Should I or should I not?

I assume since you are asking on this site, you already want to shave and are looking for reassurance.  So my suggestion is to go ahead and shave now, get it over with, and put an end to the struggle.  Of course, keep the beard.

I agree.  It doesn't look bad now but it is going to get worse and you want to shave before it starts looking really bad.  If you're thinking about it, it's probably time to do it.  Once you do, the angst is gone.

Great beard, BTW.

Welcome,

I don't think it's that bad, but I understand how it feels to have your buddys making fun of you about it.  I think if you buzz or shave it and leave the beard, you will look so bad-ass, they will be jealous.

*I'm sure they will have comments that will seem like they are making fun of you, but deep down, they will be jealous of your boldness more than anything else.

you will never know until you  do it.  so do it.

Hey dude, you got a good face and head shape to rock a shaved head, you already got the good beard genes so you lucked out in that aspect.

It wouldn't be the worst idea to try buzzing it down shorter, you'll probably be needing to go full shave within about 2 years anyway. So might as well take it shorter while you still have some hair up there. Best of luck whatever you do.

I am 21 years old and on the fence about shaving my head and could use some suggestions.  My hairline has been thinning and receding for years now and now it is pretty darn bad.  I am pretty self conscious about my hair too. I literally wear a hat everywhere I go and sometimes skip out on things that requires me to go somewhere where I cant wear a hat.  All my buddies make fun of my hair and I am pretty tired of it.  I am a pretty pale person so I know my head is gonna be super white but I just dont think I can continue with this hair the way it is.  I have never shaved my head before so thats why I am very nervous about doing it for the first time.

Any tips or reccomendations would be great. Thanks!

I agree with the others, give it a shot, but KEEP THE BEARD, beard is awesome!

Don't be nervous about shaving your head for the first time. You will like it and others will soon be used to your bald head combined with the perfect full beard. The bald and bearded look will suit you.
