First off, congrats on getting rid of that annoying shit on the top of your head… you are going to save yourself months of time and grief over the course of your life. Bald dudes exude confidence, embrace it and never look back!
Now the important part, you need to buy these clippers… 
You’ve probably bought some $50 Wahl pieces of shit from Target or Wal-Mart and think you’re good to go. Throw them in the trash now. They are cheaply made, the motors are shit and you’ll be lucky to get a couple of years out of them. You might be shaving your head with a razor. Fuck that. Number one, I haven’t met a girl who doesn’t like a tiny bit of shadow. Not a single one liked the shiny smooth finish from a razor… it’s a pain in the ass, you have to keep buying razors, razor burn just sucks ass and so does cutting yourself on occasion. Ditch the blade!! The Oster Classics are made like a washing machine from the 1950’s. As long as they are maintained, they last forever. I just had to replace my first set after 7 years because I left it them in a damn hotel room and by the time I realized it and called, they couldn’t do anything for me. When I fired up the new pair, they sounded and cut the exact same as my old ones. They are one of the few products out there that have maintained their standard of quality over the years. You’re welcome. |

Do sharpen them myself. |

My Wahl clippers have been going strong for 15 years now, paid $25 or something like that from Walmart for those.
I have tried a few electric head shavers and they sucked bigly. DE razor and Cremo does a much better job with less irritation. I shave the head every 5-7 days, life is good. |

Lasted 10 years or so before giving up the ghost. Got another Whal clipper to replace them. |

 Attached FileYou obviously have not tried the Phillips OneBlade. It's a game changer. You don't need some clunky 5 lbs piece of steel the size of a stuffed burrito. This thing is small & portable. And the blades are replaceable so it's always sharp. |

I don’t want to have to replace blades… and I guarantee you they don’t sell them in my town. Plus, I don’t want some rechargeable battery that’s going to fail. Though it might be a good option for travel only. |

The last few days has seen a concerning amount of head hair in the shower. I'm 42, always had a widows peak but fine otherwise, Dad and one brother went bald early, other brother and Mom's dad have/had a good head of hair. Guess this is my time.
 It's my whole head too, not just the top. Maybe it's just the stress.I shaved my head a lot when I was younger because of basketball and the Army, always figuring I wouldn't care about doing it if I went bald. Now here I am remembering what an ugly head I have.

I found out I was losing my hair long after I started shaving my head. My barber retired, and I decided that was enough haircuts for me, I was 22.
as for recommendations I got some Walmart or Target Philips $40 electric razor 20 years ago that still works fine if I forget to use the Mach 3 I got when I turned 18. that thing looks nice, but I'm not sweating it |

You people shaving with a razor every day or every other day just baffle me. No guard on the clippers and i let it go for like a month. Nobody gives a shit and im tall enough that most folks dont really see the bald spot anyway. |

Meh, I've got a Wahl cordless and corded that are still going strong after 10+ years. A little blade oil after each use, and disassembly and clean once a year is all it takes. But I maintain with the Schick green razors you get in a bag of 12, they last longer than they should.
