• Hello I have been off and on bald for a few years.  I have kept it shaved for 30 days or more but get lazy sometimes and let it grow a week.  I can't decide if I like smooth bald or a little peachfuzz.  It is very soft to rub the fuzz and it looks baldish.  I am mpb and have little in the front hairline.  Should I just keep it shaved a bit longer to get used to smooth and give it another try?  I can post a pic later.

• I do the same. The 1/16 inch fuzz/stubble feels great.

• Welcome to the bald brotherhood. Shaved bald and smooth works best for me.

• Welcome.
  
  I have let it grow for a week here or there. Booths looks are good.
  
  Let us know how you get on!

• Welcome parchessy ... sounds like either one works for you. How about posting that pic?

• I really prefer the smooth feel.  One day of hair is too fuzzy for me.

• Thanks I shaved this morning.  I enjoy shaving it so I think I will try to shave every other day again for 30 more days and see what happens.  Nothing like rubbing a smooth shaved head.

• Personally, I like my scalp smooth and shiny. It just doesn't feel right if I skip shaving for a day.

• Had the day off yesterday from work, and normally (as in my pre-Sly days) I wouldn't shave. But by early afternoon I had to shave and get that magnificent smooth dome feeling. Didn't shave my face ... but couldn't go the day with scalp stubble. Go figure.

• I'm not an everyday shaver either....I'm okay with one or two days growth....but unless life gets in the way, I don't let it get to the point where I have to clipper shave it before the razor if I can help it.

• I've been shaving clean for about a week, but I'm still on the fence like you.  Buzzing my hair takes about 5 minutes, shaving takes me about 30.  Maybe in time I can get better at shaving and decrease the mirror time, but until then I may take 1 or 2 day breaks between shaves.  My hair is gray, so even with the stubble I still look bald.

• I was at about the 30 minute mark for the first couple of weeks of head shaving. It's down to 10 minutes now - five weeks later. I think the differences are that by this time I've learned the various directions needed to shave everything and avoid rough spots, and I know the maneuvers well enough that I'm comfortable going at a faster pace.
  
  And it pays off every morning with that extraordinary smooth and slick feeling scalp!

• I enjoy the velcro feeling, but the smooth feeling even more.
  I'm under the impression that you like the shave more, but you're finding it too time consuming.

• Hello and welcome ParChessy
  
  I cannot go more than one day without putting blade to head.  It just feels so wrong..."But hey, "Whatever blows your hair back..."

• I prefer it smooh  -- don't want anything up there except skin.
