I grew it back numerous times for a few weeks, but always returned to shaving it all. I'm still not sure why I'm drawn to the bald head look, but I do love the look and feel. When I grew the hair back, and would see someone with a shaved head, I would be envious.

I'm like reddog…...I always go back to a shaved head. I love flattops and will grow it out to sport a flattie, but it's a tough haircut to maintain so I go back to a buzzcut and then back to a shaved noggin. Bald heads are such a nice feel and so easy to maintain.

it happened to me just today I was in the hardware store and I saw a guy with Flattop and I guess I was jealous because I really missed mine.  but then back out into the 94° and high humidity I thought to myself there’s no way my Flattop would even stand up in this humidity! what little hair I have left is to baby fine and I would have to fight it and constantly blow dry it and maybe even have some pomade in it to keep it up in this humid weather.  I wish I had gone back to the store and told that sweaty guy with the Flattop that you really ought to give the sly look a try !

To celebrate my liberation, I treated myself to a nice straight razor head shave at the barbershop and was very grateful that I have a beautiful bald head in the Florida summer heat!  I don’t have to take care of and worry about that sh*t anymore!!!  The most maintenance I have to do during the day is to wipe off my head with a handi-wipe!

Yes! Summertime is a great time to be bald. Wearing a nicely tanned smooth dome feels awesome, especially when you feel that cool breeze wrapping around your head.

I haven't felt the urge to grow back hair for some time. I look forward to my daily headshave, and I can honestly say love how a totally shaved head looks on me. I still think a shaved head is a best kept secret, if more guys knew what it is like to wear a smooth bald head, they would join our bald brotherhood!

I love being bald. My hair was always short in my teens and then with shorter and shorter buzzcuts I just decided to go the whole hog and shave my head. I've been bald  or as near as, for the last 20 years and wouldn't want it any other way.

Full head of hair ,I might rather have. But much prefer a shaved head to ring around the head.
But it’s been along time since I had all my hair so I don’t miss it at all.

My wife loves my smooth scalp but I don't think about it much.  It is a task to shaving every morning.  The one problem I have is when I get my scalp nice and smooth, I know that the next day, I'll have stubble and have to shave it all over again.  I guess it's one of those things.  The other thing is my grey scalp but not much I can do about that.  I do the best I can.  No big deal.

I'm bald by choice since I can still grow out a head full of hair.  I only started shaving my head about 10.5 months ago.

Honestly I liked it more than I expected and I like the look and feel. If I stop shaving my head one day it already feels like velcro and get this urge to shave it smooth again.  Plus it helps me keep a nice neat look.

Now if I start to get major hair loss, I will just shave off the rest of it. I'm not going to fight it.

I have grown to love it. Now that I'm retired I've gone down the DE-SE wet shaving rabbit hole. A dozen different razors, 25 -30 artisan soaps, and a half dozen brushes. I look forward to shaving every other day.

This doesn't quite apply to me because I can still grow out my hair. I only started to go sly about two years ago. If I were really balding, I would just embrace it and shave it all off. I like the look and once less inconvenience to worry about.

I love being bald. It's just a nice clean, easy look. Being bald just seems all the more real to me.

I guess you can say I like it, today is my 12th baldiversary! No matter how many times I attempt to grow my hair, I always get the razor out and return to totally bald! It just feels so great.

Yesterday, I was at a car show and a young man about 20yo walked by me and said "wow" , ran his hand over his buzzcut head and gave me the thumbs up. I had done a nice shave and had a great shine, guess he liked it!

My second anniversary will be soon. I do not miss letting my hair grow. I don't mind being called "baldie"

I love being bald, and that?s a good thing, since I?ve had my head lasered. I?m going to be bald the rest of the way.

It?s awesome not having to think about hair at all, and I think I look much better bald than with hair. I actually had someone tell me that being bald suits me and that I?d look weird with hair. I?m sure there are people who knew me with hair that would say the opposite.

Regardless, I am glad to be bald for life.
