Slowly adjusting to the brisk air here in New England... started with a toque (that I made myself), and now to a Red Sox cap. Maybe since it's finally the January thaw, I may expose the head-flesh fully and get used to it! :-)

I live in Chicago & there are weeks during the Winter that we don't get out of the teens' & at night can get into the single digits or below.. but for some reason I have been able to adapt to it -I almost NEVER wear a hat or cap, but I do wear ear-muffs when it gets that cold. I think when you keep other parts of your body warmer, it makes up for any heat that you lose from having a bald head. So, basically what I do is try to compensate for the heat loss by wearing layers of clothes, gloves, ear-muffs. If it's above 20f, I don't wear the ear-muffs. But it's really up to individual choice. I was born in the Winter & actually prefer the extremes of Winter more than I do the extremes of the Summer heat/humidity..!

No problem shaving in winter. I live in New England so when its cold you would wear a hat anyway. The only drawback is a knit cap sliding up on a fresh shaved dome. But get a little stuble and its like velcro - hat never moves.

I live in good ole Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where the weather goes from 40-45 below zero in winter to 90+ degrees in summer.
I do not like the velcro thing either. today at work I was taking off my pullover sweater and wrenched my neck. I just shaved the head the night before and that stubble is very unforgiving when it comes to pullover anything.
I do like the velcro when I do get the toque on the head cause it holds in place nicely.
I wish there was a way to stsy "smooth" for more than 8 hours at a time, the stubble drives me bonkers to the point where I am making head shaving an obssession
I even think the girlfriend is starting to get annoyed a lil with all my talk about it

I let it grow during late fall and winter. Just shaved mine a few weeks ago. Only a few weeks of winter left

I like the way the stubbles hold on a hat on them cold wintery days--since im outside most of the day...

I suggest a compromise. Rather than shave with a razor and deal with the cycle of slick and velcro whilst wearing a beanie, touque or whathaveyou, get a beard and moustache trimmer and use that with no guard to clip your hair. It'll still look to the lay person like you shave your head, but the 1/16" hair won't grab your knit clothes the same way. Then when the weather gets warmer and the caps go away, shave it clean. Good luck!

Heeeey, that's not a bad idea... -

So what does buzzing with your basic hair clippers get you? 1/16"? More?
Are there advantages to a beard trimmer?

Winter works for me & my head, as sunburn is not such a problem. We get very mild winters so no real need for a beanie.
Our coldest day would never be less than 50F. -

Gotta keep the melon slick - - I shave everyday - - It has been warmer here in New York so no hat is needed - and I can show off the slick melon - -

I get a lot of comments and questions..."Aren't you cold?"...during the winter months...
Not really, if I was...I would put a hat on...
