Just buzzed it all off

I just took a clippers and buzzed it all off this afternoon.

I had shaved my head for a while about 13 years ago but it didn't work well with the shape of my head at the time and I got tired of the extra 1/2 hour to shave my head every day.

I'm going to let it grow back, but I was just curious how it would look if I did a buzz cut again since I had lost a bunch of weight, which changed the shape of my head in the process.

Of course when my mom sees it....

I thought she'd throw a FIT but she was like meh, ok. I think I might shave it completely off for a few days just to see how it looks. I'll probably let it grow back then.

Especially with it being so warm around here today.

And I think it actually works better now since losing all sorts of weight, which caused the shape of my head to change a bit.

I pretty well cut all of my hair off pretty regularly and it grows back fairly fast. It's a lot less upkeep that way and I'm cooler too (in summertime especially)...a lot less hassle to groom/comb/style (of course I'm older so I don't exactly have a raging head of hair...ha!

For many men, it's a bold decision to shave the head.
What do you use for that? Electric shaver, trimmer or a straight razor? I'm asking because I write articles for a blog called Mister Shaver and always try to collect any statistics, info, cases, etc. for my future posts.
Thanks!
