My hair started thinning slightly in my late 20s (And going grey at the same time. Some cosmic joke, eh?!), and I said for ages that I would keep my hair until I hit 30, then shave it all off. I hit 30 and figured I had enough coverage to keep it going a few years longer. Sadly my housemates had different ideas, and presented me with a set of clippers for my birthday. It seemed churlish to refuse after that, so I was taken out in to the garden and shorn. I started wet shaving my head about 4 months ago, only once every couple of weeks or so, and always using my clippers to make the hair a bit more manageable first. I tried using my DE razor once, but it was hard to get the blade angle right at the back of the head, and the scalp has a lot less give in it, so I ended up with loads of weepers. I've been using up my stock of cartridge blades since (King of Shaves Razr - truly terrible razor!), and the canned goo. I will one day get one of those headblade gizmos, but only after I've run out of other stuff first.
I thought I'd end up looking like an alien or something when I first wet shaved my scalp, but actually I had a 5 o'clock shadow pretty soon, and it makes it look like I have pretty good hair coverage (I don't) and that I'm choosing to go for the bald look (I'm not). It does look amusing after I've shaved, as I have heavy eyebrows and one of those silly "Soul Patch" things, so I look slightly like a potato that someone punctuated, but SWMBO likes it. I have to be pretty heavy on the moisturiser afterwards, or my skin gets pretty dry and that looks nasty.
