I have several reasons for shaving:
-ease of maintenance
-it's cooler and I sweat like a....
-it looks tough and intimidating
-nothing for someone to grab in a fight
-high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor

Hi and welcome BaldBen! Great first post... the CDI is a good one!
-
All good reasons, but at 6' and 155 lbs, I don't think I have the tough and intimidating factor. I just like the way it looks.

Welcome, Ben...I'm with BaldRob....nice entrance!!

Welcome Ben. You've come across a good group of guys.
The CDI Factor is a definite plus. Personally, I would disagree on the ease of maintenance thing. I didn't have much hair before shaving it anyway. So, a little shampoo and a brush and I was out the door. Shaving my head is a little more work, but not enough to deter me from "keeping it SLY".
One HUGE plus for me is health of my scalp. My severe case of dandruff has disappeared since going SLY and that can not be overstated.
Again, welcome!

Something I've always enjoyed is being able to take a shower and go right to bed. :) You can't do that if you have to dry your hair. ;)

Pros and Cons, There might be too many cons to list. Being bald I never have to wory about, Bed Head, or Hat Head, going to the barber and decideing which hair style I want, I don't have to wory about windy days, or rainy days for that matter. How about knots in your hair when running a brush or comb through it. That's just a few. :)

I've had lots of women rub my head, but never lick my head, maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong people.

another thing that isn't necessarily a pro but interesting it the fact you can fully grip your own head, almost like palming a basketball.

There are so many "pros"...
The only "con" that comes to mind at the moment, isn't a huge deal....and more of a "con" for newer shavers like myself....not to mention for the person with the misconception...
That "con" would be fielding the knucklehead perceptions...
My wife actually has fielded this one the most....
"Why in the world would he shave his head?...he's not going bald"
I've gotten the same direct question to me twice in as many weeks...
Actually it was couched as a statement:
"Only men who are going bald do that...you know because they _HAVE_ to."
But again....no biggy....they don't have to understand "why" anymore than I have to grow out my hair just because I can.
My experience in knowing y'all and other chromers is that about 50% shave (or at least did initially) as the best alternative to MPB......
and 50% shave 'cause they just want to.
-
The best parts of the whole thing imho is lathering up with the shave gel or cream and then the cold shower afterwards. It just runs right off and doesn't even feel unbearably cold.

Bald Ben, as a new guy to this I gotta say I like that CDI factor.
For me: Like the reaction it gets
Like the feel of the breeze over my head on my Harley
Will never have to worry about using Just for Men
Can't miss me in a crowd

Can't miss me in a crowd
Unless you're in a crowd of bald men! ;D

Talk about a competition factor!

Pros for me:
1.windy days are enjoyed again!
2. getting caught in the rain won't give you a bad hair day.
3. if you wake up and have to get to work fast....you don't half to worry about what your hair looks like.
4. riding in a vehicle with the windows down feels great again! i was terrified to ride in the back seat with the front windows down when i was going bald.
5. the self-esteem and confidence boost is amazing.
-
Welcome BaldBen. Good points on the pros.
-
O0 Welcome, Ben. Great post. You should teach. Professor Melon
-
Robmeister, Big Ups Man O0 I shave because I think It looks a HELL OF ALOT BETTER! Cleaner, and its less to worry about. Here's a Pro: NO MORE HAIR GEL HEAD! and not to mention NO MORE DANDRUFF!
People can say what they want, I shave my head for me, because I think it looks dope. Hell, in the end, they will be wishing they were us anyways when we walk off with the beautiful ladies B*)

with a bald head, you dont go into panic mode when yous Son comes home from school with Nits and until some one invents roller blades for nits, i think us Baldies are pretty safe!

I'm assuming Nits are the same thing as Lice - or little bugs that live near hair follicles. @n(
If so, I completely agree!
