Balding is the most depressing thing. Wish I had started taking Finasteride years ago when I decided the risks weren't worth it.
Being a young man who's balding might seem depressing, but I can certainly think of something far more depressing. Propecia's labeling was recently updated to say that erectile dysfunction may be permanent, even if you stop taking the drug.
To pull off the shaved head successfully you need to have a strong jaw and squarish face. Not all faces are created equal.
However, shaving your head does not necessarily mean you're going to look "good", aka Jason Statham mode. A lot of people just look like eggs or aliens when they shave their heads.
