treated me, poor me alpha tears' or like I said before they have him on a watch.
He used to kick box in a highly suspect organisation - and most recently had his ass handed to him by a younger fitter stronger… reality tv star who doesn’t even know how to box, let alone fight, in a “celebrity” boxing event.
TLDR Can fight a bit but was never ever in any way, shape or form an elite martial artist.

Taint looking like he's about to play Gollum in the Armenian live-production of The Hobbit.
What has Gollum ever done to deserve this?
And Armenia.
And my axe
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I know it's worn out, but god damnit it was the perfect time for this. :::
I'll give it to you 😆👍
And the concept of live performance
lol that too
Slithered all over middle earth starving and eating dead things to bite off Frodo Baggin's finger? Is this a trick question?
He stole babies from cribs and ate them.
Blame Andy Serkis, the racist prick.

I'm planning on getting an incredibly unrealistic wig and refusing to admit that I've gone bold.
Just put a furry animal on your head.
as someone in the same boat, 💯️ agreed

When people tell you this, respond with a thousand-yard stare, wait 15 seconds, and then quietly say, "I don't want to talk about it right now."
Depending on what they meant by that it could be they needed a period to adjust to the new look. I know it took a while before people forgot what I even looked like with hair.
> How come you look so good?
< After a while people forgot how I used to look
(No shade though, i'm genuinely happy you're happy with how you look.)
Can you grow a beard? I had a couple of years after shaving where I looked like a thumb, but a beard changed everything.
The beard changed everything ... from the front.
Sorry to break it to you like this.
Party in the front, thumb in the back. I can dig it.
if the beard is big enough you can see it from the back.
Also your head might not have tanned yet, that helps.
I’ve made it to my mid 40s with full coverage. Not sure if I would shave it completely or go with a #1 or #2 all over when my time comes.
I guess it depends on where/how it happens?
You can also take DHT blockers to prevent hair loss, and minoxidil to turn vellus hair into terminal hair
I did minoxidil for a bit, but honestly it wasn't worth the effort and money in my opinion.
Ah fair, my friend used it to grow facial hair before he started T, and it seemed to work well for him, but ig results may vary :)

Yep. As soon as it starts going I'm gonna go turtle-wax bald
Shout out to the dudes with fucked up hairlines who aren't pieces of shit.
Hey there, fuck you pal
Sorry about that fr, I just really wanna give earnest props to people like Stavros Halkias and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also I don't have much in the tank myself so this is a little like an Obama giving Obama a medal thing.
What remains of my hair deserves a participation medal.
Fellas please shave your balls. This picture is a warning.
Shaved or not, my balls look WAY better than this shit stain.
I vote we have one more set of your balls and one less set of Tates.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Oh wait. That is Iraq. Sorry.
Soooo itchy, like, wouldn't wish upon my enemies itchy. Can't be scratching my junk in public that often.

Dawg even if I just trim an inch off, the new hair ends hit skin funny and I can't handle it. Fucking curlies
In that case i'd argue anyone seeing your balls just has to deal with it. And on the positive side; fashion changes.
Yea, luckily I'm married, so nobody looks at my balls but me.
Damn. I started to laugh then realized I'm you

Trump isn't saving him this time?
lol I read that as "Trump isn’t shaving him this time?" and wondered when that happened before 😂️
Just 2 alphas doing alpha things
I read that too, then read your response, and saw the upvotes you got. Guess we're not the only two who, for a moment, pictured Trump shaving him.
Must have forgotten his most recent bribe payment.
Reminds me of this guy:
The fuck is up with his ears? Reminds me of stereoscopic rangefinders.
He's probably been kicked in the head one too many times. Actually that explains everything about him.
Do not insult rangefinders in such a fashion. Although - LOL! - yeah.. you're right.
Sad Gollum.
He is one ugly motherfucker. Inside matches outside.
He rolled under the couch in search of his Precious.
The biomass version of truck nuts.
A lollipop whose father is also his uncle.
When your family tree is a wreath
He looks like the end result of a dog hacking up a white chocolate raisin on the carpet.
This image proves both evolution from ape to man, and devolution from man to ape. Not seeing any "alpha" in it though. Must have been a tree dweller.
I'm seeing an alpha, but like in software development: early version, underdeveloped, expectedly buggy and not ready for public use.
#Todo: implement facial grooming. Deprecate to the other typeDude is charged with trafficking for taking the Hobbits to Isengard against their will.
When did he last fight? I know this isn't a flattering photo of him, but I can't believe someone that looks like this now used to fight for money.
He used to kick box in a highly suspect organisation - and most recently had his ass handed to him by a younger fitter stronger… reality tv star who doesn’t even know how to box, let alone fight, in a “celebrity” boxing event.

TIL, thanks for clarifying!
So when is Harry and the Hendersons 2 coming out?
Hey, that was a good show. Harry would have smacked the Tates into the next century.
Dude's transforming into Cyrax. And I don't mean from Mortal Kombat.
*Proceeds to shade a dude who struggles with hair loss*
Shading a rapist hits different
I am struggling with hair loss but I Iaughed
Same, my forehead has gotten so tall
Trying does not imply succeeding
I have 20 or so scraggly hairs on the top of my head. Might as well shave it all off, but I'm too fucking lazy and don't care.
Laughed my ass off at budget Eastern European* Gollum.
What a bunch of clowns.
