    Number 1 is safer to go, but just do a zero guard on friday and by the time its monday it will be around a #1, so u can both have your way and please others

    Nick Shell, this is no joke, but I greatly admire the fact that you are willing to try and experiment with a different type of look. Your choices have all been most interesting and I bet you had some fun with the experimentation. You come across as warm, kind, congenial, and most articulate. A solid Family Man of which there are few and far between. Last year, you inspired me to shave my head totally bald. I grew back my hair but someday I just might for the BALD again! Thanks!

    You look FLAWLESS with any buzz cut, dude. I'm not kidding. You have completely convinced me that my worries about hair loss were totally exaggerated. I had a buzz cut with a number 2 guard earlier today and I haven't been this happy in YEARS!!!!!!

    I'm 30 & experiencing quite rapid thinning on top, so I've decided to go with this look. Thank you for this video, it helps :)

    Nick, I think the zero/bald headed look was most interesting. Above, your look has a certain freshness and purity to it. You do have very handsome facial features with enormous brown eyes and with this look ------ we can concentrate on your manly beauty.

    Hi Nick, Thanks for your perspective, overall concerning having a little bit of stubble with a zero guard buzz cut! I've been shaving my head zero for 15 years, and I love it!

  • @coco-te1op
    @coco-te1op Před 3 lety +7

    Im 44 with thinning hair on top. I've been doing 5 on top and 1.5 on sides. Last week I just did a one all over and I loved it with very heavy stubble . Then I took the heavy stubble down to a zero and I looked too washed out. Just like you explained. You do need a weeks or 2 of stubble to pull it off. Totally agree. Not tried the zero yet! Just getting used to the 1 . Thanks man

  • @patrickdoherty4527
    @patrickdoherty4527 Před 5 lety +7

    I'm all about the zero guard with stubble. I don't like being clean shaven at all, which is why I don't shave my head. While I was balding I just buzzed down to a three or four and gradually went lower so there wasn't a big drastic difference. Once I went for the zero guard I thought "why didn't I just go for this from day one?"

  • @stillnotstill
    @stillnotstill Před 5 lety +1

    Thanks! This is the first vid I have watched about a zero guard, trying to decide if I should stick with the number one but I think you convinced me. As a lady with no stubble who is not concerned about the perception of others, what really stuck out to me was that it'll feel less fuzzy and show the hairline less frequently. I'm really into not doing my hair more freq than I have to so I appreciate you including those aspects. It's kind of an obvious thing, that cutting it shorter would do that, but hearing it from you helps counter the negatives of a zero guard that I've heard from others.

    I think the best thing about 0 guard for me would be being able to see if what my dermatologist prescribed me which was a topical solution (Clobetasol) and Nizoral shampoo for my hair loss works. Right now I can't tell if it working or not. I have possible high tsh getting tested again to make sure. So yea I've gone zero guard before during quarantine and it looked okay i like it compared to 1
