My dad was very bald by 40. He went the high end toupe - Hair Club for Men - route. Spent tons on upkeep and new rugs as his hair color changed.
At 60-ish my forehead had crept back about halfway to the back AND I was developing a bald spot on the crown. I was nearing the awkward state of just a strip of hair separating the two bald areas. Enough.
I shaved what was left off.
When you entirely shave your head, it is INTENTIONAL. You don’t look like a poor sap that is trying to comb over what is left. You have embraced baldness and you and it are one!
It doesn’t hurt that my wife thinks a totally bald head is sexy.

Comb overs fool no one. Many years ago there was a fellow from India who worked at the reseach center. His comb over was a spectacular feat of engineering. We all knew but never talked with him about it. One day walking from the parking lot into work I saw him catch a strong breeze that unraveled his comb-over. That thing unfurled like a flag extending about 3 feet long flapping in the wind. It was ridiculous and hilarious.
