MPB, shaved head since 07, started with a goat & stache in 09, and moved to a full beard about 16 months ago. I cut it off where my sunglasses' earpieces meet the ear. I really like the look and see more guys with the shaved heads doing it now even in professional areas. One really big advantage is the life cycle for razor blades, I'm now using the Schick Hydro 5. Since I use a clipper w/o a guard to clean up the neck--and have a natural cheek line as well--the blades last for several weeks. Shine the dome, fur the face--works for me. I rarely put a cover on the dome--except a motorcycle helmet.
