what should I do?? and what about the stache?
-
Clearly you would be bald by choice. (At least it looks like you have a lot of hair from your Avatar pic.) But, it's summer. Now is the time to shave it. And my advice on the stache is to ditch it or grow a goat or full beard. Just my own personal opinion.

Shave the dome--but you knew that would be the overwhelming answer here anyway, didn't you? >:D
On the facial hair, obviously a whole lot of sly guys do some facial hair thing. Try out some different looks, let a pretty full goat grow out--a month or two at least, then trim back to the stache to see if that's what you want or if your happy with a goat & stache at any point stick with it while you like it. If you've noticed this whole thing is about you and what feels best to you. If you're satisfied that will show through in everything else you do. Have fun, enjoy the ride, live Sly.

Beard: Try and see what's the best look for vou (as Saintc wrote).

In the simple words given to me by PigPen when I asked the same question......."Shave it"
-

Ditto.

My vote is:
Head - shave it. It will look much better 'clean'. IMO, the dark 1mm stubble looks dirty. If you don't like the slick, SLY look of BBC, then I would suggest a longer buzz or growing it out.
Face - some kind of facial hair. Moustache, Goatee, full beard -- whatever you like. But I've always had some type of facial hair. Reg stache, handlebar, fu-man, full beard, and now goatee. So I'm partial to facial hair.
It's all hair, and for some will always grow back... so give it a try.
-
You look good with or without hair, both on the head and the face. So just about anything you do would be fine. (Except that a mustache without a beard or a goatee isn't considered stylish anymore.)
-
shaved head and mustache is a good look for you!!!
try shave ur head and keep the stache!!!
-
not crazy about the stache.
-
Shave it ALL off smooth bro...
that really is a good look for you! O0
-
mate you look good as in that last photo - go for that style
-
I'm with SlyintheOC. With your dark hair, it does look dirty. I say shave it nice and smooth. A far cleaner look. As far as the facial hair, again, this is a personal preference. I say a longer goat and mush.
-
I'm with Baldandre on this one. Shave the head and give it thirty days for you to make up your mind on how you feel about it. Shave the face while you're at it and just worry about getting the sly look down for now. Just my opinion
-
Go for bald, buddy. The goat is best for facial hair.
-
Thinking about buzzing it without a guard tomorrow. my friend says I look like a cancer patient without hair... and I don't want to look bad. But every time a bald or buzzed man passes by i ask myself "why not buzz it too?" it's an urge I cannot overcome.
-
it's an urge I cannot overcome.
Then you gotta do what you gotta do. ^-^
From your photo, you've got a decent looking dome; it will look great scraped clean. Remember it will only take a couple of days to grow back to 1 mm if you don't like it, so what do you really have to lose?

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. Oscar Wilde
My sentiments exactly.

i just got a haircut last week. very short sides. but somehow that's not enough. sure everybody will ask why I buzzed it right after paying for a haircut. but I like myself better with nearly no hair. on the other hand I don't want to look like a cancer patient. I want to look tough, that would be ok.
-

How many of the guys here look like cancer patients to you?

I confess, I don't understand the desire to look "tough." Why would you want to assume an appearance that would be offputting to many people. It doesn't seem natural to me. Almost all of us are social animals in some sense, some more so, some less. But everyone needs some association w/ other people. Why "tough?" :/O :/O :/O
