Is this typical

[GaryT]

Not typical here. I shave every day but I'm also known to take a day or two off once in a while. But, I never let it grow long enough that I have to use clippers before shaving!

I usually let the stubble come in.  Often times I'll go a week without shaving.


I think it depends on if you have enough hair to grow.  If you do, go for it.  If not, stay sly.

Yeah, I've been there, done that.  I shaved it for the first time in July 2005 and kept if for three months before letting it grow out back to a flat.  That lasted for about 6 months and then I shaved it off again in May 2006 but didn't like it for some reason and only kept it shaved for a week before letting it grow back to a flat.  Kept the flat for quite a while and then last sprint decided I was going to let that grow out.  That went on for about three months and then I went back to the flat and kept it until May 16 of this year.  On May 16th I took my son for a haircut and got myself my first barbershop head shave.  It was ok having the barber do it but I can't believe that I spent $17 plus a tip for something that I could have easily done myself.  Anyway, I've been Sly for about 2 1/2 weeks now, mostly shaving the dome every other day, every day the last five, and I'm loving it!  I don't know how long it will last this time but I'm thinking at least through the summer, perhaps longer than that.

I used to go back and forth a lot in the beginning.  And I always hated myself for it once the hair was grown back in.   Observing the 30 day rule helps a lot; it takes that long for the bald image in the mirror to become your "regular" look.  And of course, over the course of time, you have more of an incentive to stay shaved when less hair grows back.
