Bald head. Choice or not?

[Mr Gimp]

I've just shorn mine off to a grade 3 as it was doing me in. Surprisingly I look less like shaven retard than I did in my youth!

 

[^TANK^]

I love how people keep citing a "Walter White" look forgetting that is synonamous with "Cancer Victim"

I always tell people I've just finished a hard course of chemotherapy or that I like the Treblinka look for less maintenance.

In answer to the Bible bashers question I regularly do a 0.5 all over via choice because I'm pretty much going grey and my side burns are turning white at the age of 31.

Head of hair here, though I am losing my hair slowly, no surprise really as my grandad was bald at 21. I quite like it cut short as I have quite a physical job & I sweat a lot at times (all the time in the summer) & it makes my hair wet, which I hate because it is usually the cause of my colds. Shaving it off would cause more problems though as I would get untold stick at work & I think I would look completely stupid being bald & wearing glasses.

You don't really believe that wet hair causes colds do you?

My forehead is getting larger and larger, used to have luscious locks but now cut it down to less than a #1

Contemplating taking a bic to it though

I always wanted to ask this question but didn't for fear of being judged. Good on you baldy OP.

I am not bald (yet lol) but have in the summer shaved my head down to a 1/.5 though.

 

[GhostlyPea]

Not quite weekly, but I regularly cut my hair to grade 1 all over. It looks better than the "receding hairline" look.

Snap, maybe every 2 - 3 weeks. Should do it more often though

Is it me or people with a lot of body hair seem to go bald fast?

 

[eatcustard]

I shave my head, so I have about .5mm left on it.
Just to hide the grey

 

[Rilot]

I shave my head once per week. Safety razor and cream + brush.
I started to go bald in my late 20s so I just started shaving it all off. Been completely bald now for 10 years.

I clip mine to 3mm. It is pure laziness on my part because I don't want to have to worry about my hair being a mess.

I've been told quite a few times that I've got a 'nice' shape head, so that helps I guess.

<Edit> I'm not balding at all, a full thick head of hair.

 

[pitchfork]

I'm not balding, I choose to have my hair cut with a receding hairline, honest!

 

[The IPB]

Shave mine with clippers and no guard.

Hair isn't receding or balding, I just like to shave my head.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

In my 40's with a full head of hair but the minute I start to develop any sort of a bald patch it's clipper time.

 

[randal]

Forehead on a hostile takeover here, but got a while to go yet.

When the time comes, I will just one it and be done with. Hamlet Cigar advert need not apply.

 

[Schizo]

Been losing my hair for 25 years now,grade one for the last 25 years

Shave my hair once a week.

How to handle that awkward moment when you shave your head and go into work the first time?

 

[Adam_101]

Then again, my older brother who by no means is going bald, has been shaving his head bald (every couple weeks) for the past few years, says he prefers it like that.

 

[Shotgun_ned]

I grade 1 mine every week.

This. I am getting quite thin on top so would rather go this route than a comb over.

My daughter recently found a picture of me from 2001 and couldn't stop laughing that I actually used to have hair

I'd love to go commando but as mentioned my moles will stick out a little too much. I might see if I can get them removed.

I had one which i got removed
