I have been shaving my head for 20 years. I have found that the best way for me has been…
I have a mirror in the shower to be able to see your face when shaving. I use Barbasol shaving cream. That’s right, the old foamy stuff. I use the Gillette Fusion Power razor, you do not have to use the power blades for it to work right and they are cheaper. I usually get about ten head and face shaves out of each blade. Shave against the grain, this will get the closest shave. They be sure to wash your head after you shave. This will help to close the pores on your head to help prevent those annoying bumps. When you are all done follow up with a sensitive skin gel after shave. This has always given me the best results.

Hey Guys, Great Site

Started thinning on top at around 18/19, some people were saying it to me but i never took any notice of it, didn’t really start to properly freak until i was around 21, and boy did i freak, my 60 year old dad has a head full of hair, his dad died in his 70′s with a full head of hair, why was this happening to me, my life is over, i can never do anything ever again etc etc, so after about two days of freaking, i shaved my head to a grade 2, loved it, actually suited me better than having loads of hair, I’ve never even considered a piece or a transplant, it’s just not for me, I’m turning 26 shortly and my only problem is i have become a slave to regaine over the past 4 years, i’ve always kept my buzzed very short but have used it to try and stave off the bald spot, recently ive started realising than i can’t keep doing it forever as it’s started to lose it’s effectiveness, and i’m ok with it, i’m better than ok with it, if you keep trying to fight it or cover it up, then hair loss is a problem, if you accept it and embrace it it’s not a problem, have you ever seen a guy walking around with a proud bald head and thought, “God, he could use a good comb-over”, it got me thinking, back when i was 17/18, i use to play football, there was this guy on our team who was a few years older than me, maybe around 21/22, everytime girls would show up to practice they would be all over him, he was totally bald, but he was in good shape and confident, but what intrested me thinking back on this is that, back then the fact that he was bald never came into it, i never thought, “wow, he can have women all over him even though he’s bald”, i never thought about his hair or lack thereof, i thought, i wish i could be like that, and this is when i had a full mane, the only people who think about hairloss and look at yours are other people who have hairloss, that its, walk proud my follically-challenged brethren

Im 35 and have always shaved my head with electric clippers except for twice in my life. I had bad result both times. The clippers do not get it close enough so Im debating on using a razor on my head. Do you have any suggestions on a razor, cream, or anything else that will prevent me from getting razor burns and bumps all over. Thanks!

Brian,
Not to minimize your observations and concerns cause I know it isn’t easy, but read “Getting Back Control”, March 4, 2011.
Mr. Alexander’s last sentence regarding acceptance is great advice and, if nothing else, a great place to start.

Best wishes.

Finally took the plunge with a little help from cancer! Some of friends said they didn’t even notice, which tells one how much hair I had! It’s gone for now and never to return? Who knows.

Noticed lots of bald advantages. Mentally it was a little difficult at first, but now I like it! Glad I joined your ranks, just not the reason why!

I’ll keep it short, as I don’t have the measure of horror stories as some of you. I spent $400 on a snake oil called Kevis when I was in my early thirties. It was just too smelly, and I knew deep down it was a snake oil, I just hoped for some kind of miracle. I ended up throwing it out, and working with combover style hair for another few years.

Eventually I had no choice: if I wanted to keep my hair, it would be in the form of a bozo ring, with a patch on the forhead, and some strands combed over. Having read some of these other stories, I thank God I didn’t do a transplant.

About the time my (now ex) wife was leaving me, I shaved my head.

Gentlmen, if you have any doubts or reservations, cast them aside. Women don’t mind a bald head, and some of them love it. Your stock won’t go down at all.

It’s pretty cool to stumble on a site like this, just wish I’d found it ten years ago.
