I've been BBC for over a year now and will never go back. I hate haircuts and am getting laser as soon as I can scrape the funds together.

Mother Nature provided the hint and I finally got smart enough to understand just what the heck she was talking about.

I think I would love to actually be bald. I mean Ami James bald, when you only have the side hair left. I look at my dad and his perfectly tan bald head and I hope I'll be reaching that stage pretty soon.

I'm almost to that point, but I've still got just enough hair left on top to be a nuisance.  I'd love not to have to shave the top of my head.  I'm still having some skin issues up there.  I don't think it's caused by the razor, but it's probably not helping, either.   :(

Truth be known, I would enjoy a full head of hair.  However, I have accepted that I don't.  Now I love being bald - I love when people look at that shine on my head.

I really wouldn't want to go back to the hassle of having hair -- and I bet a lot of guys who think they'd like to have a full head of hair would feel the same way if they ever got their wish.

Yeah exactly. Somehow I've found that the skin on top is a lot more subject to irritation and other skin problems, no matter which razor I use.

My preference is definately to be bald. I shaved my head about 10 years ago and that was the start of it. Time and nature have now had some input and I have some MPB going on. Careful what you wish for, but I will say that even though my preference is to be smooth it is also a realization that you one day will no longer have the choice in the matter. But I figure I won't have any issues living with it.

I am BBC and love being bald. It makes a statement. To me it says "Hey look at me, I don't have to be like you" The next time someone is staring at you and ya feel paraniod, think of it that way. You don't have to be like them "Ignorant"
I'm smooth (my head is anyway) If you aren't smooth figuratively speaking, let everyone know that you are literally smooth on top.

I've previously expressed my "attitude" about this thread.  But, on the process of "balding" as experienced by a guy w/ mpb, I share my brothers' impatience with getting the process over with.  I know it's not enough to grow, but it's more than enough to shave.  Although I enjoy the experience of shaving bc of the great sensation of a freshly shaved scalp, I too wish what is left in those areas alopecia androgenica ultimately will clean up would just go away.  I don't really want to do the laser route, my skin doctor hasn't encouraged my one inquiry about zapping the remainder, and because grey/white is becoming my hair color for the remainder--it probably wouldn't eliminate shaving.  
Ultimately it's like the hairs in my nose and on my ears, it's become a grooming issue that is--removal, not styling.  I can't go around with nose hairs and hairy ears, nor can I let the wisps and scraps of my hair on my scalp grow--for my own self respect, primarily.  I wish they were gone, but I know they won't.  So I use every means available to remove this reminder of Darwinian selection.

It's too early for me to comment as I've only been completely bald for 2 days now, I normally have a full head of unruly grey hair, and so far to be honest I prefer my new look.   O:O

Mind you I am fortunate that 'IF' I were to decide I no longer want to be sly, I can just let it grow back out to my fuzzy grey usual haircut (Don King springs to mind).  ;D

Well I'm BBC and love it.
To be honest I wish I did have MPB as it would make my life easier (no shadow).
I may lose more hair as my father has MPB.
