So, Leadduck, did you do it, or not? I saw my hair thinning in my late twenties, and before it got bad, I shaved it off. I have wet shaved it once, and with a Nerelco. But I prefer using electric barber clippers to get as close as they can get. I like having some stubble up there instead of a super shinny pate. But you do you. IMHO, there is not much more troubling a thing to see than a Man who has clearly lost, but still fights. I saw myself going there, and took matters in to my own hands right away.
