I shave my head. As it is, if I don't, I'm halfway there, anyway, so what the hell, right? It's something I do every other day, but maybe should so on the daily. But I don't because I'm lazy, mostly. It comes with a pretty big hazard, however: razors are sharp. A little slip and you're gushing blood all over the place. The head, encasing one of the body's most vital organs, naturally has a lot of blood vessels in it, so any cut bleeds for a bit. This is what happened to me this afternoon as it does every so often. Usually when this occurs, it's on the side of my head behind my ears since it's somewhat of a difficult area to get to. Today's cut was on the top and felt pretty deep going in. And the bleeding lasted probably a half hour even with compression and such. It still hurts a bit, but not a lot. It's mostly a little bit of a mess. Other concerns include being cold - the body loses a significant amount of heat through the head, again, to keep the brain alive. Bald people also have a greater tendency to hit their heads on things. Having hair is apparently just enough to warn someone to move out of the way. Still, I'm lucky enough to have a nicely shaped head and it's a better look than letting it grow, I think. Just gotta watch that razor.
FIRST!
