Am I the only one that likes being bald? Hair maintenance has always been a huge drag for me (yea executive dysfunction!) and when I had it I hated it getting in my eyes. I was balding anyway. Started shaving my whole head at the start of COVID and haven't stopped. I love it.

I have decent genes so decent hair. Albeit with first grey strands. I prefer to keep it rather short. Even when it is not really long it is much more work to wash. Proper short is like running hand with shampoon through once and being done...
Club Happily Bald here. My wife prefers me without hair, and razor blades are significantly cheaper than haircuts. I can't imagine trying to preserve my hair.
I'm just using a trimmer, without any of the "sheets" or whatever in front. Used to do a 10mm trim, now I just do 0mm trim I suppose. Bought a machine maybe 10 years ago, still using the same machine, just needs lube sometimes, and a deep cleaning, otherwise it only costs the electricity! Works for hair anywhere on your body too, so you can get a 7-in-1 machine if you're lucky too! :)
I like a 10mm buzz cut, but it's nice to not have bold spots.
I like it, but then again my hair was never great to begin with. It’s certainly one less thing to think about.
