At what point do you just say frick it and shave it all off?

I’ve never done the comb over and just keep it short (2 or 1 guard), but hairline is really far back at this point. Keep what little I have or shave all the way to skin all around?

I’m about a 3 vertex on the Norwood scale. I’m also not fit like the Rock. Can’t grow full lumberman beard either.

….Damn…. The more I type the more I realize how little pussy is in my future.

Take charge. Bald is better than balding.

Bald guys are awesome. Have you ever heard of Johnny Sins? He was a policeman, astronaut, scientist and rock climbing enthusiast. Dude gets laid all the time

When I was about a type 4, I'd swirl it around, plaster it with spray, and it looked (to me) okay.

It happened that there was a guy on the sidewalk facing me when one day a gust of wind hit me head on and my lacquered top flipped up like an unlocked convertible roof on a 70s rag top. I'll never forget the snicker he had when he saw it.

That afternoon, I went to the barber and got a buzz cut. Now, I do it myself and it matches the stubble beard.

Shave it with an electric trimmer… no guard. Grow the beard out.

Lastly, keep a stick. You will need it to keep the women off of you in public. It’s tough.

Just shave it. People look ridiculous trying to hang onto strands of hair.

The real question is buzz it off low as the trimmer can go or Mach 3 that bad boy smooth as a baby`s arse?

Most guys cling too long. If you’re questioning, it’s probably time to shave it.

When with a 2 guard soon as I realized I was wearing a hat 95% of my life to hide the crown thinning. About 24 years old. Went shorter and shorter on guard as it got worse. About last year at 37 started with a razor and now hitting it every 2-3 days. I hate wearing hats and bald people who constantly wear hats show insecurity to everyone (my opinion). There’s no fighting it. If Lebron James struggles with the money he has, no hope for the regular folk. Been married 15 years so being attractable on the open market is not a concern. Confidence in whatever u got going on ontop your dome is key.

Was at 3 at 30 and girlfriend told me to at least clip it super low. Was the right call.
Have sometimes but also use clippers no guard often to keep it mostly gone.

Some people have weird head shape and his does not work.
They clippers down tight then shave to see what you think.

I am at 6 now and keep it gone mostly but do t shave head but once a week.

Depends on the shape of your head. Round head, shave it. Oval or rectangular, you might wanna hold down the fort as long as you can. Bald isn't a good look for all head shapes.
