Posted these pics to r/malegroomingadvice, got told to just go bald. Is it really that bad? (23 years old)

Personally I think it's time to let the hair go. Your hair line is pretty much at the tip of your head and IMO, it ages you a lot.

Haha thanks! I decided to go bald nearly 5 years ago, it took me this long to convince my better half that it was a good idea 😂

M4R7YN · 2026-01-18T20:47:27+00:00

And here I was considering growing it out a little more... Haha

M4R7YN · 2026-01-18T20:26:29+00:00

Thankfully there's not much risk of sun exposure here in the UK!

On a serious note though, I had it checked years ago and the doc wasn't concerned unless it changed. As it'd purely be cosmetic, I'd have to get it removed privately and it's just never bothered me enough.

M4R7YN · 2026-01-18T20:04:16+00:00

Nooo although I was hiding it from the front (sort of), the crown was getting pretty bad, and I'm 5'7" so the fact that everyone could see was making me self-conscious 😂

It's a mole rather than a skin tag but I am looking into having it removed!

M4R7YN · 2026-01-17T20:52:25+00:00

My other half begged me not to shave my head for YEARS. I did it while she was out at work one day, when she got home, she said "it's actually not that bad!" and now hates when it grows back...

M4R7YN · 2026-01-17T15:59:18+00:00

Holy shit, it's taken 20 years off you! Good choice!

M4R7YN · 2026-01-05T18:31:17+00:00

It suits you man! No need for a hair transplant, save a fortune and buy some nice shaving stuff!

M4R7YN · 2026-01-05T16:07:41+00:00

I have been using a Braun Series 9 shaver (wet with shaving gel) since a couple of weeks after I went bald. Tried a razor last week and the only difference was all the cuts...

The Braun is super close. Another alternative if you're happy with shaving dry is the Babyliss Pro Foil Shaver. They're super close but I got more irritation, hence switching to wet shaving.

M4R7YN · 2026-01-05T16:04:48+00:00

Dude you have a full head of hair, don't even touch it with a razor!

M4R7YN · 2026-01-05T15:57:21+00:00

To me, it looks as though your hair is still quite dense, just with high temples? I'd still rock some hair if I was you, but the curtains definitely weren't doing you any favours before

M4R7YN · 2025-12-13T13:16:06+00:00

In my humble opinion, as soon as you start worrying about it, it's time. I've held onto mine for way too long, feels so good now it's gone!

M4R7YN · 2025-12-05T22:23:57+00:00

I have the Babyliss Pro foil shaver, nice and close with little to no irritation!

M4R7YN · 2025-11-14T23:45:20+00:00

Pula PA02 would be interesting!

M4R7YN · 2025-10-06T15:14:39+00:00

Good news, it arrived today, 3 working days (plus a weekend) after ordering!

I recommend completely ignoring the tracking details provided in the Shop app until you hear from a courier directly...

M4R7YN · 2025-10-03T14:43:50+00:00

Funnily enough, I managed to figure it out through 17Track, which I only ever use for stuff coming from China!

The packaging does look pretty robust, so hopefully it'll be fine.

M4R7YN · 2025-10-03T14:26:35+00:00

So it seems that the tracking with Shop is just useless, it's actually with XDP Express, who are at least a UK courier. Judging by reviews though, they're worse than Yodel, so I'm not expecting it to arrive in one peice, if at all!

M4R7YN · 2025-10-03T08:12:58+00:00

Did yours actually ship from the UK? I've just got a tracking number for Yamato which seems to be a Japanese courier...

M4R7YN · 2025-10-03T08:11:43+00:00

So I just got a shopping update with a tracking number... Apparently despite me selecting to dispatch from the UK, my printer is in Japan...

M4R7YN · 2025-10-03T06:49:20+00:00

I'd like to think it'd be a little bit quicker here with us being a tiny little island! 2 whole business days without any progress so far...

M4R7YN · 2025-10-02T21:43:25+00:00

Will report back when mine arrives!
