Coming back Sly again?

Hey guys... it's been almost exactly a year since I went sly. However, once summer 2015 was over I grew out my hair and went back to the usual routine.
It's been pretty hot lately, and I needed a haircut, so last night I got the ol' clippers out and buzzed my entire head. I figured since I went this far, might as well go completely clean shaven. Here's a photo from last week, and one from a few hours ago. How does it look?
I guess I'll have to do the the 30 day challenge again. I think I pretty much have the technique down. However, my concerns are more about appearance.
One... you rarely, if ever, see completely bald Asians, especially BBC.
Two... I feel I have a misshapen head, I have the "Asian flat in the back of the head" look.
Three... I think completely shaven, slick, and smooth looks alright. A no-guard or a #1 buzz cut looks okay too. I think what bothers me is the sandpaper shadow I'm having this very moment... like a 5 o'clock shadow on my head. Having black Asian hair doesn't help either. To me it just looks... WEIRD.
What do y'all think? Any other Asian input? Thanks in advance!

I'm not Asian and the back of my head is flat but keeping my remaining fringe shaved clean makes the head shape really less of an issue. You look awesome so sly ! Keep it !

I think you look just fine! And kudos for changing it up now and then. I do this also. I shave for about 4 months of each year and then grow a flattop for the other part of the year.

Hey Wilsun,
I would worry less about what others think about your baldness. Obviously, to you, being Asian is an important part of your identity, but that shouldn't be a factor in your decision to live sly. What is important is what makes you happy, regardless of how others feel. I think you look pretty good! My head isn't perfect either, but whose is?
I would encourage you to stick to the 30 day rule. I think you'll be glad you did.

Not asian, but I think sly suits you.

Hey , thanks for the comments, guys! It's been seven days and so far I'm still liking the look. I think it looks fine if you're looking at me straight on, but from a side profile it still looks weird to me because of my flat back of my head. Oh well...
A part of me still kinda miss the hair, maybe being sly will be just a summer thing!
I have to say though, having no hair feels so much cooler, definitely helps being out in the field working as an EMT.

Looks good, wilsun. A few of my co-workers are Asian and sly and they all look nice.

Day 21 and still liking it. And another advantage I realized last weekend... went riding on my motorcycle and didn't have to worry about helmet hair!

Yeah, I know a lot of Sly riders and they say the same thing about the lack of helmet hair.
