Sympathisch Nicht as you said once man maybe starts balding. Just imagine in 20-30years each of his friends start balding and they will be sad about it, but he, he will be confident because he has shaved head for years.

Ive been shaving my head for 30 yrs every other day, and must point out this guy has got it spot on even with the gillette fusion razor (the best a man can get) Well done dude.

It's kinda traumatizing losing your hair. My gf doesn't realize that. I went from having this flowing golden mane to what resembled a dying forest. My moment when I finally decided to start shaving was at a convenience store, I looked up at they're security camera feed (which was facing the cashier" and saw a guy and thought to myself " I'm thinning out but at least I'm not as bad off as that guy" and as you can guess that guy was me.

i agree with you it is traumatizing, i started losing my hair young at the age of 19. i had long dreadlocks i had been growing for 5 years. i went to my loctician to get my hair retwisted and he told me my locs were thinning. over the course of about three months i started to notice my hair was thinning in a U pattern so i immediately cut them off thinking that my locs were the problem. to make a long story short it was good ol' male pattern baldness my dads bald, grandfather and a lot of other men in my famly.

I can feel you. I used to have such a thick and long hair myself that majority of woman would've been jealous of. At it's prime it was super thick and it was so long that it reached past my lower back and I'm a tall guy at 190 cm. And then like 4 or 5 years ago it started happening and yesterday was the day I finally decided to shave it all off instead of trying to hide my huge bald spot, although it was still possible due to my still rather long hair. I think it was the best decision I have done in a long time and while I'd still prefer to have my thick hair, which was a huge part of being me, I think it's a lot better to shave it all off than try to desperately hide it. And I'm positively surprised how good my bald head looks. It's just gonna take some time to get used to it after having a long hair for more than 12 years. And all this tips for shaving are more than welcome so here I am watching them :)

Yeah thats really the best thing to do when you notice your balding. I shaved my head as soon as i noticed it was male pattern baldness, and now it doesn't bother me. I think what bothered me the most was thinking that i wouldn't be attractive anymore, but surprisingly i have no problem with women and i still get compimented the same as i did when i had hair. So at the end of the day its better to just accept the way you look and not put too much thought into how other people see you, because really its not a big deal and being bald is actually pretty common.

Excellent video, Joseph. Thanks for taking time to share it. I'm considering going with a shaved head (my hair was pretty much gone, in the same way you described yours, so I went with the über-short buzz a few months ago), but so far I've been content just keeping it "buzzed". I've had a couple of "chrome dome" friends who warned me about razor nicks and burns, but your video is very informative, and makes me think this might be do-able in the near future. It looks great on you. Thanks again.

To all, thank you for watching my video. I wanted to inform you that I have been gathering ideas over the past few years and will be posting new videos in the not so distant future. If you have any ideas Please post them or message me and they will be taken into consideration. Thanks again!

+RobertsDigital Do not use cheap, disposable razors. Something like a Mach III should be used. After clipping the hair short, take a shower to wash off the bits of tiny hair and moisturize the skin. Use a decent shaving cream, preferably one with aloe. Take short strokes and rinse off the blade to unclog it from blobs of hair that stick in between the blades.

Joseph, think about possibility of being a professional actor: your relationship with the videocamera is so natural and self-confident, you are not only a handsome guy, but also incredibly photogenic! Even your voice is deeply warm and charming. Head shaving is just one of a thousand subjects you can speak about to make us feel pleasantly lost in the magical sea of your words. Your bald look is PERFECT: I would not add a hair on your head! I wish you all the best...and to see you with more YouT

I've been trying to get up the nerve to shave my head--I don't have any thinning on top but have some recessions...love the look. You're an inspiration.

For the couple of questions about how to dry a razor, here's a quick tip I got years ago from a well known stylist. Corrosion requires bacteria and moisture. Fill a small spray bottle with simple alcohol. Rinse the blades really well, shake off the water, then spray the blades with a pump or two of alcohol and let it dry. The alcohol kills all bacteria, then evaporates which completely dries the blades. I get way over a month out of any quality cartridge, sometimes as much as 2 full months.

You're very confident, and that has been the hardest part for me. Losing my hair killed all my self esteem - I'm going to try this method!

+t lars same I just shaved my head for the first time tonight and it's totally different!

Ok. This is for those with bumps and scrapes and painful shaving. Only because everyone needs different shaving methods. First, I don't shave in the shower, I waste too much water. Fill the sink with hot water and shave after you shower. While the sink fills, add a little oil to your dirty dome. I like to use a badger brush to really lather up my shaving soap. As for the razor, 5 blades is incredibly expensive and wasteful. Use a good old fashion double edge safety razor. It's about 10 cents a blade and the single blades are better for people who get bumps and burns from shaving. Shave with the direction of your hair, then across it, then against if you feel you must go that far. Use a little tension by tightening your skin using your free hand. After you're done, rinse with cold water. Finish off with an alum block for nicks and a little aftershave lotion. I know all this sounds long, but it really takes about 10 minutes and makes my head much happier than what I just watched.

Shaved heads are way better than crowns!!!

Good vid. Some guys look really young and good with completely bald heads..you're one of them!

Wow dude, you're fast. Takes me about 20 minutes. I'll try out your method tonight. Thanks!

Been buzzing for awhile. Last night someone told me "Just shave it." So today I did. Lucky I ended u having a good head shape. Thanks for the vid as I was unsure where to start and whether or not to go against grain or not haha. Lucky I didn't cut my head.

I mean, I love your smooth shaved head...and you're handsome! It really suits you

Im 18 and already balding so i shaved my hair off. After the first day i realized it grows back SUPER quick so i had to find a good way to shave in the morning before class. Thanks for the info!

One of the very best videos I've seen on youtube on head shaving. The advice was good and you looked like an expert judging by the way and speed you were doing this. I was pretty terrified of shaving my head but went for it. It's cool, you feel fresher and younger and it's much better than having a head full (!) of thinning hair. Nice one...

I buzzed my head last month after going bald for three years. This past weekend I took a razor and shaved it. Looks and feels great.

Thanks for the awesome vid! I'm 24 and my hair is starting to get pretty thin. I'm planning on shaving it within the next couple of weeks, now I know how to go about it!

Let's say forces are wearing thinner, and the general thinks he can make it. But is actually fighting a losing battle and should go into full retreat. Your vid gave me a lot of pointer to look out for, thank you :)

i used a regular cartridge razor the first time i shaved my head. I still have all my hair though and it's really thick and wiry so it really cut me up even just doing with the grain and left bumps everywhere. I found a safety razor with astra superior platinum blades and headslick shaving gel to be the only way to go for me. With the headslick you can just keep respreading it wherever you need it unlike cream and lets you go over the same spots over and over if you need to without causing irritation. I've been doing it everyday for about 4 months now. works great.

Thank you for the video. I followed your technique and I got a flawless shave. Cheers!

It takes me a while to shave my head. I use Barbasol and a 3 blade cartridge. I am getting ready to go back to the Head Blade. I really like it. For me it is a lot faster than using a safety razor.

I just did it for the first time a couple of hours ago; it's not that hard just run your hand on your head as the other hand that is shaving follows it! I found out that this works for me especially when I try to get the back of my head!

All I have to say is thanks Man because of you now I have the proper way to do it right the first time and I think I did s very good job

i just did it for the first time (3 knives gillette) AND DID NOT CUT MYSELF ONCE :DD Im a genius ! :DDD

@TheEsotericDesi You know at first (two months or so) no matter what I did, I would find a way to nick my head and bleed like there was no tomorrow. Shaving your head is a lot like shaving your face in that with time your skin adjust to the irritation of the razor blades. I use the Gillette Fusion razor with the Head Blade shaving cream. Make sure when you do shave, to take it slow and dont apply too much pressure. When you get comfortable with it you can speed it up.

GREAT VIDEO! I notice when I take a a Hot Shower and and come out in front of the mirror it makes it so much easier, fast and smooth!!

From my experience the "green bar" assist in the initial shaving but will wear out within a few days, making the user think that it is time to replace the blade. This is not the case. With proper care you should be able to use your razor for about 2-4 weeks. I normally can make my blades last for about a month or so before they start to irritate my skin. I use the Gillette Fusion, which is the five bladed system and it seems to work for me. Although it is not cheap, you pay for what you get.

Thanks for the advice. My fraternity brothers thought buzzing my head and carving pictures into my hair would be funny while I was passed out last night. Perfect timing too, I have a theses to present in 4 hours haha

Recently realized my hair is falling out at the top really fast. This helped me out. Thanks.

I know what you mean about hair thinning in spots. My first head shave was in a barber shop and the barber remarked, "This is swimming with the tide, but a little bit faster." I find that gel shaving cream that comes in a tube instead of aerosol works even smoother -- my hair is really coarse and needs softening.

Thanks. I've had it done by my wife many times but I wanted to do it myself. This helped.

Excellent full demonstration. Thank you.

No homo you look good bald bro!

I only use a Two blade razor. but it is very flexible and conforms to my head to to avoid dragging a flat razor over a corner. I do it the exact same way as you. Takes only a couple of minutes. Plus my fiance is a Massage Therapist/Reflexology/acupressure and she says massaging a Bald head is the best part of her job. needless to say I shave often.

Thanks for you answer. I bought the Fusion just a week ago. I'm going to try your advice and give report in one year ;-)

Haha! Nice vid, dude. At 49 years of age, I had reached the point that I was kidding myself. I had always had hair down to my waist and wore a gorgeous pony tail that made me look like a stallion. But over the past few years...the pony tail had gotten shorter and the top of the head had thinned to the point of looking pathetic. About 3 months ago I laid the razor to it and I've been happier ever since. I love not having to deal with all of that damned hair!!

Same with me bro, started when I was about 20. It wasn't really noticeable until I turned about 22, by that point it became harder and harder to conceal. Now, two months from turning 24, I've decided I am letting it grow out one last time before going under the blade for good.

I've thinned out a lot on top and considering shaving it. There are too many men putting all sorts of products in their hair making it look greasy and looks worse if thinned out. I see bald men all the time and they look really clean and fresh. Nice and tidy.

Thank you very much sir, you saved me a lot trouble.

@davidharry yes use gillette fusion hydro gel its the provide best lubrication for your head in my opinion, been shaving for 2 years, as for razor any good 3 blader will do make sure as your shaving to use your other hand to feel for any missed spots to get it all smooth, then moisturizer NOT aftershave finally take a shower and exfoliate your head it scrub it lightly with some sort of scrubbing implement or you'll get lots of flakes eeww, then pat dry after shower and check out slybaldguys

I shave my head sometimes when i get bored to my hairstyle, but what i recommend is to shave with the grain and dont put any pressure on the blade.

Rocking the bald look man! Congrats!

Great video! I'm a fan of the Fusion 5 blade razor as well for my head. The back of my neck is the worst for me, and like you, behind my ears! I live in Japan, and there are AMAZING barbers here (tokoya-san) that do the straight blade razor, its a treat I do once in a while, with the hot towels and all the great Japanese type massage in the mean time! If you're hear, or see of a Japanese barber, you should check it out, its WELL worth it! Thanks again!

Thanks man. I've been holding on to my hair as I have an honestly freakishly huge head. I used to have a beautiful tight hairline which was confirmed by looking at older photos; which have confirmed my intention to just shave all of. I was never a beautiful man, considering my giantly misshapen head , even though I attracted ladies occasionally, whom a truthfully shouldn't. Anyway, you encouraged me to do this, to which I owe you a thanks. Love from Sweden.

Appreciate it man! Def made it a whole less stressful.

You're a good looking man.

Thanks man! I just got into the shavedheads fellowsip!

@garysquirrelreviews I would only put moisturizer on your head if it is dry. I recommend the HEAD LUBE MATTE LOTION. It leaves your grape moist and soft yet not all shiny and greasy. Thanks for viewing!!!

NC403Firefighter, Sunblock or a hat is a must if you have an exposed dome. You will notice older men, or guys that spend a lot of time in the sun will develop sun spots or freckles on the places they lack hair. So guess a good thing to go by, if you are in the sun for more than 10 minutes then go ahead and apply some good SPF containing UVA and UVB protection. Hope this helps, and good shaving!

Flawless presentation and informative. thanks!

Thanks! I used to cut my head off every other time but now I know better!

OMG!!! My story is just the same. my barber pointed it out to me in 02. now i shave my head and face every morning. However i don't suggest 5 blades. 2 many razors on the skin. I prefer Schick Xtreme, 3 blades. it curves to the head and face.

@chaucer555 The way to get up the nerver is to cut shorter and shorter. If you have hair on top then clippers at a few mm will probably give you a nice cut.

Good job I need to get practice more so I can finish in a timely fashion like you the main key is selecting a good razor anyone have any suggestions feel free to share

I am not a fan of the old style Head Blade (w/two blades), but hear they have a new system coming out in September with four blades. They are sending me one, and I plan posting a video of me using it when it arrives. Check back in a month or so and I might change my mind.

What a great vid man. Thanks that helps a bunch.

Great vid!! Im just about approaching the razoring stage. Ive slowly gone down the blades from 3 to 0 over the last 2 years... My old man is the same, he always razors his head, and tells me i should too.

Thanks man! I've been rocking the bald look for a few months now but normally go to the barber and let them do it. Wanted to try myself (SAVE SOME MULLAH!). I'll be attempting when I get home! Wish me luck lol
