I’ve been shaving my head for years. off and on since 7th grade, but I’ve been bald headed pretty consistently for the last 3 years or so. I just use clippers with no guard, then after I shower, I use my electric to get the stubble, or sometimes I just leave it. I looked like a leukemia patient when I was 120lbs, but now I look like a badass. Most people at work are pretty “scared” of me, as per their exact words, but I’m not a people person, so that works out.
Ironically, of 3 boys my mom had, I’m the only one with a naturally thick, full head of hair, and I’m the one that shaves it. My older brother went bald, and he started copying me, which was comforting that he had the self respect to just shave it, and not do the whole “clinging to what used to be” thing.
Personally, I think I look better, there’s no maintenance (other than keeping it short), and I live in California, so its very rarely cold enough to make it uncomfortable (in which case, I have an impressive collection of beanies).
