Who shaves their head?

Surprised that there's so many real men here and not people who just decided to hop on Fin after discovering they were a baldie
No point in having a full head of hair if it means living with some of the side effects that stuff can cause!
I haven't completely given in yet so just zip over it with a beard trimmer every now and again. My time for a bladed shave will be here soon though
is that almost blade like!? i.e no hair
I do. Once every couple of weeks I shave using proper Mach3 razors, and then in between maintenance with this.

Dont shave my head yet,I give it a no.2 every couple of weeks But my hair is slowly on its way out,Eventually when the receding gets worse and its more visible then im going to have off with it.
OP,I suggest getting Gillette Fusion,They're pretty expensive for refills but i swear by them,I've not had a closer cut shaving the face by anything else.

this. I'm balding and decided i wanted to keep it at a no.1. I'm TRYING to do it once a week but i do get lazy quite often. went through a fair few clippers - wahl are the best by far.
Nothing electric is almost blade like, it does cut shorter than normal clippers though. The closest i've gotten from electric is the philips oneblade but i found it irritated my skin too much.
Tbh the best shave i get on my head is with the DE razor, closer and less irritation than with anything else so long as you let the weight of it do all the work and never press. Takes longer to do though as needs a couple of passes.
Not yet but I'm gonna start very soon as my hair is looking very thin on top now, Im only the tender age of 25!
I will be having scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) though, so I dont actually look bald.
Any other curious balding/baldies out there, this is it:

It's basically a tattoo on your head that looks like shaved hair, blended to your natural colour. Just gotta keep the sides and back shaved to maintain the illusion and nobody would be none the wiser.

After decades of Wahl products letting me down I tried a Philips and it's been superb over the last four years - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1713554.htm
Seriously just shave it and be done. Don't get your head tatoo'd as it will be noticable.
Edit: What happens whe you start going grey and the tattoo is still dark?

I shave my head just for the hell of it (I'm in my 40s and still have a full head of fast-growing hair; balding is not something I'll ever need to worry about!) and I'm just starting to get flecks of silver in a few places. It is very noticeable, even when I shave. Tattooing a bald head seems like madness to me.

I'm 58 and still have a full head of hair but I have psoriasis so keep it down to a number 1 so I can keep the scabs off.
