hi kerri.
sorry to hear about the alopiecia.
although you look great bald, i realise you would rather have that choice.

i feel the same way about the last year starting to loose my hair thru mpb. not that the vast majority of the public would have noticed as im bald now 15 years.

yes it is possible :-)
shave against the direction(s) of growth
i like to drop a few drops of oil (veg oil will work!) into a clean sink of hot as you can stand water after shaving..
and using a facecloth, wash the head.
use lots of water on the cloth..bend over the sink if you have to, i do ;-)
and when you stand up and feel you will feel all the mini stubble sticking up.
dont wet your razor, just go back up over it like that
the oil will act as a lube
also i dont know if you like them but i swear by the extreme 3s
they bend so go over your head almost the width of the blade, not just tangental like the mach 3s
also they are not over priced
you may have to repeat the rinse shave thing a few times..but its worth a try, right?
also with this method they dont drop that ugly looking shaving strip off onto your head unlike the mach3s
also i like my head bald too..and i mean bald to the touch up against the growth and everything
so smooth a fly cant land
and thats what i get

Please try this and let me know how you got on or post any questions to me or here
thanks,

Mick

Have you considered electrolysis? It sounds like the 80% won't grow back and the 20% isn't giving up without a fight.

thanks for the sweet post :-)
first off no i havent tried the head blade thing, looks like too much hassle for me
and go easy on the pressure and speed when shaving!!
it cuts down on nicks and its more enjoyable too ;-)
if you enjoy shaving that is!
now for a question of my own as i live in irishland
whats the sun?
is that the big orange thing in the sky we sometimes get here for about 4 hours every leap year, when we celebrate something called "summer"??
kinda feels warm, is that the thing?
:-P

and ya, serious a few weeks in sunlight, not even summer sun will tan it all up, and shaving every day or other day to keep the stubble away helps

and glad to know my tips helped !!
yay for me :)
but it feels good doesnt it to be completely smooooth and shiney???

and to feel the breezes on that lovely smooth shiney BALD head ?

i know it does to me :-)
might be fun to train someone you love/trust in to shaving it too for you..

i have fun at the salon thats all i can really say lol

mick.

and stay bald and happy!!

mick yet again

i believe the only way to rid yourself of the 'shadow' you mention is to remove the actual hair follicle, so it will blend with the rest of your alopecia-bald skin. this can be achieved through electrolysis and will leave the head VERY smooth and clean looking. it really depends on what you are comfortable with....afterall it is an involved process and will take a while to achieve permanent baldness, but in the end it's the only truly effective way to get the look you are going for. and most likely if you have already lost %80 of your hair it wouldn't take that long before you could have the remainder cleared. if you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them.
