Outside:
Cheers for the advice. I know I have some tweeks to do, and some things to learn, but I'm happy with the stage I'm at. Here's some outside. Most of the hair at the back and sides is mine (including the bit sticking up!). It's pretty seemless in that respect. Something is a little off, but I'm 100% sure what yet. Looking at these, I can't tell where it blends even though I know, so you guys definately can't!!
Part of the reason i waited to post was to get used to it. As I said, I don't think you'd know if you'd never seen me before, but I've still got some tweeking and learning ahead.

For some reason my first pics have an odd orangy color to them after I resized them. Don't think that helps much, but yes, the one of the back looks a bit crap. It looks better to the eye. Hopefully this does it more justice. Still better than Nic Cages

I'm not too worried about the transition. My aim is to be the pin up boy for a great product as far as interaction with people I know.
People have been surprisingly good. Obviously they've noticed, although I've skyped to two childhood friends. One noticed only when I pointed it out, and the other not at all.
I posted fb pics because I just got specs last week, and nobody has said anything other than about the specs!!!
I'll try and dig out an old pic with hair. It's really not that much different, but as i said, there is something a bit off... and yes, I just shaved off the bum fluff, made atemplate, cut it down and stuck the sucker down. Thing a change of glue will help the hairline. I'm only 90% happy with it at the moment.
Hopefully this will encourage others to take the plunge, and be aware of some the nuances involved.
