Advice for Shaving Head?

“I'm strongly considering grabbing this thing by the balls and just shaving the whole thing and going full bald.“

Do it. Own it.

Start with clippers with no attachments first. Get used to that, Then eventually clean shave.

“Looks better on guys with muscles..”

Bullshit.

SMV starts in your mind first. Get out of the comparison paradigm, because you can never win in it.

Your inner world will show through- how you feel about yourself. The time is now faggot.

Your hair: This isn't working out. I don't want to be in this relationship anymore.

You: Baby, no! Please stay. I love you. I'll do anything! Just please don't leave me 😭.

Your hair: Stop crying. I have to go now. Good bye.

Maybe thats a dumb analogy, but you get the point. Fuck your hair and everything it stands for. Shave that shit!

Hey bro. 37 male here. I started losing my hair at 21, said fuck it, shaved it all off and have never looked back!

Think about it; do you want to be a Middle balding man, holding onto the little hair you do have, or do you want to be a confident bad ass who shaves his head?

It will be a shock at first, but get some sun on it and be confident and I promise you’ll never look back. People will OMG you, tell them you’re making some changes and they can touch it if they want! Girls want to touch it all the time!

Invest in a smart old school double edged safety razor, non of that Gillette tripped head shit, some barber cream and an alum block and go for it. You will cut your self a few times, but you’ll get it pretty quickly!

Embrace it, be a badass who shaves his head. Make shaving it a ritual and be confident with it! Fuck everyone else.

All the best!

Get a headblade and don't look back. If you are fit, yes bald looks awesome. But then again, anything looks better when you are fit.

Bic it and see if you like it. What’s the problem ?

JoATMoN9 · 2018-06-08T19:02:01+00:00

This would be a really bold move for me and would pretty much shock anybody who has known me for any length of time, but I feel like I'm ready to shake things up

So is this for you or for them?

Has anybody tried a full head shave and not liked it? Any good results?

You sound timid. Do you usually consult random ppl before making a decision about yourself?

Once a week this sweet young lady shaved my head and trims my beard. Best $15 in my budget.

Does everybody use a manual razor to keep their head shaved? Anybody had success with some kind of electric--either rotary or clipper style? How long does it take to shave your whole head with something like a Gillette Fusion?

If I was balding, I'd go with the Ed Harris/Jason Statham buzz cut...a 1 or 2 guard... rather than the full shaved head.

I've got a full head of hair, but did the bic'd head thing quite a bit in my 20s. Doing it clean like that got to be a pain in the ass, I thought...and it usually looked better with a day or two's stubble anyway.

This point in my life, though, I'd rather not DIY it. The clean-up and knowing there aren't any missed spots would be worth the 12 bucks.

Just make sure you clean up all the hair above the shoulders. Keep the eyebrows & ears tidy. That shit really sticks out when there's no head hair.

The_Litz · 2018-06-08T18:36:52+00:00

I shaved it all off 2 months ago. It suited my headshape but I was not 100% satisfied with the look, and it took more work to keep it off than I anticipated.

Don't be afraid to do it. It grows back!

cheltman · 2018-06-08T23:32:39+00:00

Neil Strauss tried it and it seemed to work for him.

Just do it already and stop whinging. You're not a woman for who hair is really important.

I have been shaving my head for over a year. It is more work than I thought it would be to maintain a "clean" look. I get stubble even over the course of one day. I prefer using a blade to an electric. I don't use shaving cream (turns my skin into mush) because I get a better shave without it. The hardest spots to keep tidy, for me, are right over the ears.

RonSwanson64 · 2018-06-09T02:34:09+00:00

I generally shave my head with a normal multiple blade razor in the shower every 2-3 days. No need for any shaving cream.

Go for it. Muscle will come if you lift, eat and sleep.

Being bald will subconsciously make you more attractive than if you actually could pull off a "good looking" toupee or combover or grow just enough hair to be almost normal. Doing either of those things shows that you're insecure about your looks and yourself. Own it completely, and you'll surprise yourself.

Same thing with grey hair. Greying hair will look weird at times, and shit if you do a half arse job at dying it, but let it go, stop worrying about it, and all of a sudden you're a "grey fox".

This also goes for glasses. Either get contacts or laser, or own it. Don't get those minimalist, frameless, thin things that scream out to everyone that you're ashamed of your eyesight and trying to hide it.

Train your neck. Tan, jawline, muscular neck... that’s how you make a shaved head look good... don’t fall for the beard shit. Beards are for pussies with weak chins and jawlines. A big neck is ten times more masculine than a beard. My head gets shiny so I use a matte lotion by a company called head lube... and a shiny tan head looks way better than a shiny pale head. I don’t use a razor... even if you bic it... you’ll still have a monks ring visible. It’s way quicker than using a bic type razor. I used regular clippers but I wanted something that cuts shorter so I bought a set of wahl five star balding clippers (a main stay at black barber shops)...that fucked my shit up in 2 seconds... hurt like hell and gave me a rash. So I searched for something that cuts at a length in between regular clippers and balding clippers. So I bought these... they’re perfect. https://home.wahl.com/products/lithium-ion-stainless-steel-9818

It’s just hair. If you don’t like how it looks after, it will grow back to its current shitty condition soon enough. This is a really low risk move and you’re spending too much time fretting over it.

hair grafting (aka Bosley's hair replacement) works great. only downside is significant one time expense.

ravenRedwake · 2018-10-09T17:11:10+00:00

So I've been using women's disposable razors in the shower (working good so far), but I was wondering maybe if an electric shaver might be better for daily use? I haven't cut myself badly yet and I'm used to doing it in the shower but does anybody have any recommendations for a shaver?

Reject444 · 2018-06-08T18:34:07+00:00

And should I do this at the barber for the initial shaving, or just do it at home with my own clippers?

FvckYourSafeSpace · 2018-06-08T21:35:36+00:00

i did full shave when i was young and scrawny but had a beard to balance it out. as long as i didn't also shave my fave it wasn't horrendous, but if i shaved my face, being skinny or skinny fat with a shaved head and no beard is a horrible look. the best look for me is what i've been rocking lately now that i've put on some muscle from my younger days- shaved head, short beard. chics seem to like it a lot more when you have muscle. and for my own tastes it just looks a hell of a lot better in the mirror.
