Andy does it every couple days. Not sure if this is
out of necessity or habit, but I never see him with
stubble on his head, so I'm guessing it's necessity.
Note that shaving his head also releases him from the
necessity of wearing a hairnet at work (he's a cook).
He says it should be done everyday, but doesn't always
do so.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I've never asked. I'd take a
guess and say no more than 10 minutes. Revision to
that, Andy just walked in and said no more than 5
minutes, start to finish.

Nope. Have never seen cuts or missed spots. He does
get the occasional ingrown hair, which he points out
to me by saying he has a tumour growing on the back of
his head and asking me to perform the necessary
surgery. Yeah, he has a warped sense of humour, too.

He never uses old dull ones like I do. I suspect a
sharp one is a necessity, lest he end up with nicks
and cuts.

He used to use an electric razor, but only for the
shortest possible buzz cut. For a bald head, he only
uses a regular razor. He won't even use an electric
razor on his face, says it doesn't shave close enough.

Interesting question, and one I'd never considered. I
guess it's because he shaves often enough that I don't
ever see any black stubble (and yes, he's white). I
doubt I would really notice, as he hasn't got any hair
on top anyway. He figures that enough has fallen out
on it's own that he may as well remove the rest. He
says I should shoot him if he ever grows it back and
tries the dreaded 'comb-over'. I will happily oblige
if that day ever comes. :-D

Well, Andy isn't in perfect shape and looks darn good
bald, so that can't be the only rule. Even the best
physical shape won't compensate if someone has a head
that just looks wrong bald, IMO. Andy has a perfectly
shaped head, which is probably why bald suits him so
well.
