Don't like bald.
Billy Zane and Sean Connery can pull it off and besides, they'd lost their hair already, so no biggy.
I love hair. I see a head full of thick silver hair and I just wanna play with it like a doll.

I'd look like a chemo patient if I shaved my head, so I settle for close cropped.

I love bald, my OH is losing his hair anyway on top so a swift zoom around with the razor works, As someone already said, cuts out the middle man.

I like having hair. I prefer that my woman has hair... on her head... at least.

I'm watching a DVR'd Bill Maher with Ron Howard which brought to mind this thread. I have never thought Ron (to my brain, Opie or Richie) was very attractive (he reminds me of the old Skippy peanut butter kids). However, to this female's brain, he looks pretty damn good for 55 and would look even better if he just gave up on the "ring" of hair he's holding on to!

I feel groupy jumping on the Patrick Stewart bandwagon, I have a good defense though, I was there and have the T-shirt for the whole original run of TNG! Na na Will, you whippersnapper! I realize I've contradicted myself because I said Ron should lose the "ring" of hair and PS (w/ the "ring") was sexy (didn't say it, but implied by agreeing w/ CG). It's just gotta be who the guy is and how he own's it! Who am I kidding? Picard kick's Opie's ass.

WK, you are smokin' hot in that pic, why in the hell do you shave your head?! Fuck, what a waste of a perfectly good head of hair (not that your not hot without hair, you are, but why waste it?). HST was not a good lookin' dude (even JD couldn't sexy him up!). Work the hair you have before you lose it and no longer have a choice (that is, if your genes say so)!

I'm with CinnamonGirl, I love running my hands through a guys hair (or grabbing and clutching in the moment!). My DH had a pony down to his shoulder blades (I wasn't a big fan) and then decided to have me shave it off about 8 yrs. ago. Now, every two weeks I use a 3/8" on the sides and back and 1/4" on the top. I no longer get to run through, grab, pull or yank on my man's hair. I miss it.

I felt after I finished this post that I should fess up that I was celebrating my B-day tonight and therefore may not have been spot on with wording, spelling or grammar.

The first time I had my head shaved (okay, not exactly "shaved," but buzzed using clippers with a #4 guard—was in the aftermath of a horrible, horrible haircut. My hair is curly when it grows out and I wanted it cut short, but the woman who did it gave me a frumpy, older woman's hairstyle.

In truth I'd been wanting to have my hair buzzed for years prior to this and had always been told it wouldn't work, but I held out hope that the naysayers were all wrong.



I'm more than happy with how I look with a buzzed haircut. Someday I'd like to try for a shorter cut with a #3 or #2 guard, but I'll probably never go all the way to the skin (not by choice, anyway).

My partner's done the job for me every time but once and it does save on money and the hassle of going somewhere else. I'm due for another buzz and look forward to returning to the summer streamlined look very soon.

For some reason, I think most men look younger when they are bald. Especially if they are graying or thinning.

Obviously if you have a head of lush, thick hair, you probably won't look much younger.

Like another poster said, comb overs, transplants, etc. are the worst things to do.

But if a man decides to shave his head, he has to maintain it every day. It's a commitment. Last time my husband shaved his head, then started letting it go, shaving like every 4th or 5th day, I issued an ultimatum, I'll only shave my nether regions as often as you shave your head. Since I shave every day, that whipped him into shape!

That suits you very well. Not many women can get away with shaving their heads. You look stunning.

Spinelust that looks great. it really works for you.

I've been shaving my head for 5 or 6 years now. Jimellow I use a DE on my face too but haven't had the balls to try it on my melon yet although I know some folks in other forums that use DEs or even Straights for shaving their heads. What I've been using for years is the Fusion Power. The blades are expensive but it has never once cut my noggin. I do like shaving with a headblade though and picked up one the other day figuring maybe I would switch to that for a while. The only thing that has kept me from trying the DE on my head is the way head cuts bleed and bleed and bleed some more but if you take your time and are careful it should be ok. It may take more passes to get a smoothe dome though. There is a forum called Slybaldguys that has alot of info on head shaving if you are interested.

...bald is sexy

To those that shave your head bald, with a razor, how often do you generally shave per week?

I've had mine beard trimmer short for the last few months, but just shaved it totally bald today. I already like it a lot, and will be able to shave my face and head at the same time. I'm just curious how often you find yourself shaving your head and if the head hair grows noticeably faster than facial hair, or vice versa.

When I'm shaving my head, every other day. I think it depends on how much your scalp can take though. If I shave everyday, it irritates my scalp.

If I'm not being lazy I'll shave it every day. If I am being lazy it may be a week or 2 or even more until I start feeling like some kind of damn hippy and shave it off again.

Good post, WK.

...

I look better without hair than I do with hair.

I shave mine with a #4. It gets a little long then I do it again when I get sick of it. I'm balding too, so trying to pull off real hair is becoming annoying.
