> Grooming and style: you can, nonetheless, choose to date yourself with your clothing and overall presentation, or not. One thing I admittedly do is stay clean shaven and bald so the gray hair and receding hairline don’t show. But I’ve had the latter since I was in my mid 20s. I had a (White) former manager tell me years ago that no one can tell how old Black guys are that are clean shaven. I never realized that. The old joke is that it’s the lotion… https://youtu.be/RiH-_ZUILk0?si=3I68rm8P35sIy3ke https://youtu.be/RiH-_ZUILk0?si=3I68rm8P35sIy3ke

I have not seen a clip of a young Bill Burr in ages! Now that he is bald, he is my doppelgänger. Viktor Frankl also claimed that staying clean-shaven made you look younger, and attributed it as one factor in his survival of the concentration camps. He used a piece of broken glass to shave.

Shaving can definitely help you stay younger looking, but there's also something to be said for the silver fox look. No question I get more attention from women today than when I was 20. Take good care of your body and skin and you can be good looking at any age.

  I am married - I only need the attention of one woman… But when I don’t keep my hair bald. I look more like George Jefferson than George Clooney. https://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120725/ent/ent2.html https://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120725/ent/ent2.html

Yeah, going bald definitely helped me, though I think I aged into the look. (I went bald at 21 by mistake; it looked hella weird then). I didn't like my hair. It didn't grow very long and, because I'm a side sleeper, I would wake up with super compacted hair that was itchy. I also didn't like paying to wait 30 minutes to make small talk with barbers about shit I didn't care about. Mach 3 all the way. I _have_ to have a lotion routine. Otherwise my skin will turn dry and gray and feel rough and generally horrible. At the moment, I use Palmer's shea butter body oil while I'm still wet from the shower, then I top it off with Palmer's coconut butter formula. I used to make my own shea butter lotion, but it was a fair amount of work and takes a while to dissolve into my skin.
