In Minnesota, not far from me.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Well, Minnesota is too far that won?t help me ha ha!

But that?s my problem when I?m here in Illinois I have a barber who can carve the perfect flat out out of my baby fine chemo hair but when on the Florida for the winter, there?s nobody there who knows how to do it and they wind up screwing it up so it?s just easier when I?m in Florida to shave my head for the winter.  But I am ready to do that this year because I am working again as a Barber myself and I don?t know what kind of signal that sends my customers with The Barber just shaves off all of his own hair.!

Flattie

It still looks pretty neat! I will likely go for a flattop if I decide to let my hair grow out again.
Bald by Choice since July 2023!  Having hair is overrated.

@Semi-Sly , Have you ever tried to cut your own flattop? I can cut mine pretty good. I just trimmed it using a #2 blade and a comb/scissors.

I can see where wearing a shaved head would be a problem for a barber. It presents a well groomed look!

I can?t cut my own flat top first of all I haven?t completely bald crown so it has to be razor shaved horseshoe flat with high bald fade done to it.  In order to do that you have to be able to look at it from the top and from all sides and I can?t do that myself even with mirrors.

 Secondly, I have baby fine chemo here and it does not feed well into the clippers.  It just lays down when the blades hit so it?s a real problem to try to put a Flattop into and only one or two guys that I know can do it.
