New here, great site.  So I am 31 and losing my hair, have been for the past 10 years or so.  I have shaved it down to a 1 and also a 0 on the clippers and it looks not half bad.

The only thing I really dislike about my situation is that I have this hairloss island in the front that does not look good.  I think it may look better if there was really no hair there at all, but you can see the shadow of it and I hate it.  I think it would look better if I was just completely bald up there (which will probably happen over time).

I don't think I want to take it down to the grain yet.  I mean with a razor, but my question to you guys is for those that are dealing or dealth with hairloss, do you know what I am talking about in regards to this "island" in the front and do you find it helps it look a lot better when you take it straight down with a razor?

thanks

Stu:
Taking it all the way down is the obvious solution here.  If you have your hair trimmed that short, I can't imagine it looks too bad.  It's when guys try to have any length to their hair when it's thinning that makes a bad look.  Post a pic if you're not sure.  We have lots of opinions here.

Tyler:
I know what you mean about the island.  I don't have it, but two of my Sly friends do.  I didn't even know that they had it until I saw each of them with some two day old stubble.  I would try shaving it down with a razor to see if it helps you eliminate the shadow.

YOSP:
Get rid of the "island" Bro, shave it completely ...its the only way you will feel better and stop putting yourself through the unneccesary frustration.  :o

I have the MPB demon and although I hate the "shadow" of the cursed horseshoe, I feel 1000000000X better with the "SLY" look than trying to hide it under something...

Welcome to the site, if you have questions about shaving, products, or anything, you have found the right place...Tyler hooked the site up and there are really great people here, and some really  :px :px ones too!!!

I know exactly what you're talking about. What you called an Island, I called a "patch of bad grass" (not smokeable grass). In college, a roommate's dorky friend called me the "missing link". That was the name of a pro wrestler from the WWF in the 80's that had bushy hair, but shaved a portion of it so he had "the Island" of hair in front.

My opinion? Shave it off. Coming from a former Island Mon, it's liberating to know that crap is not there anymore.

Cheers!
Schro
