Welcome Steven, being a BBC guy, I can't give you insight on some stuff like the others can. However, I will tell you that everything you have been told is true. Not everyone may like it, but the important thing is how you feel about it. Like a couple of others have said, we're always more critical of ourselves than others. You could shave it down to a 1 or even no guard at all. That would give you a decent idea what you would look like SLY.
Glad our little corner of the web has been of use to you.
Steven,
We ARE generally our own worst critics. Your imperfection probably isn't as bad as you think, but no matter, thinning/balding is a worse look. Control what you can... shave it off, and get on with your life. You will never know how empowering you will feel. Today is a great day to do it too. You will always remember that you shaved your head on Leap Day. We're here for you, man.
-it's cooler and I sweat like a pig
Rodge, Are you a "sweat hog"??
Steven, it's only hair.
Just go for it. You have my guarantee that you'll be more than satisfied.
Veyron and Mike,
See you got your kids in your avatar too. Nice kids. 
Tmmmay, if Logan knew that you axed his mug, he'd be very mad. 
I DIDNT AX IT.....TYLER DID. So blame him ....LOL
Steven, welcome to the SBG's site bro, glad you deciced to come into our sly realm.
I am going to have to echo what all my bro's have already said and say just go for it.
The relief and freedom you will feel is very empowering.
Give it a try like PigPen said and buzz it down to a 1 or 0, get a feel for how you will look. If you are happy with that, I guarantee the bug will be in your head and it won't be long before you take it all off.
That seems to be how it goes for many of us, and I bet shortly after you do shave it all, you will be saying "why didn't I do this sooner".
Let us know how it goes for you.
Joe
