Exactly! I don't even use a mirror except to see if my face has dirt on it haha. I comb my hair with a washcloth.

I still require a mirror to make sure my manly abundance of facial hair is properly aligned. If I don't hit my chin fleece with a comb it's prone to go in all directions, and don't nobody want to see that.

Those Andis trimmers are super high quality.

I recently bought one of their lower end models, sub $40 and it's blown away any Wahl or Remington I've used. What's more, there were a bunch of black dudes hair styles all over the box so I felt cool buying it lol.

I lost the majority of my hair by 21, and all by 24 to have the infamous horseshoe. At 5'6", that is not a good thing, at least in my eyes back then. At 36, I don't think about it.

There are pros and cons to losing one's hair. I do wear more hats due to the extremes of the weather.

I tried Rogaine once, and said no more. Too costly and messy. I have never seen one implant of a rug that doesn't look fake to some degree. When I asked women if I should get a rug implant, easily 90% said no.

My ex wife loved that I was bald, so does my current squeeze with the latter having been told by her aunt, who is an ex madame from NYC, that bald men make the best lovers. With that much experience behind such a bold statement, I'll just leave it at that.

Let the hair go IMHO; save your money to keep doing upgrades to your 3rd Gen.

I can afford to trim off 4-6" and you can just implant it...

All men have the same amount of testosterone. If some choose to use it to maintain their hair, so be it. I've got other uses for mine.

My hair has always been thin and now that I hit 50 the bird nest in back is very noticeable. Luckily I still don't have grey hair but if I did so be it. My bro is three years younger and his just really went grey.

I did shave it once but the shape of my head did not work well with that look.

The older I get the less the hair on the top of my head grows but my beard grows faster. Go figure.

My advice is just deal with what you get. There is nothing more pathetic than some guy who obviously douses his hair regularly with black black #5.

When I was 61, my Doctor ran a testosterone test on me--658 about a 26 yr old. Not that is made any difference in my life. I was taking DHEA for a month straight before that.

As long as Willy-The-One-Eyed-Wonder-Worm rises to the occasion, hair is a non-issue.

Grow a pair of heavy duty cahones and shave it off every 2 to 5 days max. Eazy peazy!!

Been doing this last 15 years !! No big deal. Hair treatment for loss is equivalent to girls highlights. Getting bald up there who cares???


MAN UP. BECOME A MANLY MAN. NOT A little winnie boy.

I agree on the HT treatments that are available now. You can only harvest so many follicles. PLUS, you leave a gaping line behind your head. There was an experimental procedure that "grew" your own hair follicles in a lab, thus creating an "infinite" supply for you. Of course, this sounded expensive. Not sure what came of it. If I were serious about HT, this would be the route I would go.

Been balding since my late 20s; here are a few lessons & observations since:

- Best decision I ever made was to buzz it all off & own it. It taught me that women who are worth having were more interested in what was in my heart, not on my head. Confidence, respect, integrity, & a sense of humor took me way farther than nice hair ever did. The attitude change of accepting it also removed a massive source of stress from my life.

- Focus on what you can control. For example, you may have to be bald but you don't have to be overweight too. I finally got my act together and lost 50+ pounds over the last couple of years.

- Be cautious about the meds. They’ve been around a while but are there independent, long-term studies on potential side effects resulting from prolonged use?

- About surgical options, seems to me bald guys with tons of cash (celebrities, athletes, et.al.) would be all over it if it worked. Maybe some are and it’s that good. But given the cost & uncertain results, I just keep circling back to my first point above.

- The fact that baldness is fair game for jokes & comments people wouldn’t dream of making about other physical attributes is BS, as is paying most barbers the same for a cut as Clooney-hair dude does (I buzz it myself but like an occasional barber job with the neck shave & hot towel). But hey, those are first-world problems I can live with.
