I started getting thin on top around 27 or so then eventually I just shaved it all off and have been razor shaving for years now but I am thinking of letting it grow in a bit and keeping it at around a number 2 buzz... kind of like the Jason Statham deal. What do you think look would look better ?

    The baldness in your pic looks good as is.

    i don't know what looks better, but i take a pair of clippers and do not use a guard because a) shaving with a razor is more time consuming than clippers and b) shaving with a razor requires more frequent shaving than clippers. I can go about 2 weeks before really needing to use the clippers again.

    I am all about maximizing my laziness, and this works for me.

    If you do wear some kind of beard or facial hair I would say you can go for clean shaved head if you want. Even a 3 day beard like Statham is ok if it is dark/thin enough to be noticeable. If you have clean shaven face tho then better go with number 2 buzz.

    The reason is because aesthetically you need to balance things out. If your whole head including facial hair is clean shaven it just does not look good. Your shaven head will attract people eyes and they will want to stare at it, the top of your shaven head. If there is beard or some kind of facial hair then it will draw people's sight down from top of your head and to your eye level balancing things out. Glasses, tattoos or piercings gets the same effect as facial hair. So if you have clear shaven head and face but don't wanna get beard you might wanna wear noticeable glasses. Or red lips can also do the work, if you are a bold woman, ahaha.

    Just a little perspective from stylistic point of view.

    Shave my head every day when I shower in the morning. Twice a day if I go out at night.

    Wife loves looking down and seeing her reflection on the top of my head.

    my jason statham senses were tingling and brought me to this thread. I feel your pain dude. I too am thinning up top at 28 and have a receding hairline on top of that. DAMN YOU GENETICS! I switch off between a buzz and a shave once in awhile. The shave looks badass when im sporting a full grown out beard ,but leaves my scalp prone to being part of a blood sucking insect feeding frenzy. Shaving it every few days starts to become tedious and thats where the buzz reigns supreme. I take some cheap clippers, throw on the number 1 blade and go to town.

    I love a man with a bald head....although using clippers without guard is ok as well. I agree with adding some facial scruff. That's always HOT! Post pics guys we need some sort of reference!

    Or he's bobbing for clams. Either way, score!

    I'm 5'10". She's 5'3". Figure it out.

    Shave. Shave. Shave. Buzz looks lazy and makes you look like a dirty Q-tip. Shave daily in the shower, adds 5 minutes to your shower time.

    if you are getting dry scalp and such, check out Headblade for all your head shaving needs. I swear by their shave cream and lotions!

    I prefer buzzed to completely smooth. Also, then you only have to do it every 2 weeks.
