• I dont see anything wrong with the way you look. The buzzed look suits you, especially as its connected to your face fuzz.
  
  No idea what an HT is.

• HT = hair transplant
  
  I also hate being a white guy with a shaved head. People are already calling me a skinhead and I feel like darker skinned people the shaved head blends so much better on.

• You're practically there now.  If you shave it will only take 2-3 days tops to grow back to where it is now.  It's a no-lose proposition.  And as Chavster said, there's nothing wrong with how you look.

  Oh. Why the hell would anyone want one of those?

  Hmmm. When are we (as a human race) ever going to learn to be happy with what we've been given?

• You are a very handsome guy and the short buzz looks great. You have a very strong jaw that matches your nose, a really strong well balanced face. Do not even think of an HT... I did and still regret it.... These days 35% of men are tightly buzzed or head shaved. It works perfectly on you. Try a 3 day weekend and smooth shave and I bet you will like it. 35% of guys cant be wrong! You must see  shaved or tight buzzes everyday where ever you live, right ?

• Like others have said, you are basically there. Shave your head with a razor after work on Friday and it will almost be where you are now by Monday morning. You will be amazed at how quickly hair grows!
  
  I personally think that you will look pretty good with a razor shaved head. The least you can do is try it out and see what you think. I will warn you though, once you shave it with a razor it will be hard to go back to shaving with clippers!

• You can give a shave a try just to see how good it feels...dare to be different.

• Less hair on top; more hair down below.  That's my suggestion.  Of course, I might be prejudiced (see my photo).
  
  As is, your look seems neither here nor there.  It seems tentative.

• You look good with the shaved look.
  
  As previously mentioned try shaving on a Friday and see how you like it. It's only hair and it'll grow back before you know it. It feels so much better when it's shaved.

• i had hair of that length in college and earned the nickname of cue ball.   I loved it.  Now being much older i shave my head with no regrets.  I am white also.  Professional occupation.

• Hi twhacker,
  
  you have nothing to worry about.
  Your headshave looks fine, like it does for most others who worried about it.
  Many guys worry about their headshape, but once you try, you will see, that there was no reason.
  
  Your clippershaved head looks good and blends well with your beard.
  And as the others said:
  You're almost there, so you might as well try it on a weekend and you'll be back to the clippershaved length by monday.
  
  For me:
  I tried the shaved head once, about 2 or 3 years ago, and didn't like the look on me at first and let it grow out again to clippershaved, or 3mm.
  
  But eventually I got back to shaving it smooth and liked it when I tried it again and now I am hooked. ;-)
  
  Regards

  Others have posted concerns with being mistaken for a "skinhead" because they shave their heads. On the surface watch your choices in attire. Doc Marten's with red laces and bomber jackets may be an invitation to trouble.
  
  The other part is the attitude that you project. I doubt that anyone would figure the Dalai Lama for a skinhead. Aside from his Buddhist attire he projects an attitude of caring for his fellow man and a relaxed nature attributable to his level of enlightenment. In public be helpful to others, hold open doors, remember that everybody you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Remember that other peoples' opinion of you has very little, if anything, to do with you.
  
  And as you said, an HT costs $15K, a HeadBlade costs $12.99. Remember that this is nothing more than a haircut. You can always spend the $15K later if sly just doesn't work for you.
