I figured that I might as well face this sucker "head on" and see if I have the skull to fully commit to being a bald man. I figured that new year's would be a good time to do it since it's the traditional time to do such things and it would give me ample time to grow what little hair I have left before I opened the wine bar or became a father.
Laura did the honors and settled on a 3/8" setting on the trimmer (trimer for my beard and the dog). Josh was there to help with the mirror, the camera and to give good color commentary as Laura trimmed away "oh yeah man, with the front of your head intact you can still pull off the art school student 'do if you stopped now."
And the results? I personally dig it, my wife thinks I look hot (whew) and I don't have any wierd scars or bumps under all that. Aside from doing it in the dead of winter and having to wear a warm hat everywhere, it's been great.

Lookin sharp Mr. Robbins. I think winter is a great time for it, you're always supposed to wear a hat, but dread the moment you walk inside to reveal the hat hair. Now you can wear a had with abandon, yay, hat freedom!
It looks great! It also looks like you didn't have much to worry about, in terms of thinning, but I applaud you decision to bald (if you do!) with dignity instead of horrible comb-overs and Hair Disguises.
umm. I'm a lesbian and still I must say...that's hot.
You look like Phil Collins' Voice: Sexy! But with Hair, too!
Thanks Rose, now I can say with confidence "one out of one lesbians endorse my new haircut". Andrew, it's going to take some time for me to unpack that compliement. John, I thank you for your support, and Kate I'm glad you support me in my choice to face my thinning "head on". Sorry, I'm watching John Edwards on CNN right now, it's coloring my tone.
You're an inspiration to all of us.
Hot! Both of you.
