At what age did you shave your head? (older guys)

Kind of a related thought to the subject of this post.
When bald/shaved, we always look the same. No new hairstyle, no bad haircuts, no good/bad hair days, no new gray hair, etc.
Being that we look the same everyday—plus/minus a little stubble.
I wonder if people think we're not aging like our peers? I say that because whenever I see people I haven't seen in a long long time, I always hear, 'you look the same.' Which I think is a good thing?
On the other hand, when I see peers from my school days, who are now thinning or lost inches to their hairline, I think they look terrible although I keep my mouth shut.
Thoughts?

Right Chris. I see it as an advantage to have the same great looking hairstyle everyday. I remember going to the barbershop once a month, never knowing how your haircut will turn out. Luckily, I've been blessed with dads good genes, and at 65, have almost no wrinkles.

Exactly right. Sometimes my buddies will land a bad haircut from time to time. It's something that makes us baldies grimace. At least we're consistent w/ our appearance.

I remember too many bad hair cut days before I shaved my head at the barbershop.

My ex wife was a great hairstylist. She gave me great haircuts, but she cut it the way she liked it, always a longer style. After the divorce, I went to barbershops, and could never count on a good haircut. Now I can count on a great cut everyday, and not having the white hair is a bonus!
