I cut mine to a number 2 when it started to fall out, was neater that way. and then shaved the rest off a week or 2 longer, when the whispy spikey were annoyin me and making sleep etc difficult.
I will NEVER regret the number 2 or the full monty shave, now it is smooth as a babys bum, and I embrace it.
I do not wear or own a wig, I have a number of beanies and highly recommend buying a cotton sleep cap, as your head gets cold at night when you have no hair. I alsogo out bald, I have no issues with being bald, and believe that if anyone was to stare at me (and there have been very few) then they have the problem NOT ME. I have to take me hat of sometimes, as I get shocking hot flushes from the chemo induced menopaus, which mostly seems to affect my head and neck and mean I often need to whip my hat off, I try to leave it on when outside, just becasue it is so cold here in Winter (- 6C tonight here in ACT).
Embrace the bald and take control and do the shave, it really helps witht he headaches and the awful prickly feelings etc.
Lok after yourself, and take it easy.
