+I just shaved my head down to bald again. This marks my fourth time doing so, the past three being in aid of the [Leukaemia Foundation](https://www.leukaemia.org.au), for whom I raised a few thousand dollars.
+
+I figured I'd note some of the benefits, especially those I've noticed after some two years since my last haircut.
+
+- Instantly dry after bathing.
+- So much cooler temperature-wise.
+- Hair stays out of one's face/eyes without the need to tie it up.
+- Doesn't get tangled nor require as much care.
+- Especially when freshly shaven, extra sensations can be felt. I had an old maths teacher who swore he could forecast the weather, but more realistically, being able to feel air vortexes when walking through doors can be expected.
+- In the same vein as the previous, a shower stream on a freshly shaved head feels orgasmic.
+
+Of course, there are also downsides.
+
+- There is social stigma surrounding being bald, especially for men who might be made fun of for male pattern baldness, though I've copped a fair few undesired comments as a teenager.
+- It is horrifically easy to be sunburnt.
+- Takes effort to maintain.
+- Head stubble is surprisingly grippy and can catch on things.
