    If you want something you can hone yourself you could use a lathercatcher, some of them have a handle that can be screwed off. Makes it very convenient to use on your scalp.

    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.

    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.....

    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.
