Bald, Bearded, and Brave: Using the Remington Shortcut Pro for a Zero Guard Buzz Cut from a Full Head of Hair

I have this ritual: Every year and a half, I shave my head with the Remington Shortcut Pro. I keep it that way for a couple of months, then I grow my hair back out. I have been routinely doing this since I was 21 years old.

Typically the response I get from people who have never seen me without hair is this: “Whoa! What did you do to your hair?… Actually, though… You can pull it off. It looks good on you.”

However, I know the secret:

The moment you shave off all your hair is the moment you have what it takes; that’s the moment you can pull it off.

It’s less how about a man looks with his hair shaved off and more about the idea it conveys:

“I am a man who is brave enough to base my identity completely apart from my hair.”

In other words, it’s announcing to the world that my hair is not part of my confidence. I say it’s silly and juvenile for a man to base any of his confidence in his hair, knowing that most men experience male pattern baldness at some point in their life.

And then once you had a beard to the equation, it sends that much more of a subliminal message of confidence out to the masses.

A man who rocks the bald head and the full beard is the man who broadcasts his masculinity.

As Mario Joyner pointed out in a recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the beard is the one last thing that men still exclusively have.

There has never been a better time for men to shave off all their hair and grow their beards.

It takes a confident man, even a brave man, to shave off his hair.

So if you’re considering making that leap of masculinity, I highly recommend the Remington Shortcut Pro, as demonstrating in the video at the top of this article.

You can also check out the product on Amazon with this link: Remington Shortcut Pro

Lastly, I invite you to check out my YouTube channel, which is ultimately a celebration of the masculine identity and mindset.

What Does a #4 Guard Buzz Cut Look Like for Balding Men? Remington ShortCut Pro Demonstration

You found this article by Googling something like, “What does a buzz cut look like if you’re balding?”

Maybe specifically, you are searching what a #4 guard buzz cut looks like, or you simply want a non-commercialized demonstration of the Remington ShortCut Pro.

Either way, you came to the right place.

Recently my dad asked me to serve as his barber, using my Remington ShortCut Pro to buzz off his hair with a #4 guard. So first, let me show you the “before” photos…

And now, enjoy the video of when I did the #4 guard buzz cut on my dad, using the Remington ShortCut Pro:

Lastly, here are the “after” photos:

My dad is very pleased with the results of his new look.

If you are considering purchasing the Remington ShortCut Pro, I personally highly recommend it.

The device is so easy to use and it doesn’t have to stay plugged in to work. You can choose which number guard to use.

A year ago, I was using the zero guard.

And obviously, I also invite you to check out my YouTube channel, which is focused on dealing with hair loss, but not actually “curing” it.

Thanks for stopping by!

As the World’s Manliest Vegan, I Proudly Endorse All-Natural, Essential Oil Based Products from Jack Black (Courtesy of Boardroom Salon for Men in Nashville on West End); Also Featuring from Prep U

As an accidentally popular Nashville-based daddy blogger and YouTuber who happens to be The World’s Manliest Vegan, or at least The Manliest Vegan on the Internet, I’m not “get a free family vacation to Disney World” famous.

But I am “get a free trip for myself to Florida to see the Grapefruit League Baseball Series” famous.

I’m also “famous enough to get a free car with a full tank of gas for a week” anytime my family goes on a road trip or takes a vacation.

And to my delight, I’m also at the point now where on any given day, my wife may announce to me, “Nick, some company set you a package in the mail…”

This week, I got a care package courtesy of the newly opened Boardroom Salon for Men in Nashville on West End, including all natural, vegan-friendly products from Jack Black that they sell at their location:

Jack Black Charcoal Body Bar Messaging Soap

You may remember how about a month ago, I did a special video there when they gave me my first ever clean head shave.

Well now, a month later, they’re still keeping me in the loop. Apparently, they learned how passionate I am about all-natural products; ones that are based from essential oils, not weird chemicals.

Coincidentally, I also happen to receive a care package from Prep U:

Prep U Body Wash

Prep U Active Dry Powder

Prep U Body Spray

Prep U Natural Deodorant

The Prep U product line is specifically made for pre-teen boys; though I must say, their deodorant is my new favorite, of any brand! It works so well.

In case you didn’t know, about a decade ago, I stopped using personal products that contain shady ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate. I also stopped using deodorant that contains aluminum.

I am a dyshidrotic eczema survivor. In order to be healed of my disease, I had ultimately become a vegan (5 years now) and only use all natural products.

So as you can imagine, the products sent to me this week by Boardroom Salon for Men in Nashville on West End are obviously an extension of my identity and completely inline with my own brand image.

In addition to being all natural, they also smell very clean, in a classy, subtle, masculine way. In other words, not like Axe body spray.

For me, this is like Christmas in June. I’m the 37 year-old dad and husband. I don’t get nice stuff for myself. My money goes to my family- and my attempt to pay off the mortgage early.

Getting these care packages this week made me very grateful and very happy, as you can see in the picture below.

Thank you Boardroom Salon for Men in Nashville on West End. I am honored to serve as spokesman for natural products for men!

Review of the Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro: What I Learned from Choosing to Be Bald for 3 Months

As of this week, I’ve decided to grow my hair back out from the zero guard buzz cut, to a more mainstream hairstyle.

My wife’s request may have had something to do with that decision…

In addition to my son’s recent drawing of our family where he purposely drew me with a hat on…

But for the past 3 months, I have consistently chosen on a weekly basis to be bald. I even went to The Board Room in Nashville on West End and got my head clean shaven at one point.

And I have to say, I love being bald!

It’s awesome.

(Here’s the video I made when I shaved it all all from a full head of hair, before I updated to the The Remington Lithium HC4250 Shortcut Pro, which I now use.)

I love not having to think about going to get a haircut every 4 weeks, or having to pay for a haircut, or having to spend the time to get a haircut, or having to wonder if my hair is messed up after walking outside in the wind.

The zero guard buzz cut served as a perfect outward representation of how I feel on the inside.

Even though I can still grow hair, I personally prefer the look and feel of no hair.

In my opinion, the buzz version of me with the zero guard buzz cut is when I also have a 2 week-old beard:

I even wrote a cool original song about how great it is to buzz off your hair:

So if you’re considering trying out the buzz cut look, let me tell you about a must-have that I finally discovered here at the end of my 90 days of baldness:

The Remington Lithium HC4250 Shortcut Pro

Even my wife immediately acknowledged how even my hair looked after I used the device.

It’s really easy and fun to use. And if you’re not ready to go all the way down to a zero guard (no guard), you can opt to use one of the standard length guards included with it.

Be warned though: Once you take the leap and decide to buzz it all off, you’re probably going to get addicted. That’s definitely what happened to me.

You begin to realize, as a man, that hair seems to being pointless; just a waste of time, money, and energy.

If you’re possibly interested in making this purchase, I’ll make it easy for you by including the link below, so you can get straight to Amazon to find the best deal on one:

Dear Jack: Your Amazingly Accurate Family Portrait That You Drew for Fun at School, That Almost Got Thrown Out

7 years, 5 months.

Dear Jack,

This past weekend as Mommy was cleaning out your back pack from school, in an effort to throw out anything you didn’t need in there anymore, she found a hidden treasure, asking, “Ah Jack, what’s this?”

It was immediately obvious that you had done an amazingly accurate job of drawing and coloring a picture of your family.

The details were all there.

You and you sister have blue eyes, while your parents have brown. You mixed yellow and brown for your hair color, which is a sandy brown; unlike your sister’s blonde hair and your parents’ brown hair.

I had to laugh, because I now realize you purposely drew me wearing hat, as you’ve made it clear in a subtle way thought you don’t like my current look of choosing a zero guard buzz cut. (With a gentle nudge from Mommy this week, though, it has been decided I’ll be growing my hair back out now.)

In your drawing, Mommy’s lips were colored in full, as compared to the rest of us: I’ve never seen her when she’s not wearing lipstick.

You even took great measure to get our wardrobes right. Clearly, you put a lot of thought into this picture.

What makes me proudest about your drawing is that you chose to do this on your own, at school. It was not part of an assignment.

You just took it upon yourself to draw your family, with great personal details according to each family member.

And we’re all happy in the picture; which is a reflection of how you see us.

I’m looking at the psychological reason you drew this picture. This was your way of expressing that you love your family.

The thing is, there was no guarantee we were even going to see it.

In fact, it almost got thrown away, as it was casually mixed in with a bunch of old graded homework.

You didn’t draw this picture to impress me.

But boy, you managed to anyway.

Love,

Daddy
