tired of shaving!
« on: July 05, 2013, 04:19:30 AM »
Hey, I'm Chey, or ShyGuy as many call me. I'm 20, been balding since the ridiculous age of 14. They suspect its because of my hormonal imbalances. ANYWAYS, to the point. Sorry if this is on the wrong section, as its kinda the opposite of shaving.

I don't mind being bald, but I HATE having to shave my head all the time. Is there any simple safe ways to just accelerate my hair loss, or to just make it all disappear completely? Thanks. :)

Welcome to the forum, ShyGuy!....Aside from investing in laser hair removal, which can be painful and expensive, there is no way to "accelerate" hair loss. Shaving can be a chore, but it doesn't have to be....One thing that can make your shaves last longer, which would cause you to stay smooth without shaving everyday, is a shaving brush. Shaving brushes spread your gel/lather/soap and make for closer shaves. Looks great, BTW!

Maybe try and think of some ways to make your shaves more enjoyable.

As I think too much a lot of the time during the day, my shaves are an opportunity to have some time out, to the point where if thoughts come in, I let them float away again and resume focussing on the shave.
Another thing I sometimes do is take it as an opportunity to listen to a new cd or a favoitite cd. As in listen to a cd properly, without distractions, whilst shaving

Is that true about a shaving brush? If so, how come?

The brush spreads the lather more evenly than most naked hands could allowing the hairs to shave right off instead of pulling in the razor. It may not work for everyone, but I have yet to hear anyone say it didn't.

Shave brushes also lightly exfoliate. Don't think of shaving as a chore, think of it as a challenge. Push yourself to get a faster closer shave with no problems. Over all find a reason to enjoy shaving.

Welcome ShyGuy!

I have found that the only real way for me to get the shadow under control is to shave often.  My horseshoe starts to reemerge within about ten hours of shaving - just like my beard.  Tanning helps a lot to reduce the contrast of the hair follicles to the skin.

And remember that Vin Diesel, The Rock, Howie Mandel, Bruce Willis, and the other celebs probably have a coat of makeup and powder on their scalps whenever they are photographed, so their shadows are covered up.
