I seldom get any comments anymore. I've been growing my hair out for over 3 months, and a couple people have commented on my hair. I did have a gal friend tell me this week that she likes it shaved better. I'm really looking forward to going back to a bald head soon!

When I started shaving my head nearly fifteen years ago, there weren't that many guys who shaved their heads where I lived.  It was more common to see it in places like New York City, but less common in the suburbs.  Over time, though, shaved heads became more common to the point where it was just another hairstyle, especially on young guys with MPB.

Presently I been doing a #1 hair cut. The cold weather is delaying the use of my pit bull shaver. I have never made a full winter with a shaved head.
The bald head is so common these days. I first saved Bach in 2007 , then it took more nerve than now.

Maybe this explains the almost total lack of traffic to this site.

Personally I think it has to do more with the fact that more people have migrated from bulletin boards like this to other social media platforms.  On Reddit there is a chat called "r/bald" that has a lot of daily activity.
Bald by Choice since July 2023!  Having hair is overrated.

Yeah, r/bald is extremely popular and has numerous posts every day.

One thing that?s better about this forum is that there?s much more focus on head shaving, products, actually being bald, etc than there is on there.

That subreddit is about 60% pictures posted by guys who think they?re going bald and want reassurance. I was in that boat once too, so I sympathize, but it tends to dominate the feed there.

When I first started shaving my head around the turn of the century/millenium my (late) wife and I had a mobile espresso van and we had a route in a nearby town where we made drinks for a number of businesses. When we started this business I had hair down to my shoulder blades, usually tied back or braided. One of the businesses we delivered to was a hair salon with about 6 hair stylists (all women), and a couple of nail techs. When I shaved my head I was a little concerned about the reaction I would get, especially from this particular business, but the first day I walked in with the scraped grape one of the stylists walked right up to me and asked if I had lost weight. I told her that I had in a manner of speaking and then rubbed my head. At this point she still didn't get it which both pleased and relieved me. I finally had to tell her and she stared at my noggin for a few seconds before she got it.

Really kinda funny for someone who worked with hair for a living.
