Here's my story
and some decades deferred, minor $$$ facts
:
Shaved my head Christmas Eve 1983 - living 5,000 ft. elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I was a busy masonry and concrete contractor up there for nearly a decade. I missed having a boat while in the mountains - but - I had a freaking blast in my 20's to 32 yrs. old in the wild and woolly Sierra mountains! Settled into SF CA area August 18th 1984... and went boating!
Christmas eve 1983 with bottle o' Tequila on the table and friends over to my house for holiday
PARTY! Gift of rechargeable Norelco roto track razor with a trimmer was given to me. By end of night I'd shaved my head bald from near shoulder length blond locks. I was 31 yrs. old. Back then not many WASP had shaved heads... In those days Yule Brenner and Tellay Sevales were two stars that did!
I was balding on top anyway and being a buffed dude I quickly dug being shaved bald. I've been so ever since!
Here's a little rough/average math [34 yrs. shaved head]:
20 hair cuts a year x 34 yr. at $10 per haircut = $6,800 savings
4 bottles shampoo / 4 bottles conditioner per yr. x 34 yrs. at $3 ea. = $816 savings.
Total Savings During 34 Years of shaved Head = $7616
BTW - Ever since getting the gift electric razor Christmas eve 1983 I've never had to bay for a new razor. Why??? Because I'm the only shaved head in our family and when ever a new razor is needed I get one as a Christmas present!
Life is Good!
