My father went bald in the late 70’s before 28yrs old, i feel for all those who went through hair loss before KZbin support like the Baldcafe and before it was okay for men to have and show their feelings. Harry keep up the great work.

[@snakesghost7817]

My dad had severe hairloss during the 60's-70's and I'm curious how he dealt with it during those times when hair was important. I can't ask him because he passed away a long time ago, but what did your dad do during that time period ? Did he wear a toupee ? I'm curious what bald men did back then because when you watch movies or see musicians from that time period, no one is bald.

[@ThatGuy-fx8yc]

Starting balding at 25 years old. I immediately went to the Buzz Cut, zero guard on the clippers and stubble beard. Rocked that look for years. I’m 35 and I’ve been doing a wet shave for over a year. If I got two days without shaving you can clearly see the bald spot on the crown. Keep up the great content!!

[@TheMangoBoi]

Been buzzin my hair with a #1 since i was 20 and i am almost 35 now.So that is 15 years of buzzin every week.I was never bald but loved the feel and showering with it and no drama with products etc.Its intressting to see so many men find it such a huge step.Just do a buzz and you wont ever worry about hairstyles.Wearing caps and beanies in fall winter will b a joy!Waking up and no worry after a nice shower.And mentally it feels like a buddhist monk,no worrys just zen atleast for me it did.Be you,people will see you!Not your hair,but your eyes,the Windows to your soul.Just do it!And if you dont have a hairline shave it all,be fresh and clean!Be brave and be confident!Everyday you will wake up in style and in zen while other worry worry worry.

I'm an older guy of 57 and I sympathize for young guys in their 20's early 30's who experience hair loss. When I was that age it was the 80's-90's and being a musician in those days I had to have hair down to my ass or else. Shaving your head in those days was a NO WAY GONNA HAPPEN thing. Bald Heads didn't even start being "cool" until Michael Jordan made it so. My hair didn't start getting thin until my 40's and I realized and by then It was gonna be ok to buzz it off. I'm also blessed that since I'm old now my hair is gray to almost white so I can just buzz it and not worry about the hair showing my balding pattern because the lightness of the stubble blends in with my skin tone. If I were younger with dark brown black I would definitely wet shave instead. I just want to say, this is a great channel and you're really helping guys with their anxiety. We can still look great with out the hair !

About 20 years ago (I was 52-3 years old) I shaved my head even though I still had a good set of hair. To my surprise, when I went to sleep that evening my head perspired so much that it was not only very uncomfortable but it also left my pillow wet with perspiration. Now, I’m going on 73 and balding from my crown and I am going to buzz my hair to the very shortest possible length. Personally, for me, shaving my head will happen again once that bald spot gets bigger and bigger. Maybe, I can hold on until I’m 80. Ha!!!

Great video! I’ve probably watched it 3 times over the last few months. Probably as a part of some recent decisions I’ve had to make. After doing wet razors for over a year, I’m returning indefinitely to the clippers (zero). The irritation ain’t worth it (despite trying every trick in the book). I’m in my mid 40s, low body fat and fit with a thick beard. It’s clear the hair is going with this buzz cut, so now I call it my “idgaf-wut-u-think-about-me-going-bald-buzz-cut.” Still workshopping a better name, but you get my point. The buzz cut is actually more liberating than a razor shave, but I appreciate both.

I've just looked at pictures of Statham and his hair has receded more over the years, so he currently has the horseshoe shape yet he still buzzes his hair. All he has done is allow his stubble to grow a bit longer and he still looks very presentable. Stanley Tucci and Pep Guardiola do the same. I shave my head every 2 days but am now trying the buzzed head and stubble because of this video.

Also you still have a good amount of hair, i think the long buzz suits you, you look like you could even grow your hair back, mine is the same diffuse thinning

[@waynenoll1967]

A word of advice for all of you young guys; I decided to shave my head in my 30s because of my thinning hair on top and receding hairline. After I got a little sun and my head wasn’t pale white, even the brothers complimented me on it. Many white guys don’t look good with a completely shaved head. My mistake was, not using sunscreen! I would purposely go out without a hat or sunscreen on hot summer days trying to get a tan and ended up with a lot of moles forming. The dermatologist said that they are mostly harmless, just caused by overexposure to the sun, but they don’t look good. So if you’re going to go for it and shave it all off, do yourself a favor and use sunscreen or wear a hat in direct sunlight.

[@Baldcafe]

How many years for that to start happening?

[@LakituKoopa]

thanks for the advice! In my 20s here and started recently shaving my head. Will use sunscreen and hats now, you might have saved my scalp ;)

Came across your channel while watching beard care videos. My story, I buzzed my head for about a month when I first started out. Once I started shaving with razors I loved it and haven't looked back!

[@spotsill]

For me it depends on the weather in the winter I buzz cut because my skin doesn’t get dried out and my head stays a little warmer. In the summer I usually shave because when I sweat my skin stays moisturized and I prefer the clean look. What ever one you choose your life is so much better without the worry and the drugs . The drugs made me severely depressed and I have had to take antidepressants every since .

So I’m going to take the plunge and buzz it. I’ve been getting a very low skin fade. You hardly notice the balding at all when It’s done but I’m ready to embrace it. 27 and I’m owning it. What balding clipper should arrive in a day or two.

[@Baldcafe]

Good stuff man. Keep me posted on how it goes ✊

Did u buzz or completely shave

[@gunsightmtn.1821]

I’ve been buzzing for years but the top is getting thinner and thinner. After watching a couple of your videos and especially this one I’ve decided to go for the wet shave. Thanks dude.

[@flhandster4395]

Good video. So many people say they've "shaved their head" when they've really only just "buzzed it off" with clippers. Quick question. This may be a common thing but not sure, so here goes. Is it normal for your head to feel sorta like numb after initially shaving your head for a period of time (1-2 days or longer)? Please share when your freed up. Thank you.

[@Baldcafe]

I wouldn't say it feels numb but after the initial shave maybe for 24 hours or so It might feel a little sensitive or "strange" since it is an exposed scalp. I think after a long time shaving though the skin does get more used to it.

[@amydecker1853]

Shaving your head with a full head of hair is like using crutches for fun.

[@mlvncgndhn9583]

@@tylerbonser7686 it started when my cousin was diagnosed with prostate cancer. he went for chemo for months and start losing hair.. for him to feel like hes not alone, i decided to shave too.. he recovered and stayed bald and thats the kinda reason why i stayed bald as well.. now. am i being an idiot? i guess i am but i dont care what other say

[@DellaStreet123]

I think the uneven zero all-over buzzcut can be due to the direction of one's hair growth. Just as with facial hair, many people have multi-directional hair growth on their scalp. While you can get the look that is considered "bald" by most people with hair clippers w/o blade guard, with multi-directional hair growth, you will likely get it irregular and clean-shaven is the better look, IMHO. It gets a bit easier with a #1 buzz. If you want a buzz cut that is #2 or longer, you can get it regular easily, even with hair that grows into a myriad of directions. I do use a mirror to check if I missed a spot somewhere, though.

[@ryptoll4801]

I still keep my hair long for now as the thinning doesn't look bad yet. I'm still in the "trying to accept it" phase, but also looking into actual options, etc. Because I wanna be prepared. My hair loss patterns looks very similar to yours, plus high temples. I tried the bald look (completely shaven) about a year ago, but honestly it showed my hair loss even more clearly, than having it long does. Sure, it looks a little flat on top, but not like... as thin as it actually is, lol. I only plan on keeping it long for as long as it still looks good. When it starts looking bad, I'll shave it off. And I think I'd likely go for wet shave, unless I'm too lazy to maintain it smooth so often. Although I do like the smooth look the best! So I might still go for that at least occasionally. Also I've gotta learn how to shave my head with my safety razor, because I'm not about to waste loads of money on cartridge blades again, lmao. Also I'm 31, and started losing my hair at 25, so quite young.

[@JvD1985]

I started shaving my head when I was around 17 (35 now) But I wasnt getting bald that time, just was easy lol. But around my 27th I noticed during shaving that I was really getting bald!! That was a bit of a shocker for me, but luckely I already shaved my head for years so no big deal. Was just a mental thing that was bugging me for a few days

[@GiftedGentleman87]

This is video I've been looking for. All the questions I had, were answered.

[@edwardroid]

For the wet shave I only use shaving cream and the razor....nothing else.

[@ozshomer5118]

BTW, what you said about irritation, iv'e been using headblade for many years, and since moving on to edge extra protection shave gel iv'e got no problems at all, amazing product, no cuts or irritation and really no need to change your blade for a very very long time.

[@WButterTBWButter]

Agree with pretty much everything and some very good points in there! I am a diffuser too, so my hairline is pretty much still there for the most. I also started with the longer buzz and slowly worked my way down to a zero. I recently switched to a foil shaver, because buzzing every 2-3 days is quite annoying since you have to press really hard to get all those hairs with the clipper teeth if they are still shortish. I also wasn't feeling comfortable anymore after like 3 days without a cut. So imo, if you are diffusing and its very light, go for a zero guard buzzcut and if its the hairline thats receding, I'd go for a fade, with like a 1 or 2 on top and a zero on the sides. very easy to learn and do once a week. And even if you mess it up, shave it all and after 10 days you'll get a new chance to do it. For bald spots or major thinning there is only one option and thats the wet razor (or a dry variant).

I tried shaving & just don’t have the knack. Ended up with embarrassing nicks. Feedback from work is they like the buzz a bit grown out. If it gets to the point where they like it, I’m getting antsy about getting it shaved again. I grew it back out to about two inches from shoulders & then shaved it again & got groans. Love your look! Thanks for the vids!

[@DJTXD123]

Definitely buzz for me, i have a sloped forehead and still have a fair bit of hair so i find buzzing looks good, razer works as well though but i find i look a bit too intimidating with the sly look, great video as always!

[@Baldcafe]

I kinda like the intimidation aspect 😆

[@leftyloose8576]

My balding story is kinda different than most. I actually had a very bad acne problem on my scalp that made my hair uneven with bald patches from hair loss. It basically forced me to go bald and I’m ok with it and find it cool and masculine. Because of the medication I’m on for it and the uneven spots I find the buzz better. Until my skin is better and more smooth I’ll buzz it. The shave is my end goal because it can be a very fast everyday option

[@Generic_Username_0331]

I buzz and shave, depends on the day. I always cut myself when I use a safety razor so I try the disposable and they work great but I hate the waste so then I try and buzz my head but it doesn’t feel as good or and tight.

[@Baldcafe]

Pretty much the same predicament as me. I tried the leaf shave the other day. it shows promise but I still had to be really careful with it.

[@Generic_Username_0331]

Baldcafe ok so I gave your review a look at and a few others on KZbin and went ahead of purchased the Leaf Shave and I love it. I’ve shaved my head and neck a couple times with it now and it’s amazing. No bumps no cuts no razor burn around Adam’s apple. Thank you so much for this recommendation! I am using Personna blades and couldn’t be happier!

[@rolandoperez8054]

If using wet razor. Wet and wash your skalp with shampoo and warm water. Rinse well. Then lather up with warm shave cream. Make sure use freshes razor. Not worked out ones. That should take care of any iritation. After rinsing with cold water. Try using after shave lotion. Without alcohol. Hope that helps

[@Huvler.Cole7x]

I’m 33 and from January til now I have lost the majority of the hair on the top my head. I have always had very thin , very blonde almost like platinum/ white hair and for the last 20 years have sported a high n tight and probably the last 13 years of that a razor shave high and tight. With various links on top. I’m currently sporting a high and tight with a #1 on top, I have on occasion wet shaved my head I absolutely love it, and that’s the direction I would like to go with my baldness but my wife who has never seen or felt me with a shaved head is wanting me to keep the buzz cut/high n tight look my problem with this is after couple days or a week the sides grow out to were they look longer than the top. And if I leave the top longer than a number one or number two you can see how thin my hair is and it looks bad. So here’s where I’m at how do I get my wife to embrace the razor shave as a #1 is the shortest my wife will buzz my hair!

[@Baldcafe]

Same as me. I rocked the high and tight in my initial stages of hair loss. You can see it in my "life and death of my hair video" but when it got longer even 2 days after the cut it looked terribly thin in the middle. My advice man, go out get some shave goodies and just wet shave it off one day. tell your wife what you told me, its starting to look untidy which you didn't like and so this is the new style. 👌

[@Huvler.Cole7x]

Baldcafe that’s exactly how my hair is a couple days after it’s cut it looks untidy. I think you hit the nail on the head and I finally figured out that, that’s the thing that bothers me the most about this going bald deal. It’s the fact my hair does not look tidy ,wearing a high and tight I’ve always kept it short and maintained it every week or two week got it cut and tried to keep it looking good I could never stand it when it started to grow out and get poofy it had to be cut ASAP. And now I just feel like it’s untidy all the time except like you said in the first couple days after it’s cut. And I feel like a shaved head is very tidy! Fortunately too I already have some head blade stuff from when I shaved my head and from shaving the sides of my head! Thank you! Just going to have to shave and say surprise,lol

[@Huvler.Cole7x]

[@MIKECHENDERSON1]

Wet razor all the way. For best results I shave twice. Shave my head once then immediately apply more soap and shave for a second time. almost guarantees the best results. Another downside for y'all is it is hard to keep a beanie hat on without any hair/stubble to provide friction. The hat just sits there and does not feel secure at all. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@Baldcafe]

I totally know what you mean. Freshly shaved the hat won't stay on. 1/2 day old stubble the hat won't come off!

[@shadowthahedgehog33]

Your not alone I dry shave and wet shave and I find my beanie's just don't fit right but when my hair starts to grow back no problems.

[@HankHenri]

I have been shaving my head since Covid using an electric shaver. My first and second shaver had the foil wear out causing cuts. Replacement blades are in the $70 to $80 dollar range. That is why I opted for a new shaver. I just tried wet shaving. I used a three blade razor. The head came out smooth with only one nick over a red type mole. I would like to know your thoughts about electric shavers versus wet razors.

[@charliebrouun6510]

Man, I have the exact same pattern you have. The problem is I'm only 21, but from last summer until now all my hair just fell. I'm really having a bad time deciding to just shave it all, but I don't want to look like my grandpa... not for at least 30 more years... *sigh* it's just hair, isn't it? shouldn't be so difficult..

[@ActinideOfficial]

You will look less like a grandpa after you shave tbh. I started balding at 18 and at 21 i decided to just shave it off. I felt so much more free that i don't have to worry if my bald spots are showing. It does make you look a bit older but in a manly way, not like a grandpa haha.

[@b.o2221]

For younger guys its better to be bald rather than balding. You wont look like a grandpa trust me. Hit the solarium, grow a nice beard if you can, wear some nice glasses..just embrace it

[@Baldcafe]

Exactly man. It is just hair. Its hard to just let go. Even iI was hesitant at first about the razor shave. Thing is if you try to hold onto it you are going to end up looking and feeling much more grandpa like. Go for it man. Ive never had anyone tell me they regretted it.

[@MrBennett1942]

I'm 21 and I started shaving my head bald when I was 19. If it makes you feel self conscious, just shave it man!! It's so freeing.

[@marcfay7462]

I am 25 and I have been slowing balding for a couple years now. I finally decided to go from a 1 clipper length to a razor shave. I love it! I feel like I have so much more self esteem and I look younger somehow.

[@noelaguirre7104]
