Has anyone on here done that? What was the reaction? And how long did it take to blow over?

There in lies the rub.....the ease and facility of taking a 1/4 inch clip guard and doing a 10 minute buzz to my head once every 2 weeks was something I got accustomed to for over 16 years. I never did the full shave because I'm not THAT GUY......I could pull it off, but it's a pre-conceived perception in most peoples mind about it. No denying my baldness, but at least the boot camp buzz has been in style for the last 16 years, so it wasn't all that off.
Yes, his buddies will break his balls without mercy - I come from a military/police/athlete extended family, But, they'll break balls about everything anyway, it's part of that circle!!
My first time around family went extremely well.......now granted, my brothers weren't both there together & I full on expect the snaps to fly when we all hook up, but thats no different from whenever we're together.
Search for pics of "jake" and "buzz declan" for military high & tight styles - natural transition + easy maintenance + best "no way is that a damn hairpiece" camouflage!! It's how I wear my hair, just not shaved to skin on sides, about 3/8 inch on sides & back
