The Sly look suits you. Be confident in your convictions. A Sly dome is the best way to go!

If you are thin on top at 20 then you'll be sporting less and less by the time you reach thirty. You are brave to make the decision now. Get it off and keep it off. If others don't like it then they can look the other way.

I think you look great with it totally shaved.  The sooner you shave it all off the sooner you get used to the idea of being bald.  You just gotta jump in...the water's fine.

Keep it shaved man you'll feel alot better after you do. I notice that when your thinning and you look in the mirror you stress so much about it, but if you shave it off sure you'll see a shadow but you really don't care. An when you feel that you look good again all the confidence will come back and the ladies love a confident man.
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the Past better than it was,
the Present worse than it is & the future less resolved than it will be.

Dude... it looks awesome!!  Congratulations on the best decision you'll ever make! I'm late on this thread, but had to comment.  I was in the same boat, and actually shaved it all off at 19 years old... the summer before my sophomore year in college.  I remember being SO self conscious when I first did it.  And once my friends at home got somewhat used to it, I had to go face all my new college friends.....and go through it all over again. 

"Why'd you DO that?" was the response from most of my college buddies.  Especially since I was obsessive about gelling my hair (lame, I know).  It took me some time to adjust to a new identity, but I remember when I stopped stressing about it.  A hot chick 2 years older than me said, "you look better without hair".  After that, I just owned it.  It's all about being happy with yourself, and confident in your look.  It really does affect the way you carry yourself... and at the end of the day, even if people don't admit it, most everyone is impressed with such a bold, take-charge decision.  Not everyone has the courage.... so, well done man!  And welcome to the Sly family.

If you ever have questions about HeadBlade products, shoot me a note.  I've been a HeadBlader since 2005, and started working here this year.
