28 years old and decided to take the dive in going bald. Have to admit it was frightening as I was going into this new transition. After I finished I felt a huge weight off my chest. It felt so good embracing the new look, and I don't regret it.

Same I am 28 and I just started shaving mine. It was on my mind for a while and I was looking forward to it. Just decided to do it one day. Its definitely something you do not plan for you just have to join the gang! Bald is beautiful! Bald gang

So I'm only 19 and have consistently been shaving my head completely bald for roughly half a year or longer. I started noticing that my hair was receding when I was like 17 and that took a pretty big toll on me considering I had medium length hair and put a lot of effort into trying to style it, which overtime just led to a weird com over type thing as my hair loss progressed over the last couple of years. I turn 20 next month and I'm really glad I decided to start shaving my head completely because I definitely didn't want to be one of those guys that clings onto the hair on the sides of their head or use a hairpiece. I'm way more confident now than I ever was. Thank you for this video as I believe it will help a lot of guys out when going through similar things.

Gets easier as you get older. To be honest, if you look good with a shaved head it is not even an issue. One good thing is you never have to think about how your hair looks.

Can I just say that, as a new bald head shaver, this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. You’re straightforward, compassionate approach to giving this advice is fantastic. Keep it up!

The last part of this video is truly inspiring. “... an opportunity to take a look within yourself ...” Wise words. Really appreciate you making this video. I’ve been shaving my head for 5 years now and have just begun trying to use blade (hate the bumps from using a clipper). Hopefully my first blade-shave goes well. Thanks again! 😆

i shaved my head bald september 30 of 2022 due to trich and i have a lot of videos about my journey on my channel. best decision ever, i'm so glad i did it. it was liberating and empowering. life changing.

Two minutes of knowledgeable instruction and four and a half minutes of great presentation and inspiration. I liked!

The insight and wisdom you just laid out for me, wow. Was not expecting that! Thank you so much man

Thanks dude, I've been struggling to accept hair loss at the age of 24. This video really helped me look at it positively going forward

Great video man and amazing impactful message at the end. We all really appreciate it 👍

Hey man, just wanted to say your encouragement and empowering in this video is insane. Your a legend thanks again brother

Came here cause I knew I was destined for baldness eventually. I’m turning 20 in June and was considering just doing this to experiment. But what did I get? A valuable life lesson along with the tips I was looking for. Thank you, you’re a great man 👑

Followed this advice today and one of your other vids before I braved it. Spot on, thank you 👍🪒

Your advice to people on hair loss is such a positive thing that I think even full haired people might go the way of baldness. Personally, I both shave and buzz cut depending on mood. My main issue is that I have bumps and cherry angiomas to deal with which leads to cuts here and there. And it doesn't matter whether I use a double bladed disposable shaver like BIC or an old fashioned double edged safety razor. And of course, once you have a few nicks then it's easy to recut those same spots. But most of the time it's all right.

Dealing with cancer at 22 years old is definitely scary, but I appreciate what you said at the end of the video. Thank you for the help

What I like about your channel Ricky, is that you are not only giving some tips on safe head shaving, but that you're also focusing on mental health. I can relate to the stories you've told. Keep up the great job you're doing!

I'm genetically bald (M shape) inherited from my father. Front hairline was tall since primary, but it just gets super obvious now I'm in my 27. It bothers me because my long hair just doesn't work well with wind and I find myself always trying to perming my hair curly to create volume and wearing a cap to hide the front baldness. Can't even enjoy the wind when I go cycling. I have now decided to go buzz cut first. And eventually find my way towards embracing full bald shave. Thanks for the words toward the end of the video, they were really helpful 💪

Great tips Ricky!

Wow, you are super cool. I’m not balding but this is something to think about ❤️

Maybe it's because I was used to get getting buzzcuts my entire life, but making the jump to full-on bald actually wasn't that scary for me, thankfully. What I definitely agree with you on, and what I want other guys who aren't having as easy a time as I did to know, is that you'll find out....you actually don't look half bad with it all off or, even better, you look *better* than you did with your hair. Even though mine would never grow very long, I always felt kinda dorky with it at a certain length, especially before I grew my beard (which, unfortunately, being almost 23, has yet to attain your level of gloriousness). But now? Damn, shave my head down and with the facial hair I've got....even *I* have to admit I look good, and I have self-esteem problems besides. Appreciate the vid, broski, and especially that you just gave advice and not a documentary with a laundry list of expensive "must-have" products.

Excellent video.

Don’t forget to use an astringent after shaving. I personally use witch hazel wipes. This also helps prevent razor bumbs and feels really good on your scalp.

Great video, you have a new subscriber.

One thing I discovered recently to shave just after shower when my scalp is still moisturized...use a 5-head head shaver and then follow up with the good ol 5 or 6 blade shave for a quick smoothening of my dome.

Using CeraVe cream on your head after a shave is amazing. It’s a miracle cream IMO.

This video is so helpful

Thank you, I feel confident now

I'm 64, with a recent cancer diagnosis. About 3 weeks after my first chemotherapy, my hair began falling out in big clumps... I looked like a mangey coyote! So, now I'm rockin' the Telly Savalas look. I have a lot of ink, which I used to conceal because I was a medical professional before retirement. Now I wear sleeveless T's, cargo shorts and Doc Martens, and top it off with RayBan Harbormaster sunglasses. I also lost about 30 lbs due to lack of appetite. I'm 6'4" and 185 lbs today. People who knew me before hardly recognize me today!

Absolutely! If you check out my videos i've actually done a few reviews on different products and also did a video on Buzzing your head with a razor VS Buzzing with an electric shaver which may be of interest :) Will try do more in the future too.

My situation is a bit different. I am balding, have been for a number of years but primarily I want to shave my head because of my dry scalp and my case of dermatitis that I can't shake no matter what shampoo I've tried. I normally shave my head with my trimmer and a 00000 blade which is as close to the skin as possible, only one level above completely bald. I have only shaved my head once with a razor but personally I think shaving makes the most sense in the shower which minimizes cuts, razor bumps, keeping your face or scalp warm makes shaving much easier.

I’m just a 17 year old kid who likes going bald, it’s gonna be like my 4th time around when I do it tomorrow. It’s fun for me, and plus I like how it looks

I’m 28 and be suffering and letting balding stop me form living my life since 23. I’m just now ready to catch up on all the things I been missing out on.

Your absolutely right

And I fell kind of sad because my parent are against me shaving it. But damn if I can look like you Im shaving it. You look fire man. I know os early but i want to try it now
