Thanks! I will admit it looks better than I thought and better than it did when I had long hair with a bald spot. Just wanna see if I like this better than the 2 blade. I'll try a razor next to see what it looks like but I like this better than the razor due to ease of shaving.

 i’m pretty sure that it will look a lot better to you when you shave with a razor because it all the color will be luniform.  You might  want to try re-shaping you  beard a bit because righ now your beard makes the bottom half of your face look wider than the top - thus giving the false impression that your head is narrow and “pointy” as you said.  There’s nothing at all wrong with the shape of your head you might want to try taking the sides of your beard in a little bit I’m leaving the length of the bottle with a beard narrow the whole bottom half of your face and make it fit the same width as the rest of your head.  just a thought from a barber!

You look great with a shaved head and beard.

Enjoy the fact that you have a new look that works for you and get on with life.

You are lucky it works for you!  :)

I was thinking the same thing about the beard. I'm going to trim it down some. I'm getting use to the head shape but it didn't help my mother said I look like a white supremacist. Definitely not the look I'm going for

Ahggg, mothers are the absolutely worst critics when their sons shave their head! Don't worry, she might not like it, but she'll get used to it. Stick with it, you look good!

Never listen to your mother’s opinions about a shaved head.  They are inevitably negative.

looks really good. your head is so normal, btw. trust me, you'll grow to love it. and with that, any anxiety of loosing hair become history. it's really liberating.

Looks great,  a definite keeper.  Just stick with it it will take you and your mother a while to get used to it but it will be worth it.

Looks great.  Try not to trim too much from the beard - take it slow.
