Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
Don't mind being bald but hate to shave every day and can't stand the stubble
Semi-Sly:
If I am gong to shave my head I want my dome to be as PERFECT and beautiful as my flattop was! i want people to look at my gleaming dome with pure envy!
Unlike many of you guys I just hate having to shave every day. I just don't like the time it takes or having to try to reach behind my head an hold the razor just so, etc. But, if I don't shave every day the stubble spoils the look and feel of a nice clean head!
My hair has already turned grey or would laser it in a heartbeat! I had my back and other body parts lasered years ago while my hair still had color and I am so glad that I did! I regret not having gone ahead and had my head lasered while I still had some color
So tonight I tried using an epilator. A lot of guys have said that if they do it monthly for a year the hairs get very fine and they can go days without shaving. Doing the top was not too painful but oh the sides!!! I will wait to do the sides until I have more time and some ice packs!
I then shaved the back and sides with my new Omnishaver. Oh Man - I have NEVER GOTTEN SUCH A SMOOTH SHAVE and I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN SUCH A FAST SHAVE before.
I think that with regular epilation and great tool like the omnishaver I might be able to keep up with this and have a perfectly smooth head shaving only twice a week or so

I dont now why everyone is complaining about the shaving ritual....is so relaxing and fun.

@Semi-Sly I know after many years of shaving it can get old. I have now backed off and only shave every other day or so, but I also like the stubble free smooth feel. When I am not pressed for time, though, I still enjoy giving myself a smooth shave. I would think as a barber you would actually like shaving. Does it have more to do with your shoulder issues? If a guy comes to your barber chair and asks for a head shave, do you enjoy that, or is it just part of the job?
Barbero Pelón:
@slybeard is making the right questions 👌
I'm not a barber,but I would like to shave another head other than mine.

No, While I do not enjoy giving face shaves, (because they are tricky and time consuming), I do enjoy shaving a guys' head; especially if it is his first time and I can help him see just how good he can look. BuT I don't like shaving my own head or face because:
1. My disability makes it impossible for me to hold my head upright or to tilt it back at all. And,it is very painful to even try to get my head back enough to shave my neck.
2. I have had three shoulder surgeries in the past three years and I just cannot get my arms to go up, over and in back of my head very well.
3. Like any other profession, what barber wants to cut his own hair or shave his own head when the rest of the world gets to have someone else do this for them? It is kind of like the auto mechanic's car is always the last to get serviced; the house painter's house is always in need of attention; and no chef want's to come home after a hard night's work and have to cook his own meal?
