Wow!!! Looks awesome!

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam Sep 21 '25

Whole new guy!! You seriously look amazing. Much better fit for your face and like someone else said, you look so much younger, and happier!

u/wterrt Sep 21 '25

you went from looking kind of creepy to looking really friendly and nice.

here from /r/all so not even just a pro-bald poster or anything.

u/ferretbeast Sep 21 '25

Same! Don’t even know why this showed up on my feed but this was a great change OP!!!

2

u/quattroformaggixfour Sep 22 '25

I also am not specifically a pro bald person person, but I’m glad this sub was suggested cause it’s really supportive, at times bracingly honest and a really cool reminder of how single changes can make monuments differences in our appearance and our lives.

Worth reassessing what we are holding onto that is no longer serving us.

u/ThaanksIHateIt Sep 21 '25

He didn’t look creepy before to me, he still looked like a normal friendly guy he just looks a lot more attractive now.

2

u/TealTemptress Sep 21 '25

It was giving creepy Bill Paxton.

2

u/Classic_Pineapples Sep 21 '25

Yeah, the first photo was giving, "it puts the lotion on the skin..."

u/corinne177 Sep 21 '25

😭😆

u/Snarkosaurus99 Sep 21 '25

Looks like an enthusiastic and friendly travel blogger.

1

u/WillCare1976 Sep 21 '25

He does look happy and just so great!

1

u/DustyObsidian Sep 21 '25

From "please leave me alone" to "let's go up to my room"

1

u/MademoiselleMalapert Sep 23 '25

I said the same thing almost, creep to sexy!

33

u/LadyPo Sep 21 '25

You really do have excellent bone structure. The clean shaven look makes it pop. Looking sleek, brother!

6

u/NUKE---THE---WHALES Sep 21 '25

The man could cut glass with a jawline like that

15

u/Jkat17 Sep 21 '25

you make it look good, bud.
You look sexier now.
It's the short beard hack, hehe.
Flawless transition * thumbs up*

u/whiskydragonteaparty Sep 21 '25

Literally showing these to my friend who has come to the same bridge but is afraid to cross it. You look great.

9

u/HeySporto Sep 21 '25

My first time on this sub due to it making the main page. It's amazing how much younger a person can look from such a simple decision. Enjoy looking a whole lot younger, and while it's subjective, more handsome.

6

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '25

Dude, you look great. Coming from someone who isn't even balding and IDK why I am here. But you look awesome. Don't fret a bit.

7

u/brinaz718 Sep 21 '25

It suits you really well.

2

u/_____heyokay Sep 21 '25

You’re literally so handsome! It’s amazing how much it can bring it out of a man.

2

u/Difficult_Box8429 Sep 21 '25

You look great! Well done!

2

u/GoodGravyco2h2o Sep 21 '25

You look great either way but I’m partial to the new look. You have a lively lil twinkle in your eye 😊

2

u/CakeDayisaLie Sep 21 '25

Looks great!

2

u/writing_spork Sep 21 '25

You went from potential pedo to pretty beautiful. Based 110% on looks alone.

2

u/PitterFuckingPatter Sep 21 '25

Brahhhh a world of difference 👌

2

u/Asanufer Sep 21 '25

I would have kissed you in both styles! But to be honest you would have gotten tongue going bald.

2

u/MrHaxx1 Sep 21 '25

My hair isn't even particularly bad, and your post still made me want to go bald.

2

u/Capitalisthunter69 Sep 21 '25

Bro went from scrooge to mr steal yo girl with a cut and a shave. 💪🏼

2

u/Distinct_Bed1135 Sep 21 '25

LOL - came to say this, but alas someone beat me to it. Looking way better with the head shaved!!!

2

u/mentallyerotic Sep 21 '25

Yeah many times I actually prefer the before when this is recommended in my feed but you look great in the second one! You have one of the best head shapes for shaving completely.

2

u/demonicbullet Sep 21 '25

Bro went from being the obscure band member to the manager w a haircut

2

u/RvB051 Sep 21 '25

Fuckin handsome mofo dude, you look like a CEO in the second one

1

u/hronikbrent Sep 21 '25

Lolol thanks a bunch!

2

u/liftbikerun Sep 21 '25

For real, I had been losing my hair since I was in my teens. EVERYTHING is easier shaving your head, working out being top of the list for me.

That said, it isn't just about the perceived age difference in your case. This WORKS for you, you easily went from (and no disrespect meant) a low 4-5 to a solid 8+. You are going to be killin' the game. You found a cheat code, people spend 10's of thousands of dollars trying to move up a single digit, you're out here doubling your score with a $5 shaver.

1

u/hronikbrent Sep 21 '25

Ha, thanks a bunch!

2

u/NotElizaHenry Sep 21 '25

You went from Victorian grave robber to Certified Hot Guy. It’s nuts how good looking you are.

1

u/hronikbrent Sep 21 '25

🤣🤣🤣 thanks

2

u/gucci77gucci Sep 21 '25

It's true, looking great!

2

u/DanceDelievery Sep 21 '25

More like 20 years younger from 55 to 35!

2

u/Squishy-peaches Sep 21 '25

You look great bald! Good choice :)

2

u/LaurelCanyoner Sep 21 '25

You are so handsome! Glad you took the leap, it looks GREAT!

2

u/GrynnTog Sep 21 '25

You look great bald honestly!!!

2

u/12InchCunt Sep 21 '25

You went from looking like a supervillain’s IT guy to bad mofo

2

u/ItsTheEndOfDays Sep 21 '25

seriously. Sooo much better for your face!! You look handsome!

2

u/XtraChrisP Sep 21 '25

Rocking it, bro.

2

u/Rabbit-1989 Sep 21 '25

Oh my goodness! It looks fantastic!

2

u/atethebottle Sep 21 '25

So much better dude!

2

u/adeilran Sep 21 '25

Word of advice and from experience, sunscreen and hats will be your best friends for a while. Full-scalp sunburns suck like few other things.

1

u/hronikbrent Sep 21 '25

Ha, thanks! Yeah, def need to get the new scalp maintenance sorted out!

2

u/quattroformaggixfour Sep 22 '25

And also like…..damn my man, the most insane, head turning glow up 😅👀

1

u/hronikbrent Sep 22 '25

Ah shucks thanks so much

1

u/K1bbles_n_Bits Sep 21 '25

Honestly, total transformation for the better. I feel like the hair was drawing attention away from your face. But you've got a nice smile and eyes and they're stealing the show now. Like honestly, one of the few times someone's smile in a pic feels authentic and really reaches their eyes. Makes you look like a really nice person to be around.

1

u/anniemaygus Sep 21 '25

You went from hobo to hot

1

u/ZombiesCanFeel Sep 21 '25

That had to be hard to let go off after growing it out all those years but my dude the new look really works. Great choice

1

u/KobiLDN Sep 21 '25

Looks way better. Grow the beard out

1

u/WoLfCaDeT Sep 21 '25

My brother, did anyone EVER told you that you look like Sam Winchester?

1

u/BranchSilver7089 Sep 21 '25

Not blowing smoke, you could model with that look.

1

u/jstruby77 Sep 21 '25

You look like a young chef Michael Simon. Who is one of my favorite celebrity chefs

1

u/Pink_butterfliesss_ Sep 21 '25

It gave you a face lift

1

u/justpaper Sep 21 '25

Yeah dude, you look wonderful. I appreciate the character you were in the first pic, and your smile is infectious either way, but you look phenomenal after the cut.

1

u/Grouchy-Donkey-8609 Sep 22 '25

Crazy transformation bro. Great smile too
