Welcome! No harm in giving the buzz and/or sly a try... If it doesn't work out, you can always grow it back!

Welcome! 

I think going with a short buzz to start and leaving the beard is the best option... and I think it will look great.

so, the update!  As per the recommendations, made a trip to the barber to day and I'm very much pleased with the final product.  He did jolly good work working with what hair I have left, while leaving it buzzed short but also managing to cover some of the balding spot on top of the head.  I'd like to thank you gents for your advice and encouragement.  I mean, it is just a buzz cut, but it's a cut that I actually never had in my adult life.  You all have my thanks.

Wow!  Definitely proves the saying; "less is more".  The shorter the hair on the back and sides lets the hair on top look more full.

I would say that you look "right" this way.  People's eyes are not "drawn" to your hair now.  Your eyes have once again taken command of our face.

Good on you for taking charge of your appearance and having the courage to change!

A shaved head is very liberating and looks and feels good. I've shaved mine steady now for 6 months, had been on and off the past few years, and feel great with it shaved. There are so many guys embracing the look as well. It actually becomes part of who you are and you begin to embrace it.

I can only echo the gentlemen before me, Sch openbard, when I say you made an excellent choice/change. It works very well for you, sir.

Depends on what they mean by long on top, i would try fading it from a zero to a one or one and a half,  you may have better luck getting a good fade at a black barber shop.  Thats what i used to do, not being racist or :-) anything....they just seem to be :-) way better at it lol
