Hey! I'm 150 lbs. LOL..but I'm short.

I say shave it...I think you'll look better without the hair, and most likely it will make you look younger.

Hi Stan and welcome to our community.

I think you'd look great sly. Just clip it on down and enjoy the freedom.

Welcome Stan, it's great to have you with us, looking at your pic, sly will really suit!

Welcome to the forum Stan. All the bro's have given you great advice. I will only add that you go ahead and shave it before you go on vacation, give yourself a chance to get used to it.
During your vacation you will feel more confidence than ever and you'll look forward to shaving every day.

Put the new you out there; stand tall and proud and show off the smooth dome!

Welcome to the bald brotherhood Stan. You have the face and the head for it. August is just a few days away. Happy shaving.

Hi Stanley,  I will have to agree with the guys try the 30 day rule.  I have been shaving my head for a very long time and I believe I get more looks from women and men and smiles too with a bald head.  Good luck and post a pic when you have done the deed.

Hey guys,

I know it's been a looooong time, but I had some career stuff that kept me from shaving my head: I worked in a small law firm (potential employer) the last three months and just had my final oral examination, so I didn't want to take any chances - the law crowd is quite conservative in general, sadly.

Well, after some negotiation today, it seems very likely that the potential employer will be my actual employer in January (yay), so I figured I could give this sly thing a try finally. If shtf, the hair will be back in January (had a buzz cut anyway, lately), so I did it.

Well, it still burns a bit, and it seems like I have some bumps on my head I didn't notice before, but hey, I feel pretty good in general. I'll definitely shave it a few more days and wait and see how it feels in daily life. I'll let my facial hair grow out too.

If I decide to keep it like this in the long run, I'll let it grow out to a few mm until January and gradually buzz it shorter until I'm ready to go completely sly again. My (potential) new employer does not seems to care that much about formalities (one associate is sporting a power donut, a full beard and an earring), but a drastic change like this might be too much in the beginning, so I'll take it slow.

Will post some pics once the redness is gone! 

It's definitely a great experience and I think every man should shave his head even once in his life. Liberating, that's for sure. 

Best Regards!

I agree with the views that a buzzcut can make a MPB look intense . Personally like a guy with a shaved MPB and woul be ok with that look meself goo all the way i guarantee girls will luv it , ignore rude people thaey are not your friends .

Glad you made the leap, apparently bald headed men are considered more powerful and trustworthy when compared to balding men (can't remember the university that did the study), so it's definitely good in your line of work!

Thanks, guys! Few reactions: A male friend of mine said it looks "fresh", a female friend said it looks "somewhat sexy". I even showed it to my mother, and after the first shock, she said it was "okay". Who would have thought.

I feel more comfortable minute by minute, even the massive shark-fin-like protrusion on top of my skull doesn't bother me any more - it's not like I looked like Brad Pitt before.

Stanley, glad you did it, it looks good.
IMO it's a professional haircut. It's a keeper.

[Slyfive]

definitely a keeper, and if that's a 'shark fin' then I'm the queen of sheeba.
