Well I Guess My Question Is Obvious Right?

• Morning y'all,
  Trying to figure out if I can pull this Sly look off. Just got this cut today, a low bald fade with a blur length on top. As I said in my introduction post, the attached pic is the lowest I've cut my hair since elementary school. I typically keep my hair at wave length or a bit longer so going bald will truly be by choice. I am a bit concerned because I have a prominent brow (which I don't care for & I can't tell if the pics are really showing it), sloped forehead and I think years of wearing durags and wave caps have given me wrinkles on the dome. *chuckle* I've never seen anybody near my head shape that was bald or BBC so I don't know what do y'all think?
  
  Oh the link is how I typically keep my hair.
  

  
   
  I think that's all unless y'all got any other questions for me or need another picture. I'll go read the SLY Affirmations again awaiting your responses.
  Thanks!

• The photos with the tight buzz look great. You'll have no problem going sly. And your head shape is normal. Good luck and post pics when you do the deed!

• Welcome! To me that bald fade looks so close to sly, most people couldn't tell the difference. The beard you have now would go well with a sly head. Good luck!

• Hi SJB:  Welcome to the sly fraternity.  Glad that you joined us.  I say that you should "do the deed" and shave your dome.  I know that you will look like a natural.  Keep us posted to your road to slyness.

• I think the bald fade looks good on you, and I think you would look equally good just bald.  Your dome looks well within the realm of "normal" to me.

• Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Its so much information here I'm slightly...ok very overwhelmed. I have no idea of where to start past buzzing off the rest of my hair. I spent a lot of time just looking at y'alls shaving routines and I am still overwhelmed. Can you tell I over think a lot & prefer less options? One thing I am sure of is that I'm terrified of getting ingrowns and razor bumps. Its the very reason I kept a beard since I was 16, but I digress. Any suggestions on what I should get and use for "The First Shave." {sidebar, You'd think that would be a pinned thread on here right?} I'd go sly tomorrow if I knew what I was doing and doing it right. I need a tutor! Anybody near atlanta wanna help a guy go sly? LOL!
