My husband just shaved his head.
He did this once before, several years ago, and I was not amused. He has been under the impression that he is bald for nine years now. I don't think he's bald. Granted, I see the receding hairline. It is moving further back on his head, but he's still got gorgeous, black hair through which I love to run my fingers. Alas, I think those days are over.
Have you ever felt a shaved head? Blech! It is prickly and weird feeling. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Maybe I'll even start rubbing baby oil on his head to make it shine.
I guess I shouldn't give him a hard time about it. I mean, he has to deal with my body giving in to gravity and wrinkles. Too bad I can't just shave off my bad parts, huh?
Oh dear I know just how you feel. My husband has nice hair too and keeps it very very VERY short. I don't like the prickly way it feels either and plus he has a bunch of scars on the back of his head from his younger days. He was a little daredevil as a kid. He says he keeps it short so the criminals don't have anything to latch onto if they get in a tussle. I'm not sure I buy it. We'll see when he retires in a year.

Ugh, does he WANT to be ugly? He's so handsome when he lets his hair grow out enough to curl and wave! He's SO not bald! Ugh! He should let us take charge of his hair. I've thought that since he started this "I'm going bald" business.

He is so NOT bald. But it looks good. You definitely have to have the right shaped head to shave your head. Looks like Jade's got it.
But I can sympathize with you. Mark insists on having a bit of a goatee/soul patch? I like him clean shaven...but he's definitely not ever going to shave it.
