    Number 1 is safer to go, but just do a zero guard on friday and by the time its monday it will be around a #1, so u can both have your way and please others

    Nick Shell, this is no joke, but I greatly admire the fact that you are willing to try and experiment with a different type of look. Your choices have all been most interesting and I bet you had some fun with the experimentation. You come across as warm, kind, congenial, and most articulate. A solid Family Man of which there are few and far between. Last year, you inspired me to shave my head totally bald. I grew back my hair but someday I just might for the BALD again! Thanks!

    I'm all about the zero guard with stubble. I don't like being clean shaven at all, which is why I don't shave my head. While I was balding I just buzzed down to a three or four and gradually went lower so there wasn't a big drastic difference. Once I went for the zero guard I thought "why didn't I just go for this from day one?"

    Im 44 with thinning hair on top. I've been doing 5 on top and 1.5 on sides. Last week I just did a one all over and I loved it with very heavy stubble . Then I took the heavy stubble down to a zero and I looked too washed out. Just like you explained. You do need a weeks or 2 of stubble to pull it off. Totally agree. Not tried the zero yet! Just getting used to the 1 . Thanks man

    So zero guard won’t burn your scalp? I just replaced an old pair that had a very short #1 and loved it but it died. The new one has a number one guard that doesn’t shave as close and I might take it back. Thanks buddy. Subbed & liked. ✌🏽

    I think the best thing about 0 guard for me would be being able to see if what my dermatologist prescribed me which was a topical solution (Clobetasol) and Nizoral shampoo for my hair loss works. Right now I can't tell if it working or not. I have possible high tsh getting tested again to make sure. So yea I've gone zero guard before during quarantine and it looked okay i like it compared to 1

    Thanks! This is the first vid I have watched about a zero guard, trying to decide if I should stick with the number one but I think you convinced me. As a lady with no stubble who is not concerned about the perception of others, what really stuck out to me was that it'll feel less fuzzy and show the hairline less frequently. I'm really into not doing my hair more freq than I have to so I appreciate you including those aspects. It's kind of an obvious thing, that cutting it shorter would do that, but hearing it from you helps counter the negatives of a zero guard that I've heard from others.

The tip about the beard I think is a good one, I do not have that tick beard, but when it is short short it is ok I think. I do have your color of skin and eye browns so I like your tips. Havent tought about it but notised that it looks nice when it is a balance to it, thanks.
