Shave it down or let it grow?

[Taverner]

I am a balding man.

At 41, I have the typical male pattern baldness, with fuzzy hair where the regular hair was

Yet, I have thick hair growing from the front of my hairline. This won't always be so.

Should I do the 'grow, gel and slick back' thing? Even though I might look like a douche?

1. That looks like a douche?

Hmmm. I thought the shaved look was pretty douchey myself.

Everywhere I look, white dudes with goatee, shaved pates, and a roll of neck fat.

2. Shave it

Or at least get your own electric razor and buzz it all off.

That's what I'm doing now.

The more you try to keep it the more douchy you'll look.

Let it go, bro.

4. But the hair I do have - shouldn't I celebrate that??

3. I have mine cut as short as possible.

High speed low drag anti friction.

6. I think the shaved look is sexy.

If you don't like it, you can always let it grow back.
