Shaving head completely bald...

[Gimpymoo]

The time has come, started going grey before twenty, big fat receding line in my twenties, now in my forties well, looks like a dead grey haired alsatian.

In my mind, I am picturing Bruce Willis but in reality, I know will be one of those hairless cats.

Will probably look like an egg if lucky. Have had a buzz cut plenty of times but never took a razer to my head before.

Anyone done it and liked it, regretted it or indifferent?

Try it. What's the worse that can happen? You have to wait a few weeks for it to grow back.

I made the jump a while ago - although I have a head shape a little like kurt angle lol.

depending on how lazy I am I switch between using a braun series 9 every few days to keep skin or grow it out a month then cut it all back with a 0 then the braun.

I do it quite often, takes some getting used to, and if you want to keep it bald quite a bit of upkeep,but I'm used to it now.

Agreed - a lot more work than just keeping your hair "short"

Not done it but will watch this thread with interest. I'm as good as completely bald. So why not shave the lot I ask myself. The small amount of hair I have is just a nuisance as it gets longer.

I shaved my head and thought it looked awesome. Loved the low maintenance and the attention from baldophile women.

However the people closest to me weren't so keen and I noticed a few different reactions socially and at work, so I killed my dihydrotestosterone levels and got a hair transplant. Far more measured approach.

That is interesting that it changed how people interacted with you socially.

Just make sure to wear a hat if you visit Mozambique

Mozambique police warn bald men after ritual attack

Some people in Mozambique believe that the heads of bald men contain gold.

I have the Kurt Angle entrance theme stuck in my head now

I think I would do it but the 666 might show up too much.

I usually just do a trimmer over my head, I have toyed with going full cue ball but I always bottle out.

Is the Series 9 good for facial shaving too?

I gave up shaving ages ago after rip off blade prices and just the hassle of a wet shave and rubbish/cheap electric shavers.

Had alopecia a few years ago.. so lost "all" my hair, and I do mean all.. but most has come back, however when I grow my hair now there are 5 or 6 completely bald spots.. (very noticable!) so I just keep it all bald to stop myself looking like I had a fight with a straight razer.. and it only got me in a few areas..

I just use one of those head shaver things in the shower every other day .. seems to do the trick..

I dunno as I tend to keep a beard

Do you wear a mini cowboy hat to cover it up?

I have done a pre-check and cannot feel any divots or bumps but who knows - lol Will find out when it is all gone.

Gave in with mine I think during the first lockdown at 32ish, run a foil head shaver over it a couple of times a week. Luckily it suits me and I've got a beard so I don't look like a totally hairless child

Baldophiles exist?

I shaved bald for a bit, using wet razor, and a Skull Shaver Pitbull to keep in in check.
I'm back to grey / thinning as I thought the look a bit 'aggressive' for my client facing role,
my better half didn't like it either.
