Alright so I did the CdA IM. A couple of days before we are at the lake doing some swimming and all the other tri-geeks are there with many of them are sporting the Mr. Clean look. My wife, after seeing all these iron dudes and the shiny heads, is turned on by the idea and suggests I shave my head. Always willing to try anything I get my head shaved. Well now here’s the question, how do you all keep it clean?? Do you shave daily (which seems to be quite a chore)? Electric razor? Nair for men??
I can’t fully be a member of this club, but a few months ago I went with the number 2 shave. Then, a few weeks ago I went with the number 1. Couldn’t be happier with it.
If you HAVE HAIR, grow it long. Balding guys do the MJ look to hide or prevent the “Larry” look from the 3 Stooges. For the balding male, if nature were just to take its course, and the hair not mowed down to millimeter whisker nubs, he would end up with the hair of “Larry” from the 3 Stooges: and let me tell you that is not a pleasant sight. To avoid any appearance of that ugliness, or flipping over or stupid mess in that, the balding guy must shave his head, almost completely bald, and adopt a “bullet-head” look: like Vin Diesel. A thick neck, upper body and neck muscularity and tan will help but the whole decision choice is dire, because there is not much other choice, other than to do that. Our choice is not really voluntary. If you have hair, your’s is.
Give us your hair.
Were we to have hair like Jim Morrison or Scott Molina, we would grow it down to our ass. To hear that some of you with full heads of hair want to shave them is nonsense and shocking to many of us who don’t have hair but would love to grow it down to our ass.
I’ve been shaving my head since 1992…zero setting on the shaver every 2-4 weeks. My hair is so thick and curly that it is unmanagable and way too friggen hot to work out with. it also cuts way down on shower time and shampoo (which I don’t use).
Also…women like coming up and rubbing my head. It’s shocking to me to think any man would want to deal with the nonsense that goes along with having hair down to your shoulders (or longer). btw…I had hair down to my shoulders before I decided to start shaving it. And yes…I’m bald by choice. I secretly wish I’d go bald so I wouldn’t have to shave my hair.
I don’t shave my head with a razor, but I’ll cut it at as short as I can with a pair of clippers. Since I’ve started doing it this way, I can’t imagine going back to having hair. It’s just too easy to never have to fool with hair.
If you have a thick, curly full head of hair, THE ONLY time you should shave it would be if you HAVE LICE! Okay, that, or firecracker burns, or fire or grease explosions of some kind. Or Mange.
Women, let me rephrase that, women who are “hot,” although they may patronize you, or be courteous and kind about “baldness,” or “share in your acceptance of it,” THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT LIKE IT, if its A) Have Hair, versus B) Balding To Bullethead Look. They won’t tell you that to your face, but that’s what’s going on.
Good lord. Do have to spell this out. Who looks better, the Young Darth or the dude who took off his black helmet.
If you’re happy with your hippy/ 80’s hair band look, then don’t let me stop you. Aside from Conan the Barbarian, I don’t remember seeing many guys with really long hair that could kick my ass in a street fight
BTW…the darth vader reference doesn’t hold water…since he was burned from head to toe when he was bald. I’m willing to bet he could get many women using the old jedi mind trick…bald or not.
Went with the cue ball look a couple of years ago when I lost a bet to my class of 6th graders. Kept it that way for about 3 yrs then busted my collar bone and couldn’t keep it shaved. Went for the hippy look and actually got it into a workable pony tail. It really bugged the kids and quite a few adults so I put a price on my hair. School then earned the money so I’m back to “bald” even though I have no problems with being folicly challenged. I shave my head every time I shave my face; really doesn’t take that much more time. I use a razor (Mach 3) and it keeps it nice and smooth with out any rashes. If I let it go more than a day or two, I end up like velcro and stick to the sheets - especially in the winter when the wife puts on the flannel sheets.
btw…I had hair down to my shoulders before I decided to start shaving it. And yes…I’m bald by choice. I secretly wish I’d go bald so I wouldn’t have to shave my hair.
