ok so i have gotten more and more used to the look...at first i wont lie it was tough...but i think that is normal?  maybe just for some.  But now i think it kinda is growing on me...as is my hair.  I havent clipped it.  Its been 1.5 weeks.  The back and sides are darker and thicker (no surprise)...my question is...do i just no guard/shave it all? or grow it back? i am getting married in 2 weeks so i am just thinking about both what i really want and also do i wanna be sly for wedding pics...will it look better/worse/same?
reactions from ppl have been generally good...or none at all...dont think iveheard anything bad.

what would you do for your wedding day??

she thinks i look good with longer thin hair or a 1 guard or a cat on my head...she doesnt care...which makes it tougher for me lol i want an opinion other than my own...its either...clean shave/no guard - or fuzzy receding buzz

While I think you should shave, I don't know that I would before the wedding.  Better to stick with what you know works, so I would go for the tight buzz again.

I would go clean shaven to be quite honest. With the beard, especially if you grow it out a little bit, that's gonna be one clean and awesome look for your wedding and wedding pictures. New life, new start, new look! Seems like a win win to me.

Sounds like you are a very fortunate man, sir. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.

i want an opinion other than my own...its either...clean shave/no guard - or fuzzy receding buzz

As partial as I am to the shaved look, my concern would be for how your dome will appear in the wedding photographs. If the formally hairy areas are paler than the rest of your head and face, it might not be how you and your bride want your appearance on that day to be recorded for posterity.

The short buzz looks good on you. If you are not evenly tanned up there, that may be a better look for the pictures.

I'd vote for the clean shaved head for the wedding.

Looks good in the photos.  I was in a wedding this summer and sported a shaved head. I wasn't the groom. Father of the bride.  The shaved head looked good in the photos if I have to say so myself.  The shaved head does not have a scruffy look. 

The shaved head does not point out or draw attention to any thinning hair.  It just looks like you are in charge. 

Unless bride is strongly opposed, I'd go for the shaved head.

Cave dweller brought up a good point with the lack of color on your head I would stick with a short but buzz for your wedding day

I would say no guard buzz with short beard as per your picture 9th January as

1) It really suits you
2) You have got used to that look now and you want to feel comfortable on your wedding day.

Hey. So it's been a while since January. I ended up growing it back. Turns out I hate it longer. I went today and got a 0 guard into a 1 fade on the side...and a 3 on top. I probably could go shorter...not sly sly because I love the fuzzy feeling for now..but what do you think? Sorry it's sideways
