I'm thinking about shaving my head. I'm not talking bicing it. Just using the electric shaver without attachments. You see it's a long standing issue between my wife and I. Currently I use the #3 attachment on the razor. which leaves me about 12mm of hair. My wife likes me to have hair however. In the summer I like to shave my head. Atcualy I like to shave my head all of the time for a couple of reasons
1. It's cool in the summer
2. I have an annoyingly huge cowlick (so bad I had to have the photoghrapher crop it out of wedding pics)
3. I'm lazy, no brushing, conditioning or shampooing needed. I can just wake up and go!
4. Because I ride motorcycles all of the time...My hair molds it shape to the inside of my motorcycle helmet. Great I get a dorsal fin all day long.
My wife thinks it looks bad. She thought it would look bad for interviews So I compromised with her and said until I got a job I wouldn't shave my head. Welll now I got a job. Although I havn't started yet. So do you think it would be bad form to shave my head before my first day at work?

I use the #1 guard for my razor. Gives a slightly soft stubble feeling. :D

Shaving yer head 15-20 years ago would have been looked at a little differently than it is today. I shave my head once every 2 weeks because I am vain as hell and starting losing my hair when I turned 18 :roll: . I am a pretty big redneck, and in Law Enforcement so I sometimes catch slack from all sides for it. I say do what you want, if people don't like it, they'll get over it :D

so i guess all military look racist or nazi...
change the poll if ya could, thats just a unnecessary way of opinion about a shaved head..
theres nothing wrong with it (not that im sayin if u had a problem with it)
i find it easier to wear head gear, less time combing or cost on hair products.
like ur example sayin "for the hot summers" that is very true. ur head feels much lighter and more cooler (temperature)
i shave my head once in a while to grow and fix a new set of spiky hair.
and people will barely notice if u decide to grow ur hair again.

I used to shave my head every day. I liked not having to mess with the hair. I even wore out the guard on my razor once. :shock:
I say, if you like it do it.

The poll was to show a theoetical negitive emotional attitude towards shaved heads. In no way is it meant to be actually indicitive.

I'd say also it depends on what you look like and your body type.
Thin and Wirey - Cancer Victim
Thin and Muscular - Military or Nazi (depending on Tattoo content :wink: )
Heavy - Biker or Football player (maybe Cop).
Nothing wrong with a shiney dome :D
Still looks better than a comb over or Patrick Stewart hair (unless you're Patrick Stewart that is :wink: )

I think its more based on perception. Like what cloths you wear add to it.
There is the stone cold or cruce willis look that i dont think people think are nazi`s. But clothing i think makes people pressume more than hair styles usually.

Hey now.. Some of the best looking men have shaved heads. Chris Daughtry, Bill Goldberg, Steve Austin, Vin Diesel, Billy Zane. Those are all I can think of atm. Yea, the tan would be nice too so that you don't glow in the dark.. LOL

I normally let my hair grow to hell. I don't comb it much and it looks like a mess. In my opinion I look bad with any hair type. Recently I cut it, looks okay in my opinion, nice and short. But I think it just might get shorter this summer :2thumbs:
I say go for it.
