I recently went through my yearly urge, and stopped shaving for almost 6 weeks. I'm definitely receding in the front corners so I have a big vee going on. My hair has also gotten very fine. So last week I decided to trim it and couldn't get it to look decent. I finally put the 0000 blade on the clippers and buzzed it down, got in the shower with a fresh razor, and a few minutes later bald again! As usual, I'm amazed how awesome it feels and looks great.

I go back-and-forth as well alternating between clean shaven head and a horseshoe Flattop but the honest truth is that the baldness continues to progress in my old spot on my crown there?s no I completely bald crown in my temples continue to March to the rear!

In my opinion you look younger and healthier with a shaved head but you have to do what makes you happy that?s important.

So I thought I had read/heard somewhere that rubbing onions on your head will stimulate hair growth but, then I thought I must be making this sh*t up. Well, then I looked it up on the interwebs and, "VOILA", it's true. They talk about cutting up like 4 onions and squeezing the juice out of them and rubbing it onto the scalp. This has to be done twice a day for maximum benefits. There were a bunch of websites that had articles referencing this. As a cautionary note I have to say that I just skimmed the articles but I didn't see any mention of how the aroma of fresh cut onion juice on the scalp might impact what I might refer to as "interpersonal relationships", particularly in the early stages. But, hey, give it a shot and post some periodic pics so we can monitor your progress.

I did the same thing early on. My first razor was a Gilette Sensor (Or was that a Schick?), then I went on to a Personna M-5 Magnum which I still have but cartridges are increasingly hard to find. A couple of SE safety razors and a couple of electrics and a couple of Head Blades and a Harry's cart razor (nice rig) and I finally convinced myself that it's a hobby and now I regret nothing.
It could always be worse; you could be hanging out at the local casino squandering the kids' college funds.

I've been wet shaving my face and head for about two years, and my gear keeps expanding along with my soaps and balms. I've just ordered my 8th razor and have a little guilt trip going on.

Anyone else?

Just wondering.
