Enough to keep the bald fade or just go back to skin bald?

[BaldJJ]

Hey Sly guys,

I need your opinions on this one. I've been back and forth a few times on this one and can't seem to decide.  I find most of the bald guys that I see who pull it off real well really have more of that horeshoe type or have really nothing left on top and for me, it's more receding in the front. What do you think? Enough left on top to go with the bald fade or time to just embrace the true slyness and continue to shave daily?

Thanks,

J

Dude !  That is awesome jawline pencil thin beard ... I am jealous ! 

Bald fade or skin bald ... you are at that last lucky stage ... do both until you feel comfortable with totally sexy sly look !  Go for it !

[Razorhead]

Both are great looks for you. You could shave for the spring and summer and keep the fuzz for winter. Your skin fade is a good length though....you can shave and have that length on top back in a week or two. If you have fuzz on top in the summer you may not get an even tan.

Agreed......your chin strap looks great.

I think both of them look good, the chinstrap accentuates it.

[Lynchy]

I think they both look good, but I imagine the bald fade is a PITA to maintain?

[Frontier Guy]

Although both work well, I think the fade looks better at this point.

But, to me, that seems like more work and I personally would go for a skin smooth shave.

Honestly I like the sly look with the chin strap beard.  Very Sexy!  IMHO 

[clarinetguy]

Totally sly is my vote- you can play with the facial hair easily.,

Both looks really work on you. I do prefer the fuller beard.

Hairwise, If your hair is receeeding, my only suggestion would be make the most of it whilst you have it and unless it bothers you, don't feel to have to rush to a totally bald bonce.

You look good either way man, but personally my vote is for the chrome dome + full beard combo - more rugged and looks easier to maintain.

I like both and think both are excellent looks.  If you don't mind the upkeep associated with the keeping the fade looking sharp, then by all means go for it.  Like others have said, I'm absolutely loving the crisp, lined up facial hair.  I'm trying to keep a tight goatee but I like your chin strap better.

I'm going to vote for shaved bald. Slick smooth every day.  The fade is OK, but I really like the smooth, shiny dome.  I think it really sets apart and looks manly and bold.  

I think the fade would be a lot of work to keep up.  Shaved completely bald is a quick zip of the razor each morning. Much easier to do.

I really wouldn't notice the difference unless I were on this forum.  So do what feels best to you - in terms of your time, the feel, and your appreciation of your appearance.

Both look great!

I think your avatar picture looks great but I think its also the beard which I like better in the first picture
