Mach3 - Mach4…whatever it takes. I have a Mach4 as well - wouldn’t shave my dog’s nuts with that razor. I guess more isn’t always better - unless you have a dog with hairy nuts.
Mach 3 Traditional, Turbo, or Power?
I used Turbo.
There’s a difference between a shaved head and a bald head. There is a difference between a 20 something shaved head and a bald 50.

Thirty years of scars.

Either way, I get asked sometimes if I was going bald and if that was why I shaved my head. The answer is no, I wasn’t. That means that some people might be thinking I was going bald. It doesn’t matter. I don’t get complaints about my head so it isn’t an issue.
I do understand your issue with dating older men…but I don’t get why you have an issue with baldness if you specifically target older men. That is a part of getting older. It would be like me saying I ONLY date older women but I won’t date one with wrinkles. It makes little sense to have that particular preference in your case.

I bought a boatload of blades at Sam’s Club and they only had Traditional (such is the price to be paid for getting value in bulk). I am more of a Turbo guy - seems to glide much nicer. I have never used the M3 Power before and I am really curious to see if anyone else has. It looks pretty gimmicky, but if someone else on here had noticeably improved results from Mach 3 Turbo, I would consider it.

Baby oil. Not the shit that actually smells like baby oil but that Lavendar baby oil that doesn’t make you smell like an oversized enfant’s ass.

Baby oil huh? Go figure… I use the same stuff I use on my face, but it is a little bit pricey (Mario Badescu and I buy it at Nordstrom’s… works great, not cheap) to use on one’s melon with all of that additional skin to cover . I will have to look into that. I take it you get a nice glow using the baby oil?

Comments usually range between, “wow, how often do you shave your head?” and “damn, I can see myself”.

Nice. I’m going to try it.
Speaking of comments, it does amaze me, however, how often people feel the need to comment on my shaved head whenever I shave it. “Heyyyy, looking aerodynamic today” or the like. Seriously, I get it. I shave my head. I KNOW I shave my head… I was there in the shower this morning when it happened. Must you comment about it EVERY single time, though? (rant over)

You clearly smile too much. People don’t joke with you to that degree when you look like you will kill them. Go figure.

What would you use if you preferred a matte look?

Cocoa butter lotion. That’s what I used in the past and just wiped any excess off. I don’t always want my head shining bright.

Good point. Another plus for bulking, I think - more menace.

Not necessarily. It’s part of some men getting older. But there are others that will have a full head of hair right into their casket. Age doesn’t automatically equal hair loss.

For most men it does. In the same light, I can’t think of anything more ridiculous than an old guy who looks about 65+ everywhere else with dyed jet black hair. Some people just have a hard time letting go…even to hair color.
Why stop at the noggin?
I’d rather it turn gray than turn loose.
Unfortunately for me, it’s turning loose.
Oh well, it’s not attached to me, so I guess I’m not too attached to it.

Well, guys this is my first post. im 60yrs old and in good shape for my age. in my 40s i started losing my hair slowly. i grew it longer, i wore a hat, i did strange colorings. finally when i hit about 50 i faced and said screw it! by then thin mostly grey hair was not going to determine my life. i now use electric clippers and cut it short. it looks much better short on me than shaved or combed over. i dont color nuthin(although i did for awhile). you know what im over it. i look as good as i can without being someone else.
Dont you T guys get strength from within! i admit it took me along time to face up to it.now i feel just fine. i hope you all will welcome me to the site and not make too much fun of my weakass training habits.
Your new friend from nashville, fred
Welcome Fred!
I guess I have an advantage. I have a baby face. I hated it when I was younger, because I could get no respect.
When I decided to mess with color, and ended up putting blond streaks in my hair, it was because it actually looks good on me, not like some pathetic attempt to regain youth.
A friend who hadn’t seen me in awhile just recently told me that I look like I’m 25. I am 39.
But I understand this isn’t going to work for everyone. You need to do what works best for you. But you’re right in that, generally, short hair looks a lot better.
