Is anyone still on the board?
I login every morning and push the button to see if there have been any new posts since my last visit and in the last month I haven?t had a single post pop up. Am I the only ones still out here?
-
I?m still here. I see that yours was the second post this month. I hope we can get this board active again! I hope everyone has a good weekend!
-
I still check in every two to three days looking for activity.
-
I read it regularly. This board provides a source of support and advice and I still value it.
-
I'm still here, too. Haven't been on in few weeks due to some family issues.
-
Seems there are a lot of people looking at the site, but only a few members posting.
For those "just looking", join us and jump into the conversations.
-
I am, not too much going on.
-
I am also here!

It looks like there are alot of guys looking at this site but not commenting. If anyone needs information or has questions, just join in and comment! We are guys that for numerous reasons thoroughly enjoy wearing a shave head. Whether you're starting to lose your hair, or like me, still have most of your hair but want to try sporting a bald head, you can get info here.
I guess since headshaving has become so popular, it's not such a big deal anymore. Even so, we can advise newbies about shaving equipment or techniques. I found this site a couple days after my first headshave, and the guys here gave so much info and encouragement I've been a daily shaver nearly 11 years!
-
Well, I think there?s a lot more to us than just the fact that we shave our heads, and I think we?re a pretty unique group of guys and should not let this group fall apart
-
Shaving may be more mainstream but some things like laser are scary for me (I'm booked to start it next month if I don't get cold feet) and it helps to talk to guys who have done it.
-
I can understand that @Josh-Mtl . I said that I would consider laser if I didn't have white hair, but if it came right down to it, not sure if I would follow through. Every 6 months or so I try to grow my hair back. I make it 3 or 4 weeks, then I can't stand it and shave my head again. I like my head completely smooth so I shave every day, so it would be nice to have laser eliminate that need to shave daily. Let us know how it works out!

Still here. I check in every few days to see if there's anything new. Not too much different going on for me so really nothing to post about.

Josh, I?ve had my head lasered. Feel free to message me with any questions

Hey Josh, that?s really cool you should take photos and keep us posted on your journey.

I am still here. Grew some winter fuzz in February. Shaved it. Grew some fuzz again. Why I don?t know. Probably to check in on how much more hair Mother Nature has taken. lol. Ready for warm weather and getting a little tan on my head.
-
I haven't been here in a while but I just checked today.
-
@Razorhead , I hear ya, why do we keep trying to grow some hair. I grew mine back in February, and after 3 weeks trimmed it to a horseshoe flattop. For once, I thought it looked darn good, so at 5 weeks I attempted another trim. I shaved the sides and back and tried blending the sides with A 0000 blade. Well, I went too high and there was no saving it, so out came the razor! I'm always amazed how great it feels to have a smooth bald head again.
-
Thanks for your support guys! I'll make a post about it with pictures if I don't get cold feet again ;D

I find that this forum is a great resource despite not having a lot of recent activities. I use the search function quite a bit when I have specific questions or topics related to head shaving.
I am a member of various bald groups on Facebook and read the posts from r bald on Reddit from time to time. I think many guys still struggle with going bald or wanting to be bald by choice. I hope they also discover this forum with great information.
I remember that I went to a restaurant with my colleagues a few months ago and saw a balding young man with a severe combover. It is not common to see young guys sporting such a combover nowadays, and he kept looking at me. I was guessing that he was looking at my shaved head and might be wondering if it was an option for him.
All the best to those members who decide to go for the laser hair removal route. I watched some videos and were amazed with how clean and smooth the bald head looks after completing various sections of laser hair removal.

It has been three years since I got my scalp micro pigmentation done and this coming Wednesday I have an appointment to get a touchup session done on my scalp
-
I check in every now and again to see what is going on.
-
I look in periodically. Doing #1 buzz cut all winter, so I didn?t fell the urge to add my two cents. This site use to be so active ,how things change.
-
When I joined this site 11 years ago, it was very active every day. It helped me immensely when I first shaved my head. I wonder if it is less active because shaved heads are so mainstream these days. Ten or fifteen years ago, sporting a shaved head was much less popular or common. Now, a bald head is just another haircut choice, so newbies need less support.
I actually liked it more 10 years ago! I enjoyed catching people giving me a second look, or asking questions about my shaved head. And also the random gal that asked to feel my head.
Anyway, I still think a freshly shaved head looks awesome, and I still give another "baldie" the head nod. I don't think our style will lose it's popularity anytime soon. We all know that once you keep your head shaved for a month or two, it's hard to stop!
