I've noticed lately that my hair is thinning--fast. I suppose if I live ling enough, I'll be bald. It wouldn't bother me except that I have a kind of pointy head. Most bald guys have nice, round heads and they look good, well, maybe not "good", but OK.
When I was shaving this morning, it occurred to me that no one ever goes "face bald". Now that's something most guys (and gals) would love to have. Then I wondered, "If no one goes face bald, where did the expression 'bald faced lie' come from?" I guess it means something like a lie not disguised with a beard. All the hair restoration products explain that a certain hormone causes hair loss. Then why doesn't that hormone cause your face, underarm, nose, ear and "where the sun don't shine" to go bald too? I know there are medical reasons why people lose hair but that doesn't count.
Life is complicated enough as it is without having to shave every day. I think the Amish have it right. Think of all the time and money we could save if we all stopped shaving. Well, it won't be long, I guess, before I'll be shaving my head too or not shaving at all.
