2.  What shaved head?

I love how some of the comments on that story even pointed out it’s not a shaved head. More like a long buzz cut with a #4.

To me shaved, happens either as a clipper shave with one of the zero blade attachments or no plastic guard attachment on your clippers. Or it’s with a razor.

It always get to me when the media makes a short haircut into a shaved head story.  It is not even short enough to be a true crew cut.  Like @Razorhead said, a shaved head is when there is no visible hair remaining other than some shadow or stubble), zero guard or razor blade.  I sometimes even have a hard time calling a zero guard a head shave, although some zero guards are very close now.

It’s bad enough when they call a #1 buzz or a zero-guard cut a shave. But what this guy has is not even all that short!

I don't know who that guy is and he certainly didn't shave his head.  Looks like a full head of hair to me!

[Semi-Sly]

Who is he?  He’s just another self-centered self aggrandizing so-called social media “influencer“.  You’re supposed to care about what he thinks just like you’re supposed to give a flying F——k About with the Kardashians think!

He is a Canadian singer.

I always said “clipper shaved” when I used a zero or no guard. But when I was doing that that and then lathered up my head and used a razor for the first time, whoa! There is a difference! Going from 1/16” of hair to razor shaved smooth definitely has a different effect when you didn’t think there would be. The smoothness, the shininess can’t be beat.

I'm trying to do the math but I figure the growth at about 1/8 inch a week so 1/4 every two weeks.  Maybe 1/2 inch a month so 1 inch every two months.  I'd have to let mine grow for maybe 3 months to get my hair that long.  Shaven?  Sounds like media sensationalism to me.

I mean, hand me a pair of clippers I can make that shaved for him if he wants to say it's shaved

Well, the guy likes what he likes but I was thinking a lawnmower might help a little more than the clippers would!

[Razorhead]

Maybe he will catch the bug and get curious about what the next shorter clipper attachment would look like. 

Many of us got started that way. I mean what’s the harm in going from a #4 to a #3 then eventually work your way down to 0 and then ‘why not shave’.

Yeah, I know how that goes but it really bothers me when someone claims to have shaved their head while sporting a full head of hair.  A lot of things don't make sense to me but that's one of em!  Shaven means shaven and can have no other meaning.

[DoberDaddy]

To be fair, this was Yahoo... no comment was made by the actual haircut recipient. People (magazine) said he got a buzz cut.

True, in this case (and others I have read), it is the media that uses the term "shaved" for a short haircut. I think it is just click bait.
