Maik and Tim - Part 3: To Perfection by GermanCut Thanks for your comments, my friends! This was my first try to write stories of this genre and I enjoyed it. So I was glad, that you enjoyed them, too. The only theme for "Maik and Tim" taken from reality was, that I once saw a boy in a barbershop getting an extremely short haircut and then his father came in with the same hairstyle, which he obviously got before. And of course the feeling while getting (or seeing how somebody gets) a short haircut or a head shave are also taken from reality - from mine (and many others'): I began to shave my head 15 years ago, a bit because of a light MPB, but more by fun. I like the style on me and a head shave is always a fresh start into the day. by GermanCut on 09 Mar 2026
Maik and Tim - Part 3: To Perfection by GermanCut Awesome story! A head shave is so wonderful. Between the bold, bald statement it makes, the smooth skin feel and the almost massage like feeling when getting it shaved. I once had a barber say to me that as guys, we really don’t pamper ourselves but a head shave is just about that. Straight or gay, it’s hard not to feel some movement below when you get head shaved. I could never get my sons to try the head shave earlier on. It would have been a great bald bonding experience.
Please write more. These stories were great! by Pauldy on 08 Mar 2026
Maik and Tim - Part 2: Radical Change by GermanCut Love how these guys had the courage to go so short. Especially when they asked for shorter than the barber suggested. Back in my hair days, I used to always ask for my hair to be cut a length or two shorter than I wanted (subconsciously I probably just wanted it shorter). I always said the big step was when I finally found the courage to have clippers go over the top of my head. I always knew that once I started going shorter and having clippers used on top of my head, my hair would eventually all be shaved off, MPB or not! by Pauldy on 07 Mar 2026
Pompous Peter, Preening Peter! by Manny This story is crème de la crème of stories!!! Peter took the right move. Only thing hotter than a bald fade is a completely smooth shaved bald head. Peter had the balls to get the bald fade. Hopefully the next time when the barber says shorter, he says yes. It’s time to turn the tables on stuffy Lawrence and tease him greatly for his bozo style haircut.
A couple years ago, I convinced my very reluctant husband to try a bald fade. He was hesitant at first. Now he looks forward to them, although they are never usually short enough in my book. The last time I was with him and had the barber go brutally short (high fade). He loved the look and says that was his best haircut ever. He’s shaggy again (he wants a haircut now) and hopefully this time I’m with him to get it brutally short again. Barbers see my smooth bald head and understand when I say short, I’m not messing around. The more skin that shows, the better! by Pauldy on 07 Mar 2026
