Thread: Losing it anyway

I shave the top of my squash.....and cut the rest with the clippers....lather your head and put the blade to it....it's all about feel...most of us could shave blind folded after 5 years.

Make that two years. I agree with your assessment, is is about feel. I tried the full head shave a couple of weeks ago. Didn't care for it much. Staying with shaveing the dome. Leaving the tongsure.

Did it last summer with a straight, it is just like combing. Nearly ...

Best advice:

Get ready to have more dates. Seriously, I definitely got more dates once I began shaving my head. I only wish I had begun shaving it 10 years sooner!

If you bump your head you will know it. Cabinet corners = cuts. I guess hair is a "cushion" of sorts.

Summer and no hat = sunburn. Unless you like cold showers and the increased risk of skin cancer, get used to wearing a hat.

Winter = cold head. Get used to wearing a hat whenever it's the least bit chilly.

I haven't used a straight razor on my head yet.....

i wouldn't go that far, seems that Brad Pitt and all the hairy guys do well too. and my wife says she likes hair Tc

Ask your wife if she's attracted to these men: Yule Brenner, Telly Savalas, Bruce Willis, Vinn Diesel, and Jason Statham.

Bald men have always held a certain allure for most women. Shaved heads wouldn't be so popular now if they didn't.

If a man is losing his hair, by all means he should shave it off. Nothing looks more pathetic than a comb-over....well that's not true. More pathetic would be hair powder or a hair transplant. SHAVE THE HEAD.

If you have hair, more power to you. Do not do the comb over, I have shaved mine for a few years now. I also use a straight razor on the dome.

I shave my whole head. In my wilder moments, I have shaved with a straight but I usually use either a DE or a Mach 3. Shaving with a straight is a bit nerve wracking until you do it once or twice. I used to go against the grain but was suffering too many nicks on the back. I settled on with the grain and using a nice sharp razor. I'm normally in too much of a hurry to go the straight route but it is no worse than the face. Lately, when traveling, I haven't been able to bring either a straight or a DE since I shun checked luggage. However, I sometimes drop down to Mexico and you can get a blade there very cheap... but it is also kinda cheap so you have to be prepared to work it over.

I think your choice could make you feel better but you may want to consider the help of an expert barber. Choose high-quality shaving products and materials if you plan to do it on your own.

Its a Myth, The more you shave your hairs, the more the hairs grow, if you're losing the hairs, I think you should give it a try!
