Over all its another haircut. Your shaving it off the hair is still there growing. It is an option that's not permanent. Have fun with it its your head.

I cannot add anything else to the pro for being bald by choice, but there is one con about it.
It takes me 20 minutes each morning to shave my head and face.  That is worth it though.  The good out weighs the time spent each day.  When I just buzzed by head it was wash and go and then I did not have a goatee and just shave the entire face.  Again the goatee and bald look is so worth it.

Because I am lazy and need my sleep, I usually shave at night. The down side is my Slyest hours are spent sleeping! The up side is I can jump out of bed and pretty much go!

For me the pro's are: It's the best "hair-style" and look for a guy (and even some girls suit it).
Easy to maintain - no trips necessary to barber/hairdresser unless you really want to. There are lots of other pro's too numerous to highlight - some already highlighted elsewhere in this thread.

Downside: pillow pattern on scalp when I awake in the morning (soon dissipates, though) and cost of replacement blades.

When I was younger I never really perceived myself as having a shaved head, although I did admire the guys that had their head shaved. My first head shave came as a bit of a surprise for me at the suggestion of my barber and although I kind of was affraid to go through with his suggestion, I am now really glad I did. Haven't looked back & I am proud to be a baldy by choice.

Mostly pros, but the few cons I have are:

-Hats.  I used to wear them a lot.  In AZ, it's a big help.  I find them uncomfortable now, and my head seems to break out a little after wearing one.
-Sunblock.  I have naturally oily skin, so I still haven't found a sunblock that doesn't make that worse or make my head break out.
-Cost.  If you use carts, it's a biggie.  Since moving to DE Safety razors, this one isn't as big of a deal anymore.
