It's a little long but no reason not to shave I feel you want to. We all have cosmetic flaws and we are all our own worst critics.   No one else is going to dwell on it the way you do.

All your photos are from one angle, people don't see use this way. There are certain angles  on myself that are not favorable. To give you a truthful answer , front  and other other angels needed.

I posted only pictures from the side because that's the issue that I have, my head is unusually long from front to back. Even though, as u can see, some pictures make it look smaller, while other show it's real form which is very long.. I currently use grade 4 or 5 to buzz my hair because I think the no-guard buzz it's not flattering for me. Do you agree?
Anyway, here's a picture from the front

The front photo looks great . The side I would agree with your assessment . But on myself the side  is  also not my best.  It's the overall look that we see not one bad angle . You will be fine buzz cut or shaved .

My opinion is that since your hair is dark to leave it with just a bit of length. A shaved head with dark stubble isn't something that I would want. My hair, what is left of it, is very grey and even by the next morning my head looks shaved but not as shiny.

That's just my take on things. Overall every pic looks good.

Welcome, Kimak!

First off, you have some nice beard coverage

Secondly, this may sound a little weird, but I too have one of those "extended" craniums. But if you go all the way, it actually may make your head look a little less extended out. I've seen guys with coneheads actually look less like coneheads once they went all the way. Give it a try and if you don't like it, you should be back to where you were in a couple of weeks. Best of luck!

I can sort of see what you mean but its only in some of the photos, so its no big deal. As semi sly says maybe it will look less sly.  only one way to find out.........

On the 3rd photo it is buzz cut with 0 guard and it still looks the same. I probably have scaphocephaly.. it sucks.

If you don't like it shaved, it will grow back to the 0 buzz length and under a week.  Just give it a try.

Scaphocephaly , don't think so .   That would take a medical diagnosis I would suggest.

 Well I am a barber your dear is my honesty Opinion:

 First get over these weird notions about your head shape your head is just plain nobody has a perfectly round head if your head were perfectly round it would look silly

Second your hairline is not so far receded that you MUST shave, with you it's a matter of  whether you choose a shaved head or choose to have some hair.  You could choose to keep a buzz cut or you could probably even pull of the flat top or a comb-over Mm third in my opinion however you look damn good with either a zero buzz or better yet shaved  Nice and completely bald    Whichever you choose please resist the temptation to grow a beard at the very most you could have the stubble in a very neatly trimmed short mustache beard will just make you look like you're trying to compensate for something "else ".

 When did you do what I did while I still had some here I would part of the year shaved nice and clean bald and part of the year with the Flattop it was fun to change it up but I always kept coming back to bald .   No it is no  longer a choice for me I don't really have enough hair to Lake and look nice when it grows out but I've had fun with it and I'm really comfortable if you clearly shaven head but if you do it remember to deserve the 30 day rule you owe it to yourself to try it

 Third
