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.
