I'll never forget the morning I actually timed it. 15 minutes, every single day, just on the crown. Doesn't sound like much until you multiply it by 365.
I'd shaved my head for six years. The crown always grew back faster and coarser than the rest, so skipping a day meant showing up rough by lunch. I told myself that was just the deal — bald means daily razor, no negotiating.
The Part Nobody Tells You About Going Bald
What I didn't know is that the crown isn't actually stuck on a fixed schedule. The regrowth speed responds to what you put on it right after shaving — most guys just never get told that, because most products are about growing hair back, not slowing it down where you don't want it.
That's the opposite problem from what I had. So when a friend mentioned drops made specifically for that, I almost didn't look twice.
