I am 35. I get mistaken for 28. Been bald since I was 29. I usually don't get guessed more than 32. And I'm average looking at best.
If only I could figure out how to get rid of the hair that still comes back...

I've been shaving my head for around 20 years. A few years ago I thought about growing out a ponytail so I stopped shaving for about 6 months and when I would look in the mirror as the hair got longer I saw a much older man looking back at me. I'm 68 years old and when I am smooth up top people have guessed my age to be around 50. When the hair was growing out I looked like I was 80.

My wife says it makes me look younger.  She also gets mad if I skip a shave.  I shave because I want to anyway but her input is nice to hear.  If she said she hated it, then i'd probably show her to the door.

I was 100% grey by the time I turned 40, so when I first shaved my head at 59, no longer having grey hair was great! It definitely took many years off my appearance. I will soon turn 68, and when I tell someone my age they can't believe it.

So, yes, for some guys shaving can make you look younger, but maybe not so much for some younger guys.

If you're above 35,shave your head is going to make you look younger.

If you're under 35,is going to age you.

Wait,if I use the logic from Tony Dada's post, if you are 35, shaving your head makes you look 35, i.e., no change!  So that means a guy with a shaved head looks like he's 35 regardless of age!  At least that's what I hope because I am far beyond 35.

No Haha.

Young guys, looks older when they go completely bald.
But older men tend to look younger witha shaved head...35 was just a random number to illustrate haha.

Glad to hear you're still sly! You're proof that a shaved head is a great haircut for any age.

I was at the gym yesterday, and there were 4 of us guys there. Three of us had shaved heads! The other 2 baldies looked like they were in their 20's.

I notice more of us around too. I think the pandemic made people try experimenting with their hair and they realized that bald makes the most sense. I should have started shaving my head earlier than 29.

Well people universally tell me that I look older with a shaved head than Ido when I let a bit of hair grow.  Especially when I’m down here in Florida for the winter because there are so many old bald men down here that there is  nothing about a shaved head that’s “cool”.
