Ultimately it's your decision. When I first informed people that I was considering shaving my head I was met with criticism and the standard eww bald guys are gross. Well I shaved my head anyway and practically all of those nay sayers changed their tune and said I looked good with a shaved head.
I think you look fine. To thine own self be true.
Your friends will get used to your clipper shave if you stick with it. I vary from #1 in the winter to #0A, all the way down to #000000 & occasional razor shaves in the summer. Recently, a neighbor commented that he "really could not remember what I looked like before I shaved my head". Since I don't regularly razor shave, I generally do not consider myself as having a "shaved head", although I know that the general population would consider anyone with a #1 or less buzz as having a shaved head.
You look very great with a smooth bald head. Don't worry about keeping it. Your friends will forget to complain, and will forget how you looked before
It looks good shaved.
Have you been keeping it smooth?
Do what makes you happy and confident. What bothers you more MPB or sly. And go from there.
