Should I shave my scalp?

Should I shave my scalp?





Most of it will grow back, right?

I would keep the beard.

You should shave half your scalp, to see if you like it.
If it turns out you don't like it, you'll only have half as much hair to grow back

Uriel

No

It doesn't look all that bad, I say keep it for a while at around that length.

Mine needs shaved again but mine is much thinner and graying worse.

Raijin Quickfoot

Yes

Shave that shit to the bone

Uriel

No

I think the widows peaks actually suit your face shape and beard situation pretty well.

Also I always have trouble shaping my beard because I shave my head and don't know what to do with the parts that connect to my sideburns. Normally I just kinda level it out in a straight line with part of my inner ear but I get self conscious about how it looks

#pipe

Yes

fuck it, give it a try

you will get to feel the breeze on a perfectly clean, smooth dome

Psykoma

Why are you thinking of shaving it? Concern for balding? Not liking your hair? Just for fun?

DouglasDanger

Larlar

Hm
I do get the barber to buzz my hair pretty short, like a 1/8 inch on top and "no guard" the back and sides fade

Headed to the barber in a few days

Uriel

No

I will say shaving your head for the first time or even the first time in a while always feels weird.

I never bother using an actual blade though. Too much work for not enough benefit. I'm also fat so it's hard to navigate even a cartridge razor around the roll on the back of my head safely...

Quetzi

Yes

Yeah why not

You keep your hair cropped pretty close anyways, so like, it's not as if it will take a while to grow back if you don't like it

I mostly just want to try it, I guess

My hair is thinning, thus the close crop, but I don't think I need to shave it asap

And I like the shaved head and beard look a lot on others

sarukun

Yes

You have a nice head for it, do the thing.

Blake T

Shave the front half only.

Uriel

No

Joke option tonsure

Descendant X

Yes

You have a pretty good look going now but hey, why not?

Go buy yourself a good razor and give it a go.

Veldrin

Yes

Yeah, try it out!

Shaved heads can look cool as hell, and from those shots it looks like you have a good head shape for it.

Evil Multifarious

I have a shaved head and heavy beard, and have for years

The main advantage is being able to do your hair yourself in 5 minutes, since you don't need any fading (though it's nice for the beard/scalp transition). It would look good on you, but so does the close-cropped hair. No reason not to try it if you're curious, IMO

Yeah then I'd say go for it, worse comes to worse if you don't like it you'll be back to your current growth by the end of october, if not september.

IronKnuckle's Ghost

No

I say no, but only because winter is soon. Though you could get yourself a hat. So...sure?

chromdom

Yes

Yes, join the bald brotherhood! Delight in your chromedomedness!
Also, if you are going to do it, do it soon so that you will get past that initial shock and let your skin even out when you can actually see it, before cold weather starts and you have to wear a hat all the time.

Hobnail

Yes

Everyone should shave their scalps

Hobnail

Yes

Id like someone to shave my head with a big knife

Very, very on brand

IronKnuckle's Ghost

No

I'm noticing a trend on which posts Doug hits awesome on. Clearly your mind is made up!

Etchwarts

No

I think it looks good as it is!

Houk

I'm going to get it cut very close with the trimmer on Tuesday, just to make sure I don't have a bumpy or wrinkly scalp

If it looks ok, may go for the razor

#pipe

Yes

If you go for it, watch a couple YouTubes on how to do it.

It's one of those things that I think a couple of simple tricks take it from a bloody, uneven nightmare to simple and painless.

cB557

Yes

When we say shave your scalp, do we mean like shave your hair off your scalp, or like shave your scalp off your skull? If you're thinking of the latter if can definitely be worth it, but only if you're able to afford to get the top of the skull removed as well and the glass dome to put on top of it. Doing it only part of the way is like growing out facial hair but not bothering to groom it.

Wait, but it's super easy, how can someone fuck that up?

Hobnail

Yes

I dunno looks whos the president how do people fuck anything up

BahamutZERO

No

yeah I think it looks super good as-is

MulysaSempronius

No

I don;t think it'd look that great. But it grows back, so whatever you do, it'll work out!

People have different skin/hair types that can make it very irritating. People have different vision/coordination issues that can make getting all the hair very difficult.

Just cause it's easy for you doesn't make it super easy in general.

What about just a number 0? Way less fucking around compared to a razor shave

Ah, yes, the Stranger S-464 look

I have no strong opinion one way or the other.

Except that you look a lot like James Turner, streamer extraordinaire and member of LoadingReadyRun.

A trimmer set to 0 cannot match the sensuality of a clean blade scything down your follicles to the skin

Can anything else ever devised by mankind truly capture the sheer ecstasy of a blade razor sharp, scouring along the surface of your scalp, deftly slicing away the filthy refuse of your hair follicles, under the control of one's own hand?

Yeah that's true, I should have thought of that. My bad.
