However I would assume that study applies only to men who go bald naturally not those of us who are bald by choice... Genetics have nothing to do with the overwhelming need to peel yourself. About two months ago I had my shoulder replaced and for about ten days things like shaving went out of my mind. As did pretty much everything. When I finally lurched back into consciousness, I was amazed to discover how much hair I actually had, not a full head, but no major recession, just a thinning and it was a silvery white as is my moustache-also a gift of non-shaving. It's a keeper I am just having trouble learning how to groom it...
