I bought a Philips Norelco Shaver (rotary) to allow me greater ease in shaving my head and it works pretty well. It can be used wet or dry, but has to be cleaned more frequently if used wet.

Now that the month has finished, I am only shaving twice a week instead of three times. I tried doing just once a week, but the hair grew long enough which made it more difficult and time-consuming. Shaving or trimming everything (head, face, beard) twice a week is adequate to keep me looking pretty decent.

I haven’t gotten too much comment on it from my friends, except for the occasional, “nice dome!” Overall, I tend to like it. First off, I no longer have to worry about what my hair looks like (is it buzzed short enough; do I need to add some hair gel, etc.). Second, I no longer have a receding hairline or any weirdness in the back. Third, it’s a new look. I like new things. It will get old after a while, but I’m going to enjoy the freshness of it while I can.

I am still open, however, to growing my hair out again. I would appreciate feedback from family, friends, and readers: good, bad, or otherwise. If I do decide to keep the look for good, I might have to experiment with different beard styles. We’ll see.
