Should I shave? (Pics)

[Swamp Swagger]

I'm 23 an having been getting a bad receding hairline an I'm thinning on top. My dad is bald so I'm stuck with my fate an I'm not really disappointed, but I just can't decide what a good look is for me. Been just keeping it really short but I think it looks dumb an when I go to shave it unguarded my girl, brother, ect talk me out of it.

She don't really care but she thinks I would just look to weird an look like I have cancer if I did it lol. Be as honest as ya want

You will look great. Mpst guys buzz down these day. Try a no. 1 buzz first. Never let anyone control your haircut but you.

Thanks see the one in the pic is a number 2. I guess it's that first doing it an then taking people's first reaction that make it hard.

I'm going to recommend that you go for it.  A smooth head feels very nice.

Looks sharp, too.

This next week while you are out and about, notice the number of guys who shave their heads bald, or have extremely short buzzes.  It's not just the policemen.  Young and old.  It's a very good hairstyle for men - shaved bald.  Clears up the issue with ugly looking thinning hair.

Welcome mate,

Give it a go, if you don't like it, it will grow back within a few weeks!

Good luck!

Good advice, take it. Your reaction/shock and that of others only lasts a while. I've been shaving my head for so long that now, if I let grow back whatever is there, it would be seen as strange. At your age, in two years few will remember when you had hair as so much has already receded. You're a good looking man, enhance that. PJ

Good luck!

Welcome to SBG !  Try going #1, then #000, then razor smooth if you don't want to razor right now.  Hair grows back and it's yours and nobody else owns your handsome look !  Keep us posted !

Welcome, Swamp Swagger! You took a big step by admitting that baldness is probably in your future. You definitely should try sly for 30 days (if you don't like it, you can always grow it back) Good luck!

[baldjoeg]

Welcome. Why not give it a try. Give it 30 days. You can always grow it back if you don't like nit.

[Swamp Swagger]

Thanks for all the opinions guys I really appreciate it. I think I'm gonna go for it..

Thanks again

[Papa Don]

Welcome and it is your head.  Do what you will.  Like the others have said, you won't regret it.

There's no down-side. If you don't like it (unlikely) it grows back!

Sly Bear said it all - - -It grows back  - - -give it the 30 days and you will never be sorry    There is nothing like  being SLY BALD.   Enjoy it.
