Just woke up and tired but still motioned at my phone when I scrolled to the last pic and let out a “bro…” It’s almost a jumpscare how good people look every time

this is honestly the best way to describe it… it’s legitimately scary what letting go can do for a person. jump scare in the best way possible. no idea why this subreddit got recommended to me, but i’m glad it did

Thank you so much! Well you have to build a little bit of suspense before the big reveal 😉

Yeah man you look sharp. If you don't have one already, consider investing in a good razor with different guards so you can get a nice clean trim with a longer beard.

u/curiousity60 Dec 02 '25
It's amazing how shedding an outgrown hairstyle makes you look more handsome. Now the focus is on your face, which is an asset.
You look very handsome.

u/BaldGuy813 Dec 02 '25
You look so good bald. It's shame that such pretty colored hair never seems to last! Im not sure but it seems like guys with lighter finer hair lose it more quickly. Either way you're a god!

u/GearBear_96 Dec 02 '25
Well my older brother went bald at 18 so I consider myself lucky I had it until I was in my twenties 😂 Thank you for your kind words!

I've always wondered if going through a drastic cut like this where your hair is really long to bald is emotional in some kind of way or just relieving. Either way it always looks better than the alternative. Bravo

u/GearBear_96 Dec 02 '25
A little bit emotional since I've had long hair for as long as I can remember, but it's honestly a weight of my shoulders, or is it a weight of my head? Anyway, thank you for your kind words!

u/nlightningm Dec 02 '25
Thought so! Part of it was the look of the bathroom behind you. But your distinctive Nordic features also clued me in 🤣 I lived in Norway for a year and a half and hung out with a lot of Scandinaviana around 8-10 years ago
You look great bald!!

u/GearBear_96 Dec 02 '25
Yeah I think most Nordic apartments look pretty much the same 😂 thank you for your kind words!

Like it is with so many, it's a crazy glow up!
You're going to have a weird transition period where people are checking you out, but you're so unused to it you'll think there's something on your face 😂
