A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.
"I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum."
The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes the client asks in garbled speech.
"And what if I swallow it?"
"No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."
I shaved my head for a Darth Maul costume for a huge costume contest one Halloween. I came in second place. Not bad considering there were hundreds of entries.
In high school I used to shave my head to 1/4 inch, but one day the adapter comb fell off and I ended up with a 2 inch cut beyond the front scalp line. Like a fool I tried to even it out instead of just shaving it all off. My hairline basically went from ear to ear. My nickname after that was "Lobotomy".
I spent years bald. It was simple, quick, clean, and if I forgot about it for a week or sometimes longer, it didn't matter. I had a HeadBlade, it was pretty sweet. Looked like a racecar and a razor made a baby. Now I'm married, and I have hair. Closely cropped, but it covers up the lumps on my head pretty well!
@mnehme1 I let it grow back! I have a beautiful, thick head of hair, with a barely receding hairline. I've made many men jealous with how gorgeous my locks are when I have hair.
I looked around for a video, but can't find it. David Letterman had Vin Diesel on his show and asked him about the bald head. Vin said "There comes a time in a man's life when he needs to make a choice. And I decided the comb-over was not for me". ...and that's why my hairstyle resembles a cue-ball.
@AnnaB I went through three rounds of chemo, and my hair fell out each time. I wish I had just shaved it off, but I was 10-12 and didn't even think about it. I remember reaching up and pulling (gently) out clumps of hair. You made the right choice.
@primrosewater When the wife went through chemo she planned ahead. (no pun intended) She got a wig that matched her hair color and went to a hair stylist and had her hair and the wig cut and styled to match. When she had her head shaving party with her sisters and a few bottles of wine she started wearing the wig. It was only when she got tired of wearing the wig during Florida's summer heat that people realized she was bald.
This is me a couple years before going into the Navy. (I'm the one with the hair.) It was a lot longer (x3ish longer) when I went to boot camp at Great Mistakes. The barber grinned when he saw me. I was first in the chair. I don't have any uncovered pictures from then. Sorry.
Even though I’m a girl I have shaven temples…It looks like these: http://thehairstyledaily.com/womens-undercut-hairstyle/
I see that many of you don’t really glad you have shaved head?? Strange, I like my haircut sooo much. And I envy men who can shave whole head…
@HenriettaSwang
It’s totally freeing! I had hair down my back in high school, then kept it around my shoulders and just higher when I first went to college, then I just had it all chopped to the chin. I never regretted it. It was so much easier to take care of. Also, I’ve found that short hair always seems to be more flattering on people than long. I found new inspiration http://newaylook.com and I’mgoing to repeat this experience soon!

No, it doesn't have any hair on it.
Oh wait.
I shaved it all off when I was going in for brain surgery, and have kept it closely buzzed ever since. I like showing off my scar, it scary looking.
@conandlibrarian the fact that your username has the word librarian in it makes you liking to show off your scars more interesting in my book.

Well, I decided to cut my own hair once, and, after looking in the mirror, decided it would look better all gone.

@cercopithecoid same thing happened to me but i just went with the shave... "cue ball" was my nickname after that one.

@fuzzmanmatt What did you do to get your hair back? Or do you mean you have hair on the sides?
Sorry for the weird questions.

Biology is doing it for me at an ever increasing rate.
Put on your headphones and listen to this: It's pretty neat!
When my sister's hair fell out during chemotherapy my whole family shaved our heads in sympathy
I've been shaving my head for 10 years now and I'll never go back. I'd make it permanent if I could.
for the most part, nature is doing it for me.
stupid genes.
Got tired of my hair and just shaved it over Thanksgiving one year.
I haven't had a bad hair day since 2004.

If today's sale sells out, I'll shave my head.
@Moose In for three.
Phew...
Shaved every hair off my body before high school swimming city finals. Possibly shaved 0.005 seconds off my already shitty time.
Not since that first day in basic training.
my hair always ends up accidentally dreaded, so I shave it off
I had my head shaved when I started chemotherapy. I didn't want it falling out in clumps. Bald wasn't too bad, just kind of cold at first.

I just shaved my head again this morning for aerodynamics slash because I have trash genes for hair and started losing it at 19
