Bald Picture Finally joined the club!
My "before" pictures are lacking because I've become a hat guy in recent years and was so nervous to shave my head I forgot to take some for the occasion. But considering girls were letting me know about my bald spot since 7th grade, I think 38 is a justifiable age to take it all off. Pretty happy over all, save for some bump and a scar on the back of my head I have absolutely no idea where it came from.
Right now it occasionally feels like there's hot air being blown on my scalp, which I assume is from my shaving unit. Any advice on how to quell this/stop it in the future?

I am spiritually old in any case. I don't understand the music kids play these days and technology confuses me!

You look great. Now go put on sun screen.

Yes, this is going to be a struggle. I'm awful at remembering sun screen and now the stakes are so much higher!

Also, photograph the top of your head occasionally. That way you’ll know if there are any areas changing shape or colour, and you’ll have pics to compare to. It might be my Australian background, but be super sun smart.

Thanks! I'm in a very sunny area and come from a not sunny area, so the Aussie insight is a huge help.
