Poll: Is it time to shave it all off?

[Rroff]

I was only 31

That is about where I've got to at 37 - not quite as far back at the temples - not shaving it all off yet but been considering it for the future for the last few years.

Here's me.. April 2016 the photo on the right was taken and a week later I shaved it off. The thinning at the front was pretty obvious. I was only 31.

Looks fantastic!

Yeah go for it, I wouldn't go full cue ball but at least a no.2

I started off with a no2 and tbh it highlighted the thin area just as much. I found I had to go 1/2 (skin head) to get a good look.

Only 40? I lost my hair at 24. Shaving it off was the best thing I did.

I now have a shaved head after agonising over it for years. It does look far better, although ends up looking tatty faster.

I suggest going 1 on the top and 0.5 at the sides to keep a slight gradient - otherwise you risk the ‘microphone look’ when it grows back. You can just keep cutting it though

Maybe go for 1.5 and 1 at the sides at first before you go really short if you are worried.

Have you tried rubbing some mustard in it first?

Entirely up to you, if you want shave it off, if your happy with what you have (is left) then stay as you are.

**** what anybody else thinks, it’s down to you and what your happy with.

I just do a #1 all over I tried shaving and while it looks fine it needs maintaining too much where as a #1 will look good for a month.
People also said I look better with stubble as well so that gets a #0 one a week.

I'm 40 and have a full head of hair, I'm I the freak?...

I had to make a similar decision a couple of years ago (I'm 43 now).
I started getting the occasional grey hair at 18 and I've been completely grey since I was about 30.
Lives with that and I was happy enough - the grey hair didn't seem to make me look any older.
However, the hairline started receding and the little bald spot. I'm Grade 2 all over which seems to work for me.

Nope, 40 in June and still have a full head of thick hair. I give it a number 2 every 2 weeks but if I went bald it would be great, easier to keep short as it grows back like a madman!

Shave it all off and become a Mark Strong impersonator (bit of a resemblance there)

Think pulling off the shaved head look is a bit harder for light haired men, plus if you can grow a beard or not.

The norwood reaper was knocking at your door quite a few years ago I think.

@LiE suits it with the contrast of the jet black beard hair (hopefully not just for men'd).
