Once a month my wife pulls out the Norelco clippers and a # 1 attachment and buzzes me good. All year round too. During the winter months, I wear a toboggan (sp?) and a light hat in the summer. Better than having to pay for a haircut. Although, I am married, haven't I paid enough?

I have to shave mine every other day. Like has been stated, living in AZ is bad for exposed skin, but you put a little SPF up there and it is great. I love the fact that I can NEVER have a bad hair day, because I do not have any hair.

In the summer I get it shaved and let it grow afew inches in the winter. I'm getting sick of having to gel it up, so I'm about to shave it.

I'm thinning on top, so the only way I can hide it is by clipping it with a #1 every 2 or 3 weeks.

I tried bicking it once. Didn't like it. Hats didn't stay on that first day. Then hats didn't come off (velcro action).

Had to grow it out for 6 months before my wedding to look "respectable" and I wanted the pictures to show I had some hair. But when I got back from our honeymoon, I took the clippers to it the minute I got home.

Keeping it short is the way to go for me. Saves me money on hair cuts and hair product.

I had to do the same thing!

My wife (fiance at the time) also asked my best man if he would let the green dye wash/grow out of his hair before the wedding.

He did and now shaves his head too.

Never doing that again!

Pony tail to my shoulder blades, long hair rules. When women look around at all the buzz cuts they like seeing good, clean long hair.

After having sort of long hair (though not close to Fabio) I shaved myself bald in the middle of a New England winter. It gave me such a bad headache to go outside I had to wear mega hats.

I wear mine 1/2 on the top, 1/4 or almost shaved on the sides.

You have hair to keep your head warm - the parts that don't work anymore don't need it.

Think about it....
