Is head shaving addictive?
Once I shave it my head after a period of shaving abstinence the impulse to keep smooth is so strong that I can't bear not to do it and let any single hair grow and despite saying to myself "I'll do it two or three times a week", I end up wielding the razor every day. To me that just like any other addiction.
If I go cold turkey I find it difficult not to shave, but the feeling does recede after a lot of willpower and self-denial. However if I suddenly shave again I fall off the wagon and I'm back bald again every day.
What do you all think on this one, and how close is the comparison?

I think many guys here find it addicting. It is a process that yields a good feeling, so I'm sure guys can get addicted to that good feeling.

In a word:
YES!!!

YES!
I can't go a single day without shaving my dome smoooooth.
-
Yep, its addictive. Great feeling going aginst the grain every moring and then shining her up after the shave!
-
You bet its addictive. I've shaved in the past and let it grow, and every time I grew it out I thought about shaving it again so I finally did. I've been shaved for about a month now. Its kind of wierd but I can't seem to picture myself with hair again. I love being sly and its very addicting.
-
Can be addictive. I wish it had been this acceptable years ago.
-
i'm definitely addicted because i am a daily headshaver. sometimes i may skip a day but nothing longer than a day.

I still skip days. I go every other day because I don't wanna irritate my skins. Still giving it time to toughen up. My worst nightmare is waking up one day with bumps and razor burn.

My name is Andre and I'm an addict ;)!

Andre, after reading that you have been shaving for 14 years, I checked your profile to see your age. Man, you are doing something right. I swear I thought you were like 25. What's your secret.
-
Jeez, I didn't realise you were that old!! ;) :o
(joking, ya know I love ya really! :-*)
Seriously though.. I'd have gone with around 28 :)

Oldest trick in the book. It's the old "tell everybody you're 10 years older than you are and they'll think you look great" routine. ;)
Only pitfall is if you that and people believe you, it could be upsetting. :(

Feel the same way. Can't go a day without shaving and can't ever picture
myself with hair.
MagmaBabe, about BALDANDRE...
He's NOT that old. It doesn't really matter what someone's chronological age is. It's all in how you approach life. Headshaving is extremely life confirming and re-invigorating.
-
Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And again, hell yeah.

Hi, I'm Red and I'm a shavaholic.

Headshaving is extremely life confirming and re-invigorating.
As well as that it also hides a lot of age clues like grey hair and receding hairlines so people do have more difficulty in estimating ages for us sly folks. When I told someone I was 42 the other day, they wouldn't believe me!

Not at all. I could give up anytime. I just do this because I want to. No, really, I could stop.
Now where's my razor? Where is it? I need it! I've gotta shave.
OK, maybe it is addictive.

hahaha, yeah ;) I had that a few weeks ago... some (drunken) woman came and plonked herself at our table, as she'd taken a shine to my 'boyfriend' and told him he looks a lot younger than his age.. she then proceeded and told me I look around 42. "B*!ch!" needless to say, my boyfriend and his mate decided it was time to leave the pub... :/O
Rafter... about BALDANDRE... I did mention I was joking!! :D

See, that's when you needed to tell her you're really 52 and looking forward to collecting your pension in a few years' time like she must surely be doing. >:D

Thanks Stem & Magma...I take statements like that as complete compliments...
Most people always peg me for younger...I should try to have the guy at the carnival guess my age...I think I'd win...

mostly have a slick, SLY bald head is what throws everyone off! ;)
Razor you are Soooooo jealous bro! ;) :*)) :*))

i like a smooth dome as much as the next sly brotha but to be honest sometimes it's just a chore. I usually shave at night and after a long day i don't want to deal with showering and shaving. but than the next day there's stubble, which i can't stand. Just can't win!!!!
