I'm 50+ and have prefered to cut it down to electic clippers without a guard for a number or years. Less maintance. Besides, you can not tell if you caught me napping.
TPA who TWI "The 10th Amendment simply says that any powers that aren’t mentioned in the Constitution as belonging to the government belong to the states themselves."
It's true, I use clippers on my arms and legs twice a year. My ears need trimming all the time. I check my nose hairs every day and clip clip. 51 sucks! LOL
I've used a hair trimmer for the last ten years already. Stop whining and man up!

Castration is a good cure for baldness I've heard.
As you can tell from my online name; I didn't go to that extreme.
I have now found at 65 my armpits are going bald. The follicular vitality from this loss has alas transferred to promote vigorous growth of eyebrows, and from nose and ears alas.
I'm going slightly bald It finally happened - happened It finally happened - ooh oh It finally happened - I'm slightly bald Oh dear!
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
I used to sport a 'Bobby Charlton' (You guys over the pond may need to google that) then one day someone at work dared me to have it shaved off.I have NEVER looked back and I did it despite the fact my wife had forbidden it.Over the years I've saved a fortune on haircutting fees.Plus I look bad-ass (I think)
Propecia + Rogaine works, that's all I can say. Pretty cheap too if you go with generic and order from overseas.
Propecia (Finasteride) lowers your libido, just so you know, also may cause your nipples to become sensitive and maybe a little breast development. Make sure you take 1mg per day. Best taken in the morning. Rogaine (Minoxidil), if you have aggressive hairloss you may want a 5% solution, otherwise take 2%. Best applied 2 times a day on scalp where the hairloss is. (It would be ridiculous if you applied it on your knees )
Be a bit careful with Minoxidil if you're already running on low blood pressure as it was originally developed to be used against high BP. Over here it's prescription only. But can't say I noticed anything negative, and it does indeed seem to help.
Yeah, I used to take the mickey and laugh at the guy I worked with when he complained about going bald/ grey, I was in my twenties and he was in his fifties, oh how karma comes back to bite you in the arse!
I had the hairdresser "trim" my eye brows a few months ago, I'm 39 ffs!
That Farrow bloke you executed today, are you sure he's dead? Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick. Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake. No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

This thread is the defining proof of what the demographics are at SimHQ.
As for me, I'm 42 and still have a head full of hair.

I went through the whole male pattern baldness thing up until I said screw it and shaved it all off a couple of years ago. I figure I can't keep it from falling out but I can stop it from coming back!!
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
