1) Ray obviously is pretty baked as he types this.  You do what you have to do to cope, I guess.

2) I was monk-dimin' at 19.  At 25, I'm rocking a pretty hard core U of male pattern baldness.  But I don't shave my head.  A shaved head is a shiny shirt and I'm not a shiny shirt kind of guy.

[jaydub]

So Ray's not in Australia any more?

yes

In addition, K.L.I.T.Z. - B - R.E.D.D.Y.? Just askin'.

About all I've got in this world is the knowledge that if I live a long time, I ain't gonna bald until late... and even then, very slowly and from the widow's peak first, which is probably the least awful fashion in which to bald.

I'm fat and just a little bit crazy and broke and all sorts of things but I got great hair and I'll have it longer than most people.

I got that. I only wear ballcaps if it's very sunny or if I'm at a ballgame.

If you don't wanna go bald young, only wear hats when you have to. This is key.

My dad's dad was bald, but he still has thick, luxurious hair.  It's almost completely gray -- not surprising since he's 64 -- but as he always says, "Better gray than gone." 

Pedro's maternal grandfather had thick beautiful hair just like Pedro's.  He still had every lock when he died, so I'm pretty sure Pedro's never going to go bald.  Even if he does, he's shaved his head a couple of times just to see what it looks like, and he can pull it off better than most white guys I've seen. 

I have to admit, though, that I am kind of looking forward to Pedro going gray because he is going to be one damn fine looking gentleman when he gets to be in his fifties or so.  I mean, he's a rather good-looking guy *now,* but he's got one of those faces that ages particularly well.  Like Sean Connery.  He wasn't nearly as hot as Bond as he is now. 

When I married him, I made an investment.

The head-shaving thing just seems exceptionally strange when you remember that Ray is a cat. Does he really think the answer is to rock the Devon Rex look? Or maybe he just wants Teodor to scream when he comes near.

based on the whole you-get-it-from-your-mom's-side thing, I am going to go hell of bald. At what age is it normal to start balding, if you go bald?

if I get it from my dad, I will make it to at least 52 with a full head of hair, but it will be pretty grey.


the part I'm really worried about is how all the men on my mom's side are not only bald, but so hairy. SO HAIRY.

I was getting worried that I had developed a nerve problem. Every time I got out of the shower, I felt this weird tingling sensation in my lower back. Nothing I could do helped... it just took time and eventually went away.

Then my wife spelled it out for me. I was growing a bit more back hair. The tingling feeling was the feeling of the hair drying.

<sigh>

I think it's awesome when guys shave their heads. I think that most balding men would look great if they just shaved it off and stopped trying to fool everyone with the comb-over. 

[theinevitable]

my political theory professor has a shaved head, and it is wonderful. we all kind of have crushes on him.

[lprkn]

While I am also against the comb-over, I feel that head-shaving is just over-compensation the other way. It takes a very special head shape to pull it off. If you have this head shape, well great. If you don't, well, take comfort in the fact that you are part of the 99.999% of the population who is not Bruce Willis or Michael Jordan.

[Victoria Waterfield]

How about if a man were to shave everything but the comb-over?

Is there a button so's I can give you 42 cans?

Cause I would if I could.

When it first started, that halloween I shaved a hossshoe and went as "me in 5 years."  I don't know, it really hasn't bugged me at all.  I never considered Rogaine or anything like that because I really hate products and advertising campaigns that work by fostering insecurity^*.  Also I just imagine myself holding up a damn mirror to the back of my head every morning trying to see if it's working or not... I fret over enough aspects of myself.

* Oh, historical trivia.  Listerine pretty well invented the practice when in the 30s they popularized the then-obscure technical term "halitosis" to make bad breath sound scarier.

I am super blond, like my dad, so the transition to gray should be smooth.  I will probably not lose my hair, but I have a cousin who went old man bald by 23, so, well, I hope I don't lose my hair.  My dad's side is good, my mom's is mixed.
