Hi Guys
Semi-Sly:
Hello Jack
I?ve looked at your photos and you still have a bit of hair, although it is clearly noticeable to have profuse thinning.
It might look better if it was a shorter buzz cut it would look less thin and patchy ??-but do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
I think you owe it to yourself to give a shaved had to try because it would look in my opinion better than what you?ve got going now.
And remember that if you do, you must commit to the 30 day rule that you have to keep it shaved for 30 days before you make a decision as to whether or not you want to grow hair back that way you can make a recent response rather than a reactive Knee-jerk response.
Smooth Jack 😁:

Thanks for the welcome everyone! ...and sage advice.
Which thinking about I realise I still have adequate coverage (when the is hair longer) to appreciated the keratin a while longer. Certainly a shock seeing the lightness and pattern though at a conservative #4 clipper. So more length on top might help the situation which is the opposite of what I initially thought
Unfortunately I cant grow a full beard - which is a bummer for the future and the way our necks tend to go! - I'm not really partial to a goatee, although my stubble does form the beginnings one. O2BSly, if I could grow a beard I would probably just shave the head now! But alas.
Again thanks for everybody's time and input!

Yes Jack, don't jump into it! Try some different things, but when you decide to try shaving, definitely do the 30 day trial. It takes time for you and others to adjust.
One thing I tell guys, if you see guys with shaved heads and think it looks good, then you will probably like it. I know when I grow my hair back, the hardest thing is when I see baldies, I envy them and want to shave my head smooth! An added bonus beside the trendy look, is how a freshly shaved head feels amazing.

Good advice. Though #0.5 blade on top would be near good as bald for me, as my hair is fine and fair. I'm thinking either grow a bit of length back on top and tighten the sides as one path you suggest. Or tighten the sides while bringing the sunroof down to 1.5# or even #1 to perhaps get some uniformity and get used to the concept of "real" super short. Last week I thought #4 was short!
O2BSly:
Sounds like a good plan Jack O0
Yes I also thought #4 was short when I first started buzzing, eventually settled on a 1.5 or 2 as my go-to buzz
