Pretty straightforward bro.  When you are posting a comment, hit the dropdown arrow next to Additional Options and then click the Browse button to attach a saved pic.  Keep in mind the pic(s) can be no bigger than 128KB for the entire post, so you might have to re-size your pic(s) to meet that requirement.

Sounds like you are ready, so why wait?  Head shape is just what it is, we all have a little different shape and we all think our head shape is odd.  Go ahead and do the deed for 30 days and get on with you life - no need to worry about it until summer.  So post us a picture with your first head shave and be proud of it.

Ok, so here are a couple pics of my head. I know it's not shaved, but you can see how my forehead kind of slopes up and back towards the back of my head. I also have sort of a diamond shaped narrow face. I would like some brutally honest opinions on my head shape. If it looks bad, I can take it, but would at least like some objective criticism. Thanks in advance.

Your head looks fine to me.  Of course, I could get a better look at if you shaved it!   ;D

Looks perfectly OK to me - we are always are own worst critic.  Your beard will be a definite plus when you decide to shave - just go for it.  Much better to shave before summer as it gives your head a chance to tan up and match the rest of your skin.

Yep. Just as you thought. You definitely are your own worst critic.

In all honesty, I saw your second picture first, so I missed your explanation of what you perceived as such a big flaw with your head. I could not tell on my own what was "wrong" with its shape. Then, when I read your explanation, I had to go back to try and see it. You have nothing about which to worry.

As you have said, you see the negative things about yourself that no one else can.

So calm down and shave it if you want to. You will look fine, sir.

You head seems just fine from all your pics. My own opinion would be clean up the beard some to show you jawline and strong chin/jaw. A length like Slymyke has in his pic looks great when shaved bald. Very crisp and aggressive somehow versus a longer beard. You will love the freedom of shaving when you finally do it.

Blimey, you have nothing to be concerned about. Perfect for a bald head. Plus the cool beard! Go for it! The only thing you will lose is your hair!

Everyone's head slopes back.  If your forehead did not ease off to become the top of your head, and then go down at the back, it would not exactly be a head-as-we-know-it.  Time to stop dithering, consider the good advice you've been given here, and do what you secretly want to do.  Trust us.  It'll be OK.

Man, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the encouragement. Everytime I start to feel a little down, I read these posts and immediately feel more confident. I think I'm almost ready. When I do it, I will post pics. Probably will do a 0 guard first to kind of work my way in before going completely sly. Thanks again, you guys are awesome.
