I'll go…
6 months ago. I had a bald spot that was growing more and more apparent, so I decided to take the plunge.
I currently use an Andis T-liner. It usually keeps me bald for about a week. I can't use blades due to razor bumps.
When I was in grade school I tried to shave my head in protest of getting my hair cut by my mom (I wanted a fro REALLY bad). I used an old, rusty razor blade I found in the cabinet. I went for multiple strokes and I wasn't getting a close shave. Needless to say, it ate up my head.
I followed up the razor with shaving powder. Big mistake.
A few days later I started getting insane razor bumps. My scalp started to blister and peel. It looked like someone smeared oatmeal on my head.
Nobody at school said anything… except for the other Black guy in my class. I won't ever forget trying to not let him see the back of my head. Once he saw he just started CLOWNING, HARD. Like NON STOP! Dude roasted me for a straight 10 mins afterward. I had to laugh cuz he went in.
My favorite baldy has gotta be Khalid Muhammad. So round, so shiny, so righteous. I hope to have a perma-sheen like his one day.
