For guys with thinnign hair and its not shocking but still obviously thinning
Is it really true that buzzing down to a number 2 or 1 makes it less obvious really or does it heighten the obviousness
Your thoughts as I am sure there are alot of guys on here who did the transition thing

I buzzed from a #4 on 9/7/07 to a 0 on 10/11/07 and shaved that morning. Never regreted anything but the delay--do this you will and can be free of the angst.

No it hides it in a way since your hairs so short no one really notices vs. having your hair grown out and the thin gaps look obvious.

Fk my stupid HT scar!!!!
Sorry guys had to just say that
All my uncles are older (obviously) over 50 bordering 60 with huge balding thinning and spots. Wouldnt it be cool to be the first total shaved guy ;) Gotta grow some nuts

Being the first you could start a cool trend in your family. O0

It depends on how thin your hair has become. There comes a time when you've lost so much hair that nothing disguises it -- and you are going to be showing a lot of scalp whether or not you buzz your hair. If the thinning is only moderate then buzzing it tends to de-emphasize the balding areas.
But the truth is, all of this is really irrelevant. Your hair is thinning and will continue to thin. You're going to end up buzzing it sooner or later. Postponing the inevitable just gives you more time to worry and obsess over it. If you get it over with now, then you've dealt with it, you feel much better and you move on. Yes, it can be a little scary, but it won't be any less scary in the future. The biggest regret most people have is not buzzing or shaving their hair sooner. So learn from the mistakes of others, don't repeat them.

Balding is very common, but I think people draw more attention to themselves if they let their hair grow because the bald spot is more noticeable, and in my opinion, looks ridiculous.

I tend to think a buzz is slightly better than a comb-over, but it doesnt in my opinion hide the fact you're balding, just accentuates it. SLY can happen whether you're bald or not, but no one is going to buzz down and leave bald patches in between on purpose, so it sort of shows up the bald patches more, IMO 8)
