No, not me, but it would be a heck a lot easier to shave half as much every morning! Thought about laser removal until I heard it won't work on grey hair.

Many times , but in the long run I find shaving easier to maintain and I like the bald look better than the ring around the head . Shaving takes me about 10 min. Every  2 or 3 days. Buzz cut every 2 wks. takes more time setting up and cleaning up.

In my world a "horseshoe" refers to a specific type of a Flattop haircut.  What you are calling a horseshoe I call a "monk's fringe" or a "Bozo the Clown" hairstyle.

Same here. I think of of a horseshoe as a type of flattop too. if you are going to have hair, it might as well be a flattop.

I shaved an (almost) full head of hair when I was 30.

When I stopped shaving, at 49, I was a Norwood 6!

So... there ya go.

Hello Razorhead.  I am sporting a High, tight and Brutal Horseshoe Flattop right now.  But I am already itching to have someone shave it clean and smooth again!

I started shaving at 25, right when I noticed I was thinning. Haven't looked back since.

I still have some hairline, but its jagged, and far back, so not the horse shoe look yet. But, I can tell you this, I myself will not DO the horse shoe look. I buzz my head with clippers, with no guard now, so when I lose the rest of my hair line, I will eventually shave it slick, where the horse shoe does not show. The horse shoe thing is not for me personally. If other men want to sport it, more power to them, but I told myself a while back, NO horse shoe look for me.

hair on top but not on the sides or the back is a military cut not a horse shoe look.a horse shoe look has no hair on top but hair on the sides and back,the shape of a u or a horse shoe.

I have a friend who pulls off the look really well but then he has a pretty awesome beard and maintains it all well. Helps he's a powerlifter so the whole thing works for him as well as it does shaved.

I never had a horseshoe but once my hair became unmanageable and went in all directions I decided to shave it off in 2004 and haven't looked back.
