At the rate I am losing my hair, it might happen.
Now that Propecia (Finasteride) has gone generic, the price went from something like $100+/mo to something like $10/mo!  On Tuesday, I am asking my physician for a prescription....  I hope it is a good idea.

Doesn't apply to me as I already have little or nothing to shave off 

Strange how hair starts growing down nostrils, out of ears and eyebrows start to look like a herbaceous border when you reach my age

Before and after pics at booking, but before cavity search?

Good idea. I started getting a short buzz cut last spring because it was more trouble than it was worth to deal with the remaining random hairs that almost always resulted in a comb over which I absolutely hate. Seemed like everyone but me knew I was getting balder and balder.    I rarely stand behind myself or look down on my head.  So WTH, long hair is outa here! I've had 'stach since the 70's and I'm considering losing that next. Tired of trimming that, too.

O.C. is right about hairs coming out everywhere else. What a PITA. There's something wrong with have a whole lot LESS hair and having to spend MORE time keeping it corralled.

But this absolutely takes care of helmet hair. What it DOES seem to precipitate, is more more bruising when you bump your head and down south here where I live, you've GOT to wear a hat  outside or you'll burn right now and you have to wear a helmet liner cap/dew rag or the sweat has nowhere to go but into your helmet! Just logistics... 

Roll with it MOB!

Yeah, the old theory that men always have the same amount of hair, it just moves 'south'; less and less on the head, more and more on the back, arms, 'face holes', etc. Sounds funny but seems true enough.

Oh, it is true alright.  The more hair I lose on my scalp, the more I seem to get in my nose, ears, and chest.  Haven't experienced the mega eyebrows yet, but I am sure that is in the long-term plan...

Except for you Brian, seems you still have every hair on your head. Unless the recent home improvement project has hastened it's detachment.

I expected to lose more hair as I got older and I have. There is one thing that is starting to tic me off a bit though. I just got good (and it took awhile) with the scissor handled tweezers at looking in the mirror and working backwards to pluck the black obnoxious looking hairs out of the center of my ears....and now the darned things are turning white and are harder than ever for me to see. Apparently everybody else can see them just fine however...well, at least the grand-kids see them fine and gleefully point out the ones I missed. I need to train the little tikes to become pluckers...but then there's all those child abuse laws.
...and what's up with the increased ear wax production, I wasn't expecting that! I've spent more on Q-tips in the last year than I did in all the previous years combined.

Guys....guys......TOO MUCH INFORMATION! 

I'm trying to eat breakfast here...well, not anymore.

[B.D.F.]

Yep, gots all my hair and as thick as it was when I was younger, it is getting even thicker as it turns white.

As to the crevice hair (Extra Easy Boys!) you mention, fortunately there are a lot of, er, removal techniques available. Most cut / shave the hair away but for the more adventurous among us there is waxing, sugaring (waxing but using sugar apparently, probably in an effort to distract the victim from realizing how bad it is going to be.... "Oh no Sir, we will not be WAXING, we will be sugaring") and then the truly interesting methods starting with the 'silk thread to pluck each hair out' method and moving onto the Turkish 'burning stick' method where they use fire (yes, actual fire) to singe away the unwanted hair. That certainly explains why so many especially well- groomed Turkish men are cranky. Not sure if especially well groomed Turkish women are cranky or not, and even if they are, not sure if the 'blow torch method of hair removal' is the cause. I know I am a little cranky but nothing to do with any crevice hair, mine or otherwise- I am just trying to buy a new cell phone and so far, have been unable to do so. Wait, what were we talking about again?

For those who think I am kidding about the Turkish hair burning technique, I give you this: https://www.youtube.com

For those with tough constitutions, there are faster, less refined methods than fire..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCVMnaf3L0s
