I did, one time when I was 21. Unfortunately I forgot about the 4 times I had to have my scalp stitched back together. (And the ER Dr.'s didn't seem to concerned about doing a really neat job from the looks of the scars. Probably 'cause they figured it'd be covered with hair.)
The look was more like "Frankenstein" than "cool." |

I don't shave it bald but I cut my own hair with electric trimmers with a #4 guard. I've never been fond of long hair. If I get up in the morning and have to comb it, it's too long. I am going to let it grow out some before going to USMC bootcamp though. I've heard stories about recruits who show up with thier hair very short, it's not pretty.

Cypher214:
You're right. You don't want to stand out in any way at boot camp. Try to get the most middle of the road haircut you can a few days before you ship. Guys with shaved heads or crew cuts get extra attention, as do guys with long hair. Wear a pair of blue jeans, a belt, a collared shirt and good, barely-broken-in running shoes. If things still work the way they did when I went through, they will let you keep the running shoes for PT if they are not crazy looking or some kind of cross training shoes. Be the invisible man. Be the man your Drill Instructors can't remember the name of in Second Phase, unless you're the guy who does 22 perfect deadhang pull-ups on the IST. If you want any other information, e-mail me. Otherwise, good luck and Godspeed! |

I don't actually shave my head with a raczor, but I do cut it all the way down with the electric trimmers with no attachments...
Very comfortable, and no maintenance... I've got a perfect skull [:D] Wife says the shaved head & thick gotee makes me look MEAN [pissed] |

I used to shave it clean, but that got to be as much trouble as having hair. It would itch when it started to grow back. I would also get a few bumps that would not go away unless I let it grow out.
Now I just cut it with a beard trimmer. It cuts closer than electric clippers. I miss the smooth shave though. |

The bottoms of his feet? 1941 Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour draws USA into WWII. The Willys General Purpose vehicle, or GP (to be known as the "jeep") is introduced by Bantam Car Co.

I'm going on 8 years with a shaved head. Used my mach 3 several times, but usually just take the hair clippers without any attachments. The bonus is, when freshly shaven, a lot of women like to rub it.

The MACH3 is THE way to go! Been doing the shaed head deal about two years now. I have a few observations;
Once at the Minneapolis Airport a nice little blue haired old lady took me y the hand and started to tell me "what a great job I was doing" ! Thought I was Gov. Jesse Ventura!! COOL ! Another time in NYC I was approached two different times in one day and asked if I was G. Gordon Liddy !!!! VERY Cool! As a full time LEO I found that many people think your a hard ass or are even afraid of you with the bald look. I found that a bit upsettling so now I'm careful to flash a smile when dealing with decent folks but could care less about the scummers. I like the shaved head look plus half of mine is gone anyway. Is very cool in the summer, but a bitch here in MT during the winter! FN |

Shaved Head? Your nuts! :-) I'm 34 and just lost my widows peak about 2 years ago, otherwise my hairline is 1.5 inches from my eyes, and likely to stay that way.
All you bald ass extra testosterone guys can shave your [b]already[/b] bald head until the cows come home : it's just a way to give up and say your still good looking (lobotomy-wise). HAR HAR HAR...they should call this thread the "whining balding guys who don't want to do HCFM". |

Another vote for the Mach 3, and Edge gel is an added bonus!
Slick that bad boy off twice a week, and PRAY you don't lay yourself open! cuz NOTHING looks worse than a big Ol' scab on your melon! Winter ain't too bad at all, but you GOTTA watch how much sun you get in the summer! A sunburnt scalp hurts like a !#*&*&$$$(*$%@#_!!!!!!! Anyone other Shavers grow a beard to offset the baldness??? (and no, I don't shave by force, just by choice) |

23 years old and I have been shaving my for about 2 1/2 years. I shave about every two days sometimes I wait longer. I use a Mach 3 razor also or I will use the throw away razors every now and then just to save a little extra money. The girls like it especially when I'm in uniform.

I shave mine once or twice a week, shave my face daily. I don't have much on top anyway, and it looks a heck of a lot better than the "donut." My wife likes it, so it's fine by me. I use a straight razor, It's really a great shave if you're careful. Saves $$$ too, I spent $80 on a good sologen blade 8 years ago, and haven't spent a penny on razors since. Hot lather with a mug and brush is nice too.

Quoted: HCFM? Explain. Hair Club For Men Ozzie's got some issues... his old lady probably left him for a bald guy and now he's bitter. Genetics dictated that I'd be bald, so now I shave regularly. I like it 'cuz it's about as maintanance free as you're gonna get. Sometimes I miss my hair, but not enough to blow $15,000 on transplant surgery. That's better spent on an M16 and an assload of ammo! |

I probably have more hair on my back then you have on your chest. ;-) Once they make a 1.5 foot long disposable razor handle I might work on it. Gunbert writes... Ozzie's got some issues... his old lady probably left him for a bald guy and now he's bitter. Nope, but thanks for playing; just razzing the (apparently sensitive) hairless apes. My wife likes my full head of hair, and I bet your old lady would too if you had one. (Hair or the old lady, pick one). |

within two weeks of meeting my now wife, she got after me with the clippers, six years now, no-guard all over twice a week and while shaving my face in the mornings, I just run the razor over the top of my noggin.
