Do I Have a Dome For Shaving?

Hi,
I'm new here, and I really only have one question; does my head look good for shaving?
I typically cut my hair short; guard #2 or #3, because I have a receding hair line and a bit of thinning on the sides and the center.
Here's my little story. I was cutting my hair like I normally do, but I got curious to what I would look like with a shaved head.
I processed to cut until I had no guards on. And I thought I looked okay. The next day, I decided to shave my head, for the first time. First, I shaved with the grain. Then the next day, I shaved against the grain. Then today, I shaved against the grain, again.
I was wonder if I looked good with a shave head plus a beard. Is my head shape okay? I have some scars and dents on the back of my head from BMXing and other stuff kids/teenagers do. They're more noticeable with hair because no hair grows on the scarred area. I don't worry about them, though.
Here is a link to the Imgur album:
(ignore the discoloration)
Appreciate everyone who replies.

Oh, absolutely. You have one of the best-shaped heads I've seen in a long time. Your scalp looks fantastic scraped totally smooth.

As the gentlemen before me have said, there is nothing to worry about concerning your head's shape. You look fine, sir.
Welcome to the board.

Yikes. You have a perfect head for the SLY look. Very impressive!
If you are not shaved bald today, go for it asap. Stick around. Post often. Encourage others. Looks really good.

Your head looks perfect!
I was born with a flat head, so the OBGYN had to mold my skull with his hands. I do have a few irregularities, but no one would notice unless they knew.
You don't want to mess up that great skull with hair.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the great comments! And I thinking that I wouldn't look good with a shaved head. Mainly, because I was walking around town and I was getting more looks than usual. That might have been because of the discoloration on my head or they where thinking, "Wow! Now that's good looking guy!" I can only hope, anyway.
What's the fastest way to tan my head? Obviously, going outside. But are the tanning lotions permanent? How long does it take to rid myself of the discoloration?
Yesterday, when I was walking around for about 4 hours, I didn't get any tan, nothing. Does the scalp take longer to tan? Should I not put sunscreen on? I typically don't anyway and I don't get burnt.
I would shave my head today, but I need to let the razor burn on the left side and the back of my head heal.
What is the best shaving routine to avoid getting razor burn or any irritation?
My shower shaving routine;
1. Massage my head under warm to hot water, about 1 minute. (I did this because I didn't know what it would be like shaving my head and I was a little scared/excited.)
2. Wash head and beard with shampoo, then thoroughly rinse.
3. Leather up.
4. Shave against the grain with Gillette Mach3. No mirror, all by touch.
5. Feel around for ruff areas and make them smooth or smoother.
6. Massage in conditioner on my beard and head. Let the conditioner stay on while doing other shower stuff.
7. Thoroughly rinse off conditioner/body with cold water.
6. Pat dry the dome.
7. Massage in lotion while looking in the mirror making faces and enjoying the smoothness. (I don't like after shaves. Most of the them have alcohol in them which burns and dries out my skin. I was to be soothed, not have a burning feel, so lotions work best for me.)

As the others above stated ... you look great with the shaved head.
You may be feeling self-conscious about the new look and sensing that you are getting more notice because of it. Once you are comfortable with the "new you" I don't think you'll have that feeling any longer.
Welcome to the sly side.
