I'm with you on that. My hairline started receding when I was about 20 years old (for my dad it was even earlier), and at 27 I gave up after Rogaine, finasteride, dutasteride, etc. all failed, and started shaving it all off. That was more than 15 years ago, and I really haven't minded not having to ever pay for a haircut, or deal with washing or drying my hair (or paying for shampoo), or having a bad hair day, or just dealing with bed hair and cowlicks and everything in the morning. I'm lucky, though, that I have a pretty symmetrical, normal-shaped head with no weird lumps or anything.

But every now and then I do miss having hair. If this drug does bear fruit (er, hair), I suppose I could give it a go, but (assuming it works) still go back to shaving if I get tired of it. I guess it would just be nice to have the option!

(It's also a little funny/wild to me that most of my friends, as well as my wife, have never seen me with hair.)
