Today i shaved my head with a razor and i really wanted to see what would happen. I went for a coffee by myself and i noticed the following: 1) Most men would look down 2) some girls would eyeball me. 3) Some random girls called me a neo-nazi term , prevalent in my country.
I felt very conscious and uncomfortable while out and about and i wanted to collect information about people perceptions. Mainly from the case where i was called a nazi. Was that like a shit test or genuine dislike towards my style. The 2 girls had behind them 2 orbiters, who they told them to shut up. I tend to lean towards that because the girls were with the orbiters they tried to create some drama (not sure).
Overall, i think i am gonna keep the style. Any experiences from other guys?

Baldy here. Only badass Chads go all the way. Think of The Rock, Steve Wilkos, Telly Savalas, Vin Diesel, and Jason Statham.
Before, I only had hair on the back half of my head, and bald spot in the back. When I started getting back in shape, looking at videos and photos of myself, it really stood out. I read here that women prefer bald to balding. They were right. It looks much better without than half-ass with. So, I took the plunge.
My experience when I shaved my head completely: The first thing I did was went to the grocery store to rid myself of any anxiety. Lots of people around. I walked around the isles, picked up a few things. Nobody gave me a second look. People really don't care as much as we think they do.
A nephew asked me what it was like to be a bald-headed Nazi. He was just giving me shit because that's how the guys in my family roll. I gave him shit back because he has a buzz cut. It was fucking funny as hell.
The women at work couldn't stop rubbing my head. Women who normally wouldn't talk to me wanted to feel my head. Smooth as a baby's butt. I got lots of compliments.
It's weird at first because I was looking at myself in the mirror and my brain wasn't used to identifying myself as me without hair. But eventually I got used to it. I even joined a couple of Reddit forums for smooth shavers, and found lots of great info on YouTube about the different products, razors, and shaving techniques to really give myself the best bald experience.
Before, I was afraid to lose my hair. Now that I've embraced the baldness, I'm afraid that it will grow back!

Thanks for the input, more or less the same happened to me these last couple of days. Especially the " I was looking at myself in the mirror and my brain wasn't used to.."

I know a number of guys who had to shave their head because their hair just looked worse without restoring to it
They slay just fine. Some women won't like it but it works for a lot of dudes. Just don't make a deal out of it and a lot of women won't either

When I was a poor, broke university student, my roommate and I would shave each other's head to save money on haircuts. We didn't go for the Mr. Clean look, but rather buzzed it down really short.
We never had any issues from it.

Agree and amplify. If at the gym, offer to show them to the showers. At a restaurant, the ovens.

That's funny. I remember when i shaved. Nothing happened. To this day, 5 years later, i received some jokes from my friends, one or two compliments from girls but mostly indifference.
Maybe you are just too young for it. Try the buzz/military instead. I don't see people caring about this shit unless they're like in high school/early college... And bitter feminists but who cares.
