Mohit Sharma
Hi Friends, I am Mohit Sharma from Indore. I currently live in Jaipur for my studies. I am headshave fetisher and always wanted to shave my head from past 5-6 years. And finally shaved my head 1.5 years ago. Now I am going to share my headshave experience. If anyone wants to chat with me, you can message me on Instagram username mo_hit_sharma009. I will also share Pictures there
This is about April 29, 2023. It was the day of my last exam. After giving the exam, I came back to my room and, as usual, was thinking about getting a head shave. I wished I could shave my head, but I was a bit shy, so I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Then I saw some videos related to head shaving on Instagram and YouTube. After that, I fell asleep and woke up at 4 PM. I went to meet my friends at their flat because it was the last day of the semester, and we wouldn’t meet again for two months. While we were chatting about what everyone would do, one of my friends was scratching his head because he had dandruff. Another friend suggested he get a head shave. Hearing that, I suddenly got the urge to get a head shave too. I went back to my room in the evening and kept thinking, should I do it or not? Then I thought that I had a two-month break, so I could shave my head, and by the time college reopened, my hair would grow back. So, I decided to go ahead with the head shave.
But there was one problem — if I went home, I wouldn’t be able to get the shave, so I made a plan. I called home and told them I wouldn’t be able to come this time because my internship was starting, and I would come home directly during Diwali. My family agreed, and then I started thinking about the shave again. By this time, it was already 9 PM. So, I went to a shop nearby to buy a cap. I tried the cap to see how much of my bald head would show after the shave. The shopkeeper asked, “Do you want to go bald?” I replied, “Yes, I’m getting a head shave tomorrow morning, so I’ll take the cap now.” He said I could take it now and exchange it later if there was any problem. I bought the cap and went back to my room.
That night, I kept thinking that tomorrow I would be bald. I wasn’t sure how I would look with a shaved head, but I fell asleep. The next morning, I thought I’d wash my hair and then go to the salon to get the shave, and later come back and shave with a razor myself. I took a shower, wore a new shirt and jeans, packed the cap in my bag, wore my socks and shoes, and left the room. On the way, I remembered that I should buy a razor and shaving cream from D-Mart, so I took the bus and went there. I bought five razors, one shaving cream, one shaving foam, and one shaving brush. I put them in my bag and boarded the bus. I got off at the second-to-last stop, where I needed to go for the shave.
When I reached the area, I found out that the salon was already closed, so I asked a nearby shopkeeper. He told me to go to a salon on the corner of the third street. I went there and found a small salon. Just as I was about to enter, I felt a bit nervous and turned back. I went to a nearby tea stall and had tea, motivating myself that I couldn’t back out now. I had to go through with it. After a while, I went back to the salon. Just as I was about to enter, a man came out and asked, “What can I do for you, brother?” I nervously replied, “I want a head shave.” I found out he was the barber. He pointed to the first chair and said, “Sit there.” I sat down in the chair. The barber brought a black cloth, placed it in front of me, and tied it around my neck. He asked, “Do you want it done with a trimmer or a razor?” I said, “With a razor, please.” He sprayed some water on my hair, massaged it for 5-6 minutes, and then took out a razor from a drawer. He removed the old blade, washed the razor, took a new blade, cut it into two pieces, and inserted one piece into the razor.
He came behind me, and I knew the shave was about to start. He asked, “Do you want a small shave?” I said yes. He grabbed a section of hair from the top of my head, pulled it upwards, and ran the razor over it. I heard the sound of “shh shh” as the razor moved, and a strange feeling spread across my scalp. In just a few moments, the hair on the back of my head was completely gone. The barber then pulled the hair at the back and shaved the front part. I could see my bald head in the mirror as my hair fell forward. The barber then shaved both sides of my head, and in 5-6 minutes, I was completely bald.
He shaped the remaining hair on my scalp into a round shape and asked if I wanted to shave my beard. Since I wouldn’t be going outside for the next two months, I agreed. The barber removed the cloth from my neck, reclined the headrest, and tilted my head back. He placed a towel on my face, sprayed water on my beard, applied shaving cream, and lathered it with a brush. Then, he took the razor and started shaving. In 5-6 minutes, my beard was also completely shaved. The barber asked, “Do you want to keep your mustache or shave it?” I said, “Shave it.” He shaved my mustache off as well. Then, he sprayed water on my face and bald head, wiped it clean with a cloth, and applied aftershave lotion. Suddenly, there was a burning sensation on my skin. I paid the barber, took off my cap, and left the salon.
I went to the bus stop to head back to my room. I couldn’t believe that I was bald. I kept running my hand over my bald head, occasionally removing my cap to check. When the bus arrived, I went back to my room. As soon as I entered the room, I took off the cap and looked at my bald head in the mirror, running my hand over it.
It was truly a different experience. Now, I’m planning to get another head shave after Holi in March 2025.
