I have to cosign with crazy.irish.celt. You can't ask the opinons of others-big mistake bro! Like Nike, you "just do it".

In my case, I've always had a full haid and balding in my family was later down the road. However, I was tired of the hirsute look and got my head shaved first to a #2 and then to a #1. Currently, I'm "near skin" with less hair than my 16-month old son has! I know that there will be folk (including my sweetie) who will be shocked at my new look.
But go for it bro! Don't ask, don't seek the opinions of non-baldies (or non-buzzies), just do it!
All the best!
