As I am a fairly new "recruit" to the BBC "Army", how often should I shave my head to keep the "bald" look ?
I have been told by a barber that I should shave it every day to keep my head smooth & hair-free. How often do you shave your head ?

Bilko - welcome to Sly Bald Guys!
To be completely hair free on your head, you would need to do this about as often as you would your face. So, if you have to shave everyday to keep your face hair free, then you'll probably have to have the same routine for your head.
If I want a completely hair free head, I have to shave everyday. But, I shave every other day, sometimes going 3 full days if I'm in a hurry the morning that I would normally shave my head. I'm completely bald by choice because I'm thinning and I have a small bald patch on the crown of my head, so I can go two to three full days and still have it look as though I'm bald by choice. Anymore than that and it's evident that I'm going bald.

I use the razor every day or two during the week. On weekends, I let it go. Gives me a break from shaving.
Cheers,
T.

I usually shave everyday, I might slack on the weekends occaisonally. It depends on the time I get up on the weekend and what I'm doing the rest of the day.

The worst thing to do is shave everyday! There is nothing worse than razor burn on your neck or back of the head wear the hair is the thickest. Shaving my head for 10 years and I believe the optimum schedule is twice a week. No bumps, no razor burn, no irritation.
I personally shave every Wed and Saturday morning and that seems to work the best.

I've never really had a problem with irritation. Although, having a full head of hair naturally, I get stubble the same afternoon. Bugs me quite a bit. To each his own I say though.

I love it when my head is freshly shaven, and I always keep touching and stroking my pate for a while after
shaving - I sit on the couch and watch some TV or I'm online, and every now and then my hand moves (on its own, it seems) to my head and glides through it a few times ... aaahhh (sigh).
What I always hate are stubbles that appear a few hours after shaving (they become quite noticeable the next morning), and then I stop stroking my head so much. They just spoil everything...
Anyway, I try to shave my head every third day. Sometimes an entire week can go by till the next shave. When I first started shaving it was every second day (it was exciting to shave back then, but I never shaved every day, I was afraid it would create to much irritation for me. )
Now I always have to force myself to pick up the razor and get it done (but I still enjoy it when I'm at it).

Happy Harry, I totally feel the same way. I shave my head and my hands go on their own to feel my head. I shave every 2 or max 3 days. And I hate the stubbles too.
Oh yeah, and my hands play with my mustache too!!!
They go from none to much hair!

Me personally I can't stand stubble so I shave everyday...If I have a date and I shaved that morning I might even shave for a second time before I head out....It doesn't get too irritated if you clean your head with alchol before and after you shave, It burns like a mother but it keeps away the razor bumps

I have to shave everyday to retain that overall feeling of bald-sexiness that women seem not to notice.
