Q & A

Q: Why do you shave your head?

A: The short answer is that I have a receding hairline and shaving my head is a preemptive strike. By getting rid of it, I don't have to deal with it anymore.

There have been numerous upsides to shaving my head. I thought women would find me repulsive. The opposite has happened. The other thing is that people can't guess my age. If I grew out my dying and graying hair, my age would be obvious. And things are much cooler in the summer.

The downside is that I have to shave daily. It isn't a low maintenance hairstyle. That is a myth. You just say goodbye to bedhead. The other downside is brain freeze during the winter. Buy some hats.

If you decide to shave your head, I recommend going to a barber and having them shear your noggin to the bone with some clippers. Then, go home, lather up, and shave it. Do this daily.

On the weekends, I let my hair and beard grow out to give my skin a break from the constant shaving. On Monday when it comes off, it seems to give me a better feel. Some folks can compromise with a buzz cut like Jason Statham does.

I'm not a fan of hair. I don't do goatees or beards. I think women should go short with their hair. It just feels cleaner and looks better.
