When I started my new job last Dec, I was given a series of names by my fellow employees...(such nice guys)
Dr. Evil
Mr. Clean
Telly Savalas
Skin headed racist

Good thing I can laugh at all of it including at myself.

That wasn't rap...not sure what to classify it as Hip-Hop maybe, but there is some actual singing in there.

Back to the OP's question..

I first shaved my head in order to honor my mom who was battling breast cancer and lost her hair during chemo treatments. After nearly a year of treatments and when her hair started growing back, I had just gotten too used to shaving it every other day, so I just continued. Now (three years later), I finally got sick of shaving and going through razors like crazy so I just keep it extremely short using a Oster Shaver with a number 0 blade on it.

Use clippers and leave just a shadow, if not my hair takes over in a matter of weeks it looks like a sheeps butt, I hate my hair, naturaly curl mess.

When I started losing my hair after my second chemo treatment I had it buzzed at the barber and went home and hit it with an electric shaver.

After the electric shaver it felt weird so I went ahead and hit it with the manual razor.

Didn't knick myself but made my head feel kind of raw so I went ahead and stuck with the electric shave for the rest of my "hair withdrawal" time.

Some people loved the look on me, my wife loves my hair and she bawled her eyes out when we went to get the initial shave. I think the weight of the situation finally hit her at that point.

As my treatments went on over the next 5-7 months and I gained weight I felt like I started resembling uncle fester because I wasn't getting any sun anymore. (doc put me on big steroid cycles and told me to eat every 2 hours so I did, regardless of appetite, I decided I wasn't keen on a blood transfusion. I'm the only person I know who actually gained 45 pounds going through intense chemo)

Just because it was so traumatic for my wife, I probably won't shave my head again unless I wind up going bald, which I don't think will happen no one in my family really gone bald, including my Grandfather who is 70 years old with a full head of hair.

I buzz it with hair clippers and no attachment. I try to do it every 2 to 4 weeks. At 4 weeks though, it's pretty long for me and I want it gone.

I shaved my head completely once when I was in high school, it grew back too quick then though. Maybe I can get an electric one day and try it again.

True story. When I was in high school back in the 80s, I always wanted to grow my hair long like the headbangers, but my parents were strict with a NO. When I graduated, I didn't get another haircut for two years. Man, you talk about helping to pick up chicks!!! Then, when in college, my roommate and I went to the bars and hooked up with some babes one night, and when we went back to their apartment, they asked if they could cut it off for locks of love. I had no idea what that was at the time, and respectfully declined. Then they ponied up $50 cash, and already nearly a case of beer under, I said OK. I went from hair down my back, to nothing in a matter of about 20 minutes. It felt like I lost about 50 lbs too. I quickly got used to the no conditioner, blow drying crap (go ahead and laugh now) and it has been this way almost ever since. I let it grow back one time in the middle 90s, and wore it piled high like Elvis for a few years while I worked at a bank. Needless to say, it helped me score with about every willing female teller too. (I actually was reprimanded by the bank president for being too obvious about my exploits. They said I was unbecoming of a bank employee to sleep with the employees. LOL. I think they were just jealous.

With that said, I use Wahl clippers about once a week, no guard, and I have never once used a blade to clean it all off. I like the shadow look. And yes, at 40, I have a receding hairline, and grey hair is setting in. By shaving it, it keeps me looking 20 years younger, and one bottle of shampoo lasts me nearly a year.

I might add that I think only larger guys can pull it off well. Little scrawny dudes who shave their heads usually end up looking like Cambodian poster children.
