Ten year baldiversary, at a crossroads.

The first week of June will be my 10 year anniversary and I'm considering a couple things.

After 10 years, I'm considering stopping shaving while I still have a mostly full head of hair. I've tried numerous times to grow it back, but seldom made it past a few weeks. It would take a great amount of willpower, especially in the summer! It would be cool to  get a flattop from a good barber.

Or I could stop shaving for a couple of months and get a barbershop headshave on my anniversary to celebrate. There is a lady barber near me that does shaves, and I've never had a gal shave me bald.

Semi-Sly:
Why not have your cake and eat it too?

Go for the pampered shave on your birthday and afterwords grow it out and sport a flattop for six months or so?


Have some fun with it while you can

Do you want even want to try a bad ass mohawk after the flat top!  There’s even a video on YouTube about a flat topped Mohawk!  Way Cool!

reddog:
@Semi-Sly , thanks for the suggestions. Food for thought!

I'm also thinking if I start growing now, it would be about 12weeks to my anniversary, and I could get a nice flattop by then. The lady barber I mentioned does a killer flattop. I've seen her work, and it is outstanding. Then later in the summer, I can go back to her for a smooth headshave.

Razorhead:
Wow 10 yrs! Congratulations. It seems like so much longer. When to grow and when to shave…..my only advice is to think about tan lines when you go to shave as we head into summer.

Plus why not celebrate 10 yrs of baldness with a nice head shave!

But enjoy the flattop. Best haircut ever.

Congratulations on the 10 years.

I often think that if I had hair, there are several styles I would like to "try out" on myself.  Some would take some time and effort, but I think they would be fun.

Tight fade side part - the modern version of a classic.

A Mohawk - kind-of old school edgy.

An undercut, shaved sides and longer top.  Similar to our own @DoberDaddy 's hairpiece.  Also very similar to the mohawk in cut, just styled differently.

And this one would take a long time - a Mullet.

And of course, a Flattop (your own photos are my best example)
