What a bunch of clowns.

So when is Harry and the Hendersons 2 coming out?

Man I'm glad I started shaving my head when I did. For anyone out there also dealing with going bald, fully committing usually looks better than pretending it's not happening.

[–] myster0n@feddit.nl 5 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

I've tried it before, but I've been told that when I shave my head I look as if I'm on cancer treatment. So I guess I still look better with the hair that I've got.

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 27 minutes ago

Also your head might not have tanned yet, that helps.

[–] chickenf622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

Depending on what they meant by that it could be they needed a period to adjust to the new look. I know it took a while before people forgot what I even looked like with hair.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

> How come you look so good?
< After a while people forgot how I used to look

(No shade though, i'm genuinely happy you're happy with how you look.)

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

Can you grow a beard? I had a couple of years after shaving where I looked like a thumb, but a beard changed everything.

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago

My dad and uncle look like twins, but my dad always shaved his head and my uncle tried the 3-hair combover to cover it up. So I grew up seeing how much better my dad always looked, and the second I noticed my receding hairline, I committed. Looking back at old pics, it was still probably a year or two later than I should have. The blinders are real.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 hours ago

Yep. As soon as it starts going I'm gonna go turtle-wax bald

[–] kazerniel@piefed.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Fellas please shave your balls. This picture is a warning.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Shaved or not, my balls look WAY better than this shit stain.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 30 minutes ago

I vote we have one more set of your balls and one less set of Tates.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Soooo itchy, like, wouldn't wish upon my enemies itchy. Can't be scratching my junk in public that often.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

If you get a small trimmer and trim carefully (!) you can skip the phase where your hairs grow through your skin, which likely causes the itch. If the itch is there immediately after shaving and only lasts for the first hours after you shaved, the itch is more likely caused by the chemicals you put on your skin, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin and avoid everything with alcohol (such as after-shave).

Clear aloe gel from the drugstore. Not the aftersun with "cooling" medicine for sunburn, you've been warned.

Just the plain clear stuff. Prevents ingrown hairs and makes it all sterile and not inflamed. Good slippage when dry too. You'll be sticky for about 5 minutes while it sets.

Taint looking like he's about to play Gollum in the Armenian live-production of The Hobbit.

What has Gollum ever done to deserve this?

Slithered all over middle earth starving and eating dead things to bite off Frodo Baggin's finger? Is this a trick question?

Trump isn't saving him this time?

[–] kazerniel@piefed.world 34 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

lol I read that as "Trump isn’t shaving him this time?" and wondered when that happened before 😂️

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

I read that too, then read your response, and saw the upvotes you got. Guess we're not the only two who, for a moment, pictured Trump shaving him.

He looks like the end result of a dog hacking up a white chocolate raisin on the carpet.
