People always say this but, even putting aesthetics aside, I'd choose a full head of hair any day.

You talk about the speed of shaving but don't say you have to do it every day or it looks like shiiiit. I used to go 2-3 months between haircuts and they cost $20+tip

    No matter how you slice the pie it's still way cheaper and easier to shave every other day than it is to deal with a barber. Sure if I didn't lose my hair I'd want it, but I'm not going to fight genetics and nature. Vanity is pathetic and way more cringe than embracing the inevitable.

    It's definitely cheaper but it being easier is debatable. It takes wayyyy more effort to shave 90 times than to make a stop after work to sit for 20 minutes.

    And I made it pretty clear I wasn't talking about vanity. I just don't love having to put a sharp blade to my head first thing every morning for it to not look like a crackhead.
