So after some back and forth with the wife I've decided to shave my head. Baldness runs in the family on both sides and my hair started thinning at around age 27-28. I tried Rogain and some other products a few years ago but honestly I'm at the fuck it point. For you guys that do shave your head is there anything I should be aware of? Any advice you would give?

I trim it down with clippers before taking a razor to it and use a fresh razor every time. Shave against the grain. You'll be surprised how many different directions your hair grows. Be careful around the ears

Yes, ears bleed bad. I say shave with the grain first then against it to get stubble free. Take your time till you get used to it, otherwise it'll look like you used a cheese grater. Welcome to the bald side

I have a "Bald Eagle" electric razor (5 floating Heads) it's not quite skinhead, but it damn close and MUCH more convenient. ED it takes 5mins max just like my face.

I've considered it as well but I stopped losing hair when I stopped being Keto. Made me rethink it and I hope my hair starts getting thicker

I'm headed down that road as well. One last try. we'll see if this combo of minoxidil and finasteride works. If not its all coming off.

I tried a few things but it's just not worth it anymore. If I have a cap on (which is 90% of the time) I have been guessed at 28-30. The cap comes off and ppl are like "would you like the senior discount sir?" So screw it, I'm 40, the hair ain't coming back and it's just not practical to keep up the illusion of hair anymore.

I shave mine in the shower, still use shaving cream and a razor. Then any needed touch up after I'm out.
