Don't mind being bald but hate to shave every day and can't stand the stubble
TomF:
I have been sly for the past 4 months. It has been refreshing. However, those around me are still not use to the look. I look in the mirror and I don't recognize the person I am looking at. I do not know when that thought goes away. I am only at a Norwood 2 scale of hair loss. I do not like the time it takes to shave and with dark brown hair my shadow shows up around 3 or 4pm. At the end of month two of being sly I tried out the epilator near the temples. It was painful and only did 1/4”. The epilator did work. Only about 20% grew back in those particular areas. Now that I realize the permanent effect of doing this strategy I will probably wait 2 or 3 years until I go any further till i confidently love the bald look. Like I said earlier, I still find it strange to look at myself in a mirror. I researched numbering cream to help with the pain of an epilator. I found this. I have not tried it but looks very promising. GREENCAINE BLAST Numbing Cream for laser hair removal for women and men topical anesthetic lidocaine 4% gel 4 Oz. (113 grams) large tube for repeat treatments. MADE IN USA. https://www..com/dp/B00I080RUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_28yICb25QE7C4

After a decade++ I'm tired of the time it takes, especially weekday mornings and I haven't had coffee.
I do admit it's 'fun' Sunday morning when I'm not rushed to leave the house and get 100% cue ball smooth. LOL

I don’t find shaving burdensome at all. It only takes a few minutes.
reddog:
No doubt it does take some effort, especially if you just have to have your head BBS every day. For me, it's worth the effort to look super sharp, and have that perfectly smooth head.
Most people could go 3 or 4 days without shaving and still appear to have a shaved head. But I want it BBS daily.

Every smooth shave feels like a tiny victory.
