Life Who here shaves their heads? - Page 8

**Fire Me Boy!** · 10-16-2014, 11:59 AM

I saw the back of my head in a convenience store's security camera and it's getting thinner than I'm comfortable with. So I embraced it and shaved it.

Looking for tips, tricks, etc. for getting a really smooth shave and keeping burn and bumps to a minimum.

Thanks in advance.

I'm nearly to the point of shaving it. Not yet.

My cousin has entered that zone of "holy shit you have hair but you would look better without hair." He and I are the same age. They say baldness is hereditary on the mother's side, so, since he and I share similar genetics on the mother's side...shouldn't I be going bald? My grandpa was also practically bald by my age.

Are you in your early to mid 30's yet? If not you're probably going to be in for a big disappointment soon.

The trick is to start the Rogain, or implants, now. Do this in sync with your hair loss so no one notices any difference. It's a tricky bitch, I'm sure.

The only thing I really miss about not having hair is not having women run their fingers through it. In my case, it's pretty much one woman, but you get the drift. It always felt good.

I didn't know that Rogaine was an over the counter deal now. I was at the grocery store and saw a guy self-checking a big container of it. It seems like it should be more of a prescription thing.

The dudes who market that as a cure should be in jail. I'd go with that shit in a spray can as a better alternative. Yeah, that shit.

When I saw the guy buying it, I looked at his head. Based on what I saw, I hope it was his first batch.

Same here, if I let it grow. I clip it because its more convenient. I'm 44.

Cancer treatment is taking care of me having to clip it.

I am going to stop posting here, as a 49 year old man with glorious hair, lest I wake up tomorrow bald, but smarter. Which wouldn't be a bad trade off if it were not for my horrendously shaped head. God knows that would look horrible and, up to the point, has cut me some slack.

My hair, grown out, rivals Leif Garret back in the day. Frampton too.

I'm 46 and still have hair, although it is turning grey. I use clippers with guards, 3/4" on top, 1/4" on the sides and cut my own hair every other week. I use hair gel and blow dry, no beard.

I was turning grey in my late 20s.

I didn't start turning grey until I hit my 40's.

Yup. Mine is creeping at a substantial rate. I look like Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri. I dye with each haircut.

"Yea, I dye my hair. Wanna fight about it?!"

I'm cursed with a full head of hair into my 50s. I use gel, and have been using shit since today's gel was the mousse! And if I don't, it's just wrong! Getting sick of telling the haircut ladies they need to do a scissor cut and thin it! It's in the ****ing computer, I'm not new, and I'm there every 3-4 weeks! They love my hair, but forget it as soon as I walk out!
