I have kept my head shaved for the last 8 weeks, I have AA so I have some hair that "tries" to grow here and there. It is a marble look on my head when it is shaved, I find that if I do it once a week that is enough and I am much more comfortable than when I have random stubble all over. It can be hard to get rid of what you have left, but I find that it feels better and my husband says it looks better too. Good luck!

I tend to shave every other day or so. I dont like the stubbed to get too much since my hair was very dark brown. Also I figure if Im going to rock the bald look, I want to bald and smooth. :-)

Thanks Tamera and Terri! It really helps to hear others experiences. I am so glad I found this supportive group of people.

On this Friday I will have been bald for 2 whole weeks. w00t! I definitely could shave everyday to keep up with the stubble. Like Terri, my hair is dark brown, and until I get some sun on my scalp the contrast is pretty high. As long as I'm working at my current job, aka The Freezer, I won't shave everyday since I have to wear a scarf to keep warm anyway. What I think I'll do is a super close shave on Saturday morning so I can be smooth on the weekends and not shave at all during the work week.

I recently buzzed what was left of my hair off down to my scalp. When it gets to "fuzzy" I just run the trimmer over it. My husband had an extra beard trimmer and it works just great. I usually do this a couple times a week.
