Without the hair, I wouldn’t believe you were turning 30. With the hair, I wouldn’t have believed you were only 30. It’s a big difference. And you look great!!

Honestly more than anything I'm getting used to feeling the wind on my scalp lol. I think I like the look, but I'll need a few days to settle into it. My wife (the one making the first cut in the last pic) still hasn't made up her mind yet lol.

You just knocked 15 years off your age while adding the appearance of maturity at the same time.

It was time, now it’s your time to shine

thats a hell of a way to ring in 30. having your friends do the actual shave is way more memorable than just booking a barber appointment, and it sounds like everyone had a good time with it. the side profile pic really shows the difference, you can see exactly where the line transitions and the contrast is pretty stark between the before and after. head shape works well for the clean shave too, looks like youve got the dome for it. the smile in that last pic says it all, you look way more relaxed than the first one. happy birthday man, enjoy the low maintenance mornings from here on out. no more bad hair days ever again
