That's just another benefit I forget about, wearing a shaved head can save you alot of money! Plus, you get to look awesome.

DoberDaddy:
I haven't shaved my head in a year. So $0 on razors. No haircuts, and the shampoo I use for my power donut is so little (and that's leftover hair system shampoo LOL).

Nothing is cheaper than 0! ;)

It seems wherever I go, I usually see at least one other Sly dude. It's much more mainstream around here than it was 20 - 30 years ago. I'm glad to be part of it!

I feel like headshaving reached peaked ubiquity and mainstream acceptance during the 2010s, I see plenty of baldies whenever I go out but its not anymore than it was a decade ago. Most balding guys tend to opt for buzzing over shaving, and it seems to only be older guys or guys like myself with high Norwood patterns that go for the full bic.
Also, the mainstream knowledge and availability of hairloss prevention treatments are way more known than they were 10 years ago, and social media has done alot towards destigmatizing hairpieces and transplants among young men as well.

I think during the early 2000s head shaving was fashionable even for guys who had a full head of hair like me. Even young guys in their 20s were shaving their heads. I remember on boards the big question was how to eliminate the shadow.

I think guys now just do buzzcuts with their full heads of hair. When i was in the supermarket several months ago, there was a young guy with a shaved head. He had a full head of hair based on the 'shadow' and I did a double take thinking it's been a while since I saw that.

@J_Scott: I'm curious to know your thoughts on how many younger guys are getting transplants, hairpieces or using minoxidil or finasterid.  A coworker of mine got a transplant. He's fully bald in the back so i'm guessing most of the transplants are in the front. To me it's not a great look because he was growing his hair out. He looks like a guy experiencing hair loss trying to conceal it. I think maybe got transplants too late or his hairloss was very advanced. I think a buzzcut would have worked better on him. I actually saw him with the buzzcut, when his hair was growing after being shaved to get the transplants.
