    When did he last fight? I know this isn’t a flattering photo of him, but I can’t believe someone that looks like this now used to fight for money.

      He used to kick box in a highly suspect organisation - and most recently had his ass handed to him by a younger fitter stronger… reality tv star who doesn’t even know how to box, let alone fight, in a “celebrity” boxing event.

      TLDR Can fight a bit but was never ever in any way, shape or form an elite martial artist.

    everyone else in jails and prisons get access to razors, unless you are on a watch. So he is either doing this to be like ‘look how they treated me, poor me alpha tears’ or like I said before they have him on a watch.

      He’s probably been kicked in the head one too many times. Actually that explains everything about him.

    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.

      I’m planning on getting an incredibly unrealistic wig and refusing to admit that I’ve gone bold.

      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.

      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.

          Ah fair, my friend used it to grow facial hair before he started T, and it seemed to work well for him, but ig results may vary :)

            Yeah, it’s definitely YMMV. Also I read that minoxidil is only good for hair loss in the back, not for receding hairline. I was using it for almost a decade before I switched to a buzz cut, then shaved it all off. Unfortunately my hair loss was primarily in the front, so I’m not sure minoxidil ever did much.

            (Fellow trans person btw, though I haven’t tried to use it before testosterone started kicking my hairline the way my genetics were pointing 😅️)

      I’ve made it to my mid 40s with full coverage. Not sure if I would shave it completely or go with a #1 or #2 all over when my time comes.

      I guess it depends on where/how it happens?

        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.

        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).

    This image proves both evolution from ape to man, and devolution from man to ape. Not seeing any “alpha” in it though. Must have been a tree dweller.

      I’m seeing an alpha, but like in software development: early version, underdeveloped, expectedly buggy and not ready for public use.
