Lucky. Mine started at $15 + tip and slowly creeped up to $20 until New Years 2020 when every decent barber seemingly unionized and went to $40/cut.

always had a feeling balding and not having the hormones to grow beard had its benefits

I kinda wish I could test going the full bald shaved head thing… before doing it.

You missed your window. March of 2020 was the perfect time to try something like this.

If you go for a very short buzz you'll have a good idea of your head shape, and whether it'll help or hurt if you go hairless.

I've heard that shaving it is actually a lot of work, so investing in some good clippers and buzzing is likely easier.

Been bald for two years roundabout a decade ago, before and after that having long hair. And oh yes, bald is like 10x more work - at least if you go for bowling-ball-grade of baldness. Never shave when you are in a rush and enter a public transport 5 minutes later.

Yeah I imagine it’s a pretty big process. The skin up there is sensitive and prone to cuts I imagine.

Beware a possible unobvious side effect if you have light coloured hair: my hair colour went darker after getting shaved in my 20s. I regret the colour change, because I liked the old colour more, and it never regressed to the lighter colour. I suspect it was caused by UV sunlight on the follicles or something?
