Edit: Well I finally shaved it today

[Mike E. P.]

There's not much difference in the two photos, so why keep the stubble? Shaved it all off; that's what I do.

[Sath]

I do want to do it atleast ONE time, but my family hates the stubble as it it, god knows i wont hear the end of it if i shave it off lol

Who knows, i might do it sooner than i thought, atleast just one time to see how it goes, will see how what happens.

[DoberDaddy]

Your head shape is fine... you really should just go ahead and shave it smooth!

[reddog]

With your black hair, it will grow back to stubble in about 3 days.

[Sath]

Yeah thats the thing, i have thick dark hairs (excluding the thin areas) and fast hair growth, within a few days it will show turn into the same no-guard stubble trim.

There is 3 things i think about though...

1. courage to do it, it may look great from the front, but from the side it may look somewhat different what i imagine it to be.
2. not to cut my head lol
3. constant nitpicking from family and relatives until it grows back.

Well I finally shaved it after i came home from the gym...

The front image looks exactly like how the photoshop turned out.
But the sides, i dont know, was hard to imagine that but this is the result. Tbh i am 50/50 on it, i kind of liked the stubble more. Since i shaved it now i am gonna see how many days it goes buy until i get the no-guard trim stubble out of it, my guess is probably 5 days or so.

Yes the feeling AFTER adding some moisterizing cream to smoothen the head is great thats a given.

My family hasent seen me just yet since its in the morning, its going to be interesting, but i know they will hate it alot since they already disliked the stubble look.

PS. I didnt shave my stubble sides on my face, doing it later so dont mind the silly look lol

OMG....you look like....how do I put it....you look like a regular guy who shaved his head....as for the side shot....it looks like you....but from the side....apply the 30 day rule...and the only thing you'll be worrying about is....(join in with me brothers) "why didn't I do this sooner"

[Sath]

I had a hard time adjusting to the stubble look, this shaved look is bakc to square one if i decide to do it.
My mom and sister really dont like it, my sister said i look like a sick person   and my mom said grow it atleast back to the stubble...basically nothing but complete shave.

But I dont know, i might go back to the no-guard trim, yet to decide, but i am leaning towards that one.

[Magoo]

Nothing wrong with the no guard trim #0. Presently that's my preference.

Sash, well, I think it's great that you shaved, even if you don't keep shaving for at least 30 days.  I think it looks very good, but you have to do what you think is best.

[Sath]

Atleast i can say i went with the ultimate "haircut", head shaving lol
I think a guy who is balding but still can do stubble look, shaving atleast ONE time in their lifetime should be done IMO.

Keeping it or not is another matter.

[Frontier Guy]

Everyone has an opinion, including me.

I think the clean look is far better. I heartily encourage you to give the 30 day challenge a try - allow yourself and family/friends 30 days to adjust to the new look. The difference between the stubble and the shaved look, to me, is that you appear more "in control" and intentional. Another way I saying "confident" I suppose.

[Sath]

I got a few days to decide if i want to keep it or not until the stubble shows up again.

One advantage I got to get adjusted easier and quicker to the shaved one is I already knew the shape of my head before shaving its just shinier now and no more "black outlines" as one of the members here said, the stubble is one step behind shaving.

[reddog]

I think the shaved head looks great! It makes a statement. I'll bet you will constantly be thinking about shaving it again. One way to get family and friends to quit commenting is to just keep it shaved. A couple of my friends that hated my bald look, no longer even comment.

Sath, no matter which route you take going forward, at least you can say that you did it instead of wondering "what if". You look great sly; nice tan, BTW!
