Headshave as analogy

PJStar.com has an article that's not really about headshaving, but it does use shaving as an analogy. For some reason, I found that interesting.

For a long time, I pretended to actually have hair. I cultivated my few remaining strands with love and care. Finally, I looked in the mirror and asked myself: "Who are you fooling?" I grabbed my Gillette disposable, lathered up with Edge and did the only thing that made sense. And now here I am, all these years later, the happiest bald dude this side of Vin Diesel.

Headshaving is common in sports, but I just haven't read an article that used it in quite this way before.
