[beardbald]

1.   Are you naturally bald ?
I have hair loss

2.   How old are you ?
I was 44 on Monday

3.   Do you shave your head or buzz it ?
Shave

4.   Why did you shave your head the first time ?
I had a 0 for a while in my twenties, grow my hair out but it was starting to recede

5.   How old are you when you did it ?
Dunno about 10 years ago I took a razor to it

6.   Why do you keep on shaving it ?
I don't like what I have left or the hairline if it grows out for a day or so

7.   Would you keep your bald look forever ?
I prefer how I look

8.   do you like being bald ?
If I had good hair, it would be great. I'm not bothered by it. I don't get the sense of excitement that some members do here who's post appear to be almost soft-porn. I don't really get that.

9.   How often do you shave it ?
Daily. Sometimes twice

10. What razor do you use ?
Hydro 5

11. Do you have a beard ?
Yes and started to grow a bigger one. I find that more interesting that a bald head. Once you're bald, well you're bald really. What else is there to say.

12. What are the best reactions you got ?
Haven't had many reactions. I don't really live in a world that some seem to, where we're constantly sharing "Oh how we laughed about being bald" across the table of the restaurant when our wives were present and didn't think it was strange..... and swapping hair loss cards at every opportunity - sorry little bit weird to me.

13. What are the worst ?
You look better with hair when people see pics. Err yeah, I know.

14. Does your partner like your look ?
Don't have one

15. Do you think bald men are more attractive and masculine ?
Quite a sweeping statement. As a gay man, I find many different men attractive. My type tends to be a shaved head but there are some more attractive guys I see  that do have hair but they are less my type. I also don't agree with the "everyone looks better with a bald head" message that gets put out here. From some of the pictures I see some people don't and there's a different between MPB and BBC. You might not have the best head shape but if you MPB and are taking control good on and I'll support that but  I also don't feel the need to tell people with a perfectly good head of hair that they need to shave cos it's "a man's style". I'm open about my sexuality but I think there are some here that hide behind their love of bald heads because they don't want to admit "other" feelings.

[Razorhead]

1.   Are you naturally bald ? Receding hairline and balding at the crown.

2.   How old are you ? 45

3.   Do you shave your head or buzz it ? I shave and buzz depending on whim. My buzz's are #2 HnT's  or I'll go shorter. Sometimes I'll sport a flattop. When i clipper shaved it's with the balding clippers -- which are a pain to use (razor shaving is easier).    

4.   Why did you shave your head the first time ?  I was clipper shaving my head at the time. And i was curious to see what a razor shaved head would be like. I bought a Headblade which sat on my counter for a couple months and I talked enough about shaving with my buddies. Eventually I gave in to peer pressure to finally to just do the deed. I had a few beers and just did it. My first pass with the head blade was on the side...then i thought 'what am i doing!?' so i manned up and took the next pass right through the middle of my forehead and across the top. No turning back!

5.   How old are you when you did it ? 36

6.   Why do you keep on shaving it ? There's an easiness to having a shaved head. No barbers. No waiting. I love the look and feel of a shaved head. I wanted to perfect shaving! It was the most radical 'haircut' i ever got and I never wore a cap to hide it. I loved my bald head immediately after i shaved it. I can't say the same thing when i got my first crewcut or flattop. I hid under a hat then.

7.   Would you keep your bald look forever ? I shaved for many years (had a full head of hair). recently, i grew it out and experiment with haircuts. I'm a big flattop lover. My days of wearing a flat are getting limited. So I still sport a flat every now and then. but i don't hesitate to take the blade out when i want to.

8.   do you like being bald ? Love being bald! But I love flattops.

9.   How often do you shave it ? 4 to 5 days per week.

10. What razor do you use ? Mach 3

11. Do you have a beard ? Right now yes. With a shaved head i had a goatee mostly then beard.

12. What are the best reactions you got ? People just liked it. No one talked about my hair any more (that it was grey, they didnt like my 90210 haircut etc). Got some nice head rubs. There's a camaraderie with having a bald head which is the best part. People liked the look of my bald head.

13. What are the worst ? Never had a bad reaction. Though when i would grow some hair, people would say they liked the fuzz! Mostly because if you shave long enough, you meet a lot of people along the way that only know you as being shaved. So hair is a surprise.

14. Does your partner like your look ? Yep!

15. Do you think bald men are more attractive and masculine ?Yes. Nothing worse than rat's nest on someone's head. LOL. It takes courage to shave. 

16. Have you ever convinced someone to shave their heads ? Yes, my best buddy. I did his first head shave. He thought it was a blast. He had a Bozo the clown effect. It was time for it to go! Ironically, he was the one of the ones who always had a comment when i had hair. I let him clipper shave my head once and his reaction was 'You've come a long way!'.
