i have the typical horseshoe balding pattern. I’ve been using the No. 1/2 Guard for a while now, with the clippers set on their shortest setting via the lever thingy. However, tonight I just took the guard off and used the clippers at their absolute shortest setting. I’ve been hesitant to shave my head; don’t want ingrown hairs or razor burn. Balding guys, how do you maintain your scalp, haha, and teeny tiny short hair? I just use standard Wahl clippers. Are there better options made for bald guys? I’ve seen their balding blades, but they look just like the regular ones, but with finer teeth. These better? Thx!
Same boat as you. I still get mine cut, and lady uses 1/2 to 1 with no guard I believe. Can't bring myself to shave either. Some say to do it....it'd look good, and some say "nah". Hell if I know! I'm sure I'll shave it one of these days. Maintain scalp? I just wash daily. With very little shampoo. LOL!!
With the 1/2 guard, my head is basically stubble. I think the length on the guard says it’s 1/16”. Not sure what it is without, 1/32? At that post we’re splitting hairs... My boys make fun of their bald dad and his goatee. They call me Walter White, Heisenberg, or tell me I look like a white supremacist (in fun, however).
Razor. I love it. Follow with some good aftershave lotion. I was hesitant at first but once I took the plunge it feels weird not doing it. I get a sunburn the first mowing of the season but after that it tans up just fine.
“Hey, you goofy looking baldy-headed fucks. It looks good on black guys. On you, it’s ugly, repulsive, and disgusting. You want to be bald? Do what I did. Wait a while. In the meantime, there’s no excuse for running around looking like a freshly circumcised dick.” ~ George Carlin
I just use clippers with the shortest gaurd, i think its the 1/16 gaurd. I would do the shave it totally but I am way to lazy to do that daily or eveyother day.
I use the clippers, shortest setting with no guard. I do the same on my face, I don’t like the cue ball look. I got an electric head shaver for Christmas a couple years ago and never even took it out of the box. If anyone wants it the can have it for shipping cost.
Clippers is where it's at. I've been doing that since high school, makes the balding less noticeable therefor less harsh on the ego.
Same here...clipper the head and the face very short. Some razor trimmimg on the face and throat. I like low maintenance. And I'm not sure why one would have to maintain his scalp. I wash my head with a cloth just like I do my face. Easy peasy.
1/32. Did that from 17-20 and then ever since i was 26. I wonder how much $ it saved me from not going to a hair salon
Try a Wahl Balding clipper. It will cut shorter than a std. one. I think it's easier/faster than a razor.
