I am also uncomfortable very specifically with my character getting shaved. Any other means of messing with what they look like is irritating to me- but only because I've not only just been outsmarted, but I also now look like I've just been outsmarted. But in the specific case of shaving, it bothers me for the same reason that I would be uncomfortable with, for example, characters being able to swallow each other whole.
That being said, for the barberang specifically, I'm much less bothered by it than I would be by a random clown with a razor because it's clearly attached to an antag role, part of some greater plot, and it's incredibly temporary within the scale of a 100 minute game. Because of all that, I don't think my own discomfort really justifies any changes.
Really, the point where I start to be less-than-negligibly upset with abruptly being bald is the point where I'd be ahelping it anyway for some other reason, like no escalation or non-antag grief.
Haven't specifically seen the barberang used in a long time, but I imagine that the wig dropping on the floor below the character instead of being brought back to the thrower would relieve a sizable amount of what's being talked about here. I also imagine that seeing the barberang used in more rounds would make everyone a lot more discontented by it, so I appreciate how rare it is.
