There is nothing wrong with how you look and you are almost there.  I'm the type of person that doesn't really care what other people say.  To hell with everyone else, I'm comfortable bald whether they like or not.  Just shave it and give it a try.  Like everybody else says, you'll like it and will keep it.

I definitely advise against the HT. There is nothing wrong with your look.  You just need some confidence.

I agree with the other guys. Go for it. It will always grow back in a couple od days if You don't like it. I don't see anything wrong with the shape of your head.

The feel of a completely shaved head is altogether different than the feel of a tight buzz.  And a bald dome feels great!  You'll never know what it feels like if you don't try it.  So give it a go.  It'll grow back fast enough if you decide against the bald look.

Man, not telling you what to do, but I was in the same boat.  I love the slick look.  I thought the little bit of hair felt good, but man, its better to shave it.

Hi,

you can use a regular razor like a mach3 or a fusion.
I recommend to do it in the shower and to let the warm water soften the stubble from your clippershave.
You can use shaving cream or gel (a matter of taste), and don't put to much pressure on the razor, to prevent you from cutting yourself.
And a aftershavebalm doesn't burn, as regular aftershave might.

Regards

For your first shave I'd use a regular stick cartridge razor like a Fusion if it's available to you.  The HB has many fans but even they will admit it can be a learning curve.  Get a good hot shower and shampoo--leave the conditioner on your head.  Fresh blade, take your time and enjoy--this will be a really memorable event for you and a pleasant one too.

You look awesome with the buzzed look and I am sure that you will look great shaved. No worries, man! Keep a little facial hair, it will help. Best of luck to you!

Looks fantastic to me.  It's normal to be unsure about it in the beginning.  That's where the 30 day rule comes in.  And don't worry about what your mom thinks.  You're not trying to look good for her.

Wife here....   In the first photos you posted, I did not notice the hair at all but your eyes!  You have beautiful eyes and the lack of hair distraction brings them out nicely.  Having grown up in redneck country, I understand your concern but think that you were given good advice about confidence.

My husband had long hair and went bald just like that - no transition.  I told him I'd give it 6 months for me to get used to.  Truthfully, it did take me a couple of months to get used to it.  Now I love it, love to shave it for him and get annoyed when he lets it grow....
