2. Yep. Several years ago.
I still have a full head of hair, although I keep it short nowadays.

3. Yea
I kinda did it on a whim a bit over a year ago, but came to prefer it to trying to maintain a head of hair. Now I shave every one to three weeks. Feels good.

4. Yes, a month ago
I got tired of styling it every day. The results were not sexy, and I gained the ennui of having to shave it every day. I've decided to try keeping it short.

5. No, but I cut my hair pretty close once
When I was in high school I had a very high prolonged fever, so much so that my beautiful long hair fell out.

I wore a bandana for a while, but after a while the long ones just looked way too stringy and the bandana was getting old, so I had it all cropped off. As it grew back, the hair came in much wavier than before. :-)

6. Competitive swimmer
I can shave my head with a pair of electric clippers, even the neckline and sideburns in about five minutes total time.

So, to answer your question, yes.

7. Half of it during my short lived angry punk rock girl phase...
turns out I'm not angry enough or confident enough to pull off half shaved ink black hair :crazy:

9. I do every once in a while, since I have no more hair on my head,
just a fringe around the sides.
I used to have very long wavy hair, but I think short or none is the way I prefer it now.

It's a lot easier to take care of, anyway.

10. Yes.
Cut it very short for chemo, then shaved what was left as I went along. I looked like a conehead. :D

15. No need- time is slowly doing that for me anyway.
Why waste energy when it'll get done without my help?

19. yep
Not with shaving cream and things though - just with an electric razor, so there was a bit of stubble there. I would like to do it again, but now that I'm going bald, I feel that I should keep the little bit of hair that I have while it's around. I was also much thinner when I shaved my head. I don't know if I want to be the fat guy with the shaved head.

"Harmonicon? Who is that"
"You know. The fat guy with the shaved head."
"Oh! him!"

21. Yeah, in 2006...
It was my 12h week in chemo, and I got tired of shit of my hair just falling out, so the next morning, with nobody home, I just shaved all of it off, and I felt soooooo much better!
