Bald

"I won't play a bald man, even on Radio 4."

Clocked the back of my head in a changing room and my crown looks like the Sechelles. I'm Friar Tuck over here. Dunno whether to spray it with some polish or what.

I know I've put it on here before but I worked with got stubble tattooed on his head. Maybe you could do that @Section_31 but just at the back start a new fashion.

Shave it all off but compensate by growing a goatee and scowling all the time.

Ha ha, you've just described me. Apart from the scowl.

Surely the box beard is the way to go, Walter White style.

Only Vlad could come into a thread about going/being bald to complain about having too much hair.

 

Trust me. It's not as much fun as you think it is being 'blessed/cursed' with such thick growing hair. Just another pointless chore every week.

Trust me, I would pay a fair bit of money to swap places on that front.

The only chore, such as it is, is that I need to use the clippers once a week on their lowest setting. The male pattern baldness is obvious if I wait any longer. In the warmer months, I'll then wet shave down to pure slaphead. To be fair, it's still a lot less faff than going to a barbers, and significantly cheaper too. Of course, if I still had a lush head of hair, then the trip to the barbers every 3 weeks for a trim is no chore either. Make the best of what you've got while you've got it.

How does a skull shave compare to a wet shave?

 

My second to the bone wet shave was a lot neater but if a skull shave is less effort and equally smooth I may plump for that.

 

Not paying over £100 for the branded skull shaver though, I'll go for the non-union Mexican equivalent (tm Simpsons)

Got a non-branded one for father's day a couple of years ago. Initially, the shave was very close, but the one I've got is tricky to clean and has become a bit less effective. Still looks OK, but I'd probably invest in a mid priced one if I were you.

I’m got plenty of hair but it’s definitely receding slightly at the sides on the front. I’m dreading going bald though because I’ve got a whopping scar across the top of my head. There’s no way I wanna be telling that story all the time. 

I have that potential problem but but still have enough hair for Her Indoors to moan about me getting it cut on a regular basis. (the moaning, that is)

 

Got a couple of grey ones coming through though.

For years I’ve been going to the barber for them to spend longer on my ears, nose and eyebrows than they did on my hair. 
 

Today the barber spent more time with the thinning scissors trying to blend in the top of the arch of my ‘Mr Motivators’ with the complete lack of anything else on top my head. 
 

No more!

I’ve gone full shaved head now. Very liberating but chilly. I’ve started to wear hats.

What kind of hats?

Flat caps, woollen and I’ve got a broad brimmed black hat that Mrs Hicks won’t let me wear if she’s with me.

I've been having my head shaved with a Wahl down to stubble for years but decided to take the plunge and buy a head shaver and take it down to the bone.

It arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time earlier today and apart from looking like a fucking thumb I'm pretty pleased with the result.

No more fucking about with getting my sideys straight and level, they're gone.

Should have done it years ago.

You should invest in some woolly hats.

Starting to thin slightly, gone for the comb forward 'luke littler' style rather than the combover.

 

I did laugh reading that turkish barbers  (mostly unqualified) are contributing to increased cases of ringworm with their skin fades which can cause bald patches. Good luck with that snow flakes!

Being bald is liberating once you get used to it.

I'm assuming a 'skin fade' is shaving the hair short to the skin in some places while leaving it slightly longer in others? Hence Liverpool FC must have a Turkish barber on their staff.
