Looks great Eon! Keep it for 30 days. It's a pretty big change so it will take a bit of getting used to seeing yourself looking so different. Patience my Friend....

Chill, your head looks fine.  Why be another balding young man? That's much more noticeable and from further away than any perceived imperfection you see--no one else is noticing it.  You're too rough on yourself--keep it shaved, clean and bright.  Thirty days, then go back to be a balding young man, looking forty and caught up in an anxiety battle no one, not you or anyone, can win.  You're free.

I agree with the others... stay strong.  And try the blade; there is nothing like a smooth dome.  No lopsidedness that I can see; remember we are all our own worst critics.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Hey Eon !
Its Halloween time and that is best time to shave your head smooth and just tell everyone its pumpkin bald head time.  Keep it smooth for a month.   Give it a chance ... you have good looking face and upbeat personality ... just perfect for being bald !   ---Stasiu

haha oooook,  I shaved it down.  But I'm not doing it for 30 days, I'd rather be hairy balding and warm for one last winter. =P

It looks terrific, Eon.   O0  Now, having come this far, you owe it to yourself to live with the look for a while.  Give it 30 days -- that would bring you to the end of November, with plenty of time to grow back some fuzz for the winter, if you still want to.  If you can't commit to 30 days, then at least give it two weeks.

Eon:
You did what you said you were going to do, you have shaved it down, but in a larger sense you have now gotten in front of an issue that will continue whatever you do.  At some point in the relative near term you will be bald, a fringe, scraps, two hairlines when the island forms in front.  You are now dealing w/ an issue all of us w/ mpb faced when we cleaned up--it's the "Who's the dude in the mirror?"  Soon, very soon, if you keep shaving, that will pass.  What will happen in the next week or two will be a non-event to a whole lot of your friends and acquaintances, a disaster to some--mainly family, and compliments, lots and lots of compliments.  Now, for my own part, I really liked the compliments, not withstanding that  my wife never has really gotten to like it.  So I kept it, wished I had done it sooner--but I'm a good bit longer in the tooth than you are. 
In the final test, it must come down to you, what you're comfortable with.  Provided you don't take drugs or waste money on rugs, it's okay.  But if you do grow it out my reading here about the experience of others would lead me to place major money on a return to Sly, and a lot sooner than you would now think possible--but I'm not a betting man so don't ask me to put money on the table.  Just keep in your mind that every day, every night, more and more of the hairs on your scalp are going to go away, some you will see on the pillow in the morning, some will clog the drain in the bathroom.  You will have to pick a point where that is unacceptable, it's always going to be you.  So grow it back and learn to live with the anxiety that people realize the obvious, you're losing your hair, or get in front of it and live your life without the needless trauma to your life.  But it is entirely your choice.  Either way, hang around your bald buddies here, we'll support your decision.

Eon - looks great; give it 30 days of daily shaving, and you'll know for sure if it's a look you want to keep... or will you wait for the inevitable to happen, year after agonizing year.
