I have hair and wouldn't dream of shaving it... I mean, what would my wife run her fingers through?

I have hair, just not a ton of it, and shave it off...

...but I wouldn't use a DE. I'm getting ready to transition from Sensor (two blade) to Bic.

Not a chance in hades. Basic training in the '60's army was bad enough.

I have hair, thinning a little, but I shave it off. I'm pretty sure, though, that nobody takes me for a younger man

My kids look at photos of me with hair now and tell me I look funny. They have short memories as the photos in question can be from a matter of months ago.

(I use a <gasp> Fusion on my head, and it works nicely. My head shaving is much more sloppy and perfunctory than my face shaving (Progress or W&B chopper), for reasons such as my head being a uniform shape supported by bone and my hair being less tough than my beard and the grain on my head being a non factor).

Ah yes, the WSJ. The voice of american capitalism and all that is good with our economy.

If I lose much more on top, I'm getting a Head Blade and running it across the scalp where hair once grew.

I shave. I have the classic "crown of laurel" hairline at this point, so I'm not missing much by shaving.

I use my DE to shave--can't really report any problems doing it that way, other than I cut myself once when I first started out using DE razors. Otherwise, I don't see any appreciable problems with them.

My previous answer was kind of tongue-n-cheek. Being that I am almost sporting the Homer Simpson, I shave my head in the spring through early fall. As this is the case, I am glad that shaved bald is becoming acceptable again and even popular for caucasians (it has always looked good on, and been acceptable on black men as far as I know).

If you feel like shaving your head, or just want to try it, go for it! If you are not forced by nature to be bald, it will grow back.

Now, if nature had not selected me to be follicle-ly challenged, I would be as I was at 21....with hair down to mid chest......but with a clean shave as opposed to unshaven back then.

Oh, and btw, I shave my head with a Ranger Tech.... only shaves I have ever had that are truly BBS (and I mean NO stubble for about 4 hours...like glass) is on my head with the RT.

I have a full head of hair and keep my head shaved slick. No sense hiding a good lookin head behind a bunch of hair.

Been headshaving for about 7 months. Love the look. Could not do it with a straight like I do my face, but only takes abot 3 minutes with my Future.

i have been clipping my hair real short all over for nearly 10 years. not stubble short; just a real short buzzcut.

i did it because i started to thin out on top in my 20s and it was the only real option. if i wasn't going thin on top i would definitely grow it as i think i looked better with hair on top.

i sort of feel a bit cheated about going bald in my 20s. in your late 30s / early 40s, then fair enough. that's expected. but your 20s?!! that's a bum deal right there.

God created only a few perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair.

I went through chemo treatment last year and lost all the hair on my head and face, but nowhere else. I kind of liked being bald, as it sure made things easier and quicker in the morning. As well, my step-son said it made me look intimidating. Since my hair has grown back I haven't taken to shaving my head, but I do keep my hair very short now as a compromise between shaving and not shaving my head. BTW, I do shave my face every day now, as I like the feel and look of BBS.
