I took a deep breath, told myself everything would be OK, and then just did it. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. One of my friends thinks I look "badass". Still haven't gone out yet; preparing myself for looks and comments (potentially negative).
I think the thing that pushed me over the edge was seeing the top of my head from a bird's-eye view over a security camera feed where I work. Even looking badly bald would have to look better than that, I thought!

Good move, and as with 99.9% of guys with mpb looks like it works for you too. Enjoy the freedom of Sly!

Welcome and yes you look amazing , be happy

Perfectly natural to be apprehensive about others' reactions. I personally think it really suits you. Go out there and make the world get used to your new look (and outlook).
Yes, there is a certain degree of 'badassness' inherent with shaving one's head. I was told nearly the exact same thing by a friend soon after I first shaved.
Welcome to the sly club. Enjoy it!

The only persons opinion that matters is your own.

You should be preparing yourself for the potentially positive comments. Great sly look.

Wait for positivity to kick in because with a bald head comes a bold attitude.

Nothing to fear! Your head looks excellent. And the beard looks nice.
have fun when you go out. Put a smile on your face. (I know why you are staring at me ... you wish that you had the .... to shave your head too!).
Looks good doesn't it. You've earned the bald head! Show it off.

Slyfive summed it all up. Welcome to the bald brotherhood. You wear bald really well.

Welcome aboard!
It's a great look for you. And I know what you mean about the "overhead camera" thing; that helped push me over the edge too.
And also: bald + beard = awesome.

It's a keeper. Welcome to the group

Can't believe it!
Finally someone who show us that he actually has a face!
Great photo and the sly look fits you in an astonishing way!

Looks like you've been sly for a while .. good look on you. And .. now you will notice you can tell what the weather will be much better ..
-
Nice sly pose and CONGRATS ! ;D

Welcome to the forum, enjoy the smooth dome! O0

I agree with the others, it's a good look for you.
As for concern over what others may say ... I think you'll be surprised at how little response you get. My observation these days is that people are so preoccupied with their iphones and Facebook and all that they really don't pay much (if any) attention to others around them.
I had the same concern when I got my septum piercing a few years ago. I thought it was so uncommon it would draw attention - and that wasn't the case. And of the very few comments, only one was negative (most of the others were curiosity and a couple were complimentary).
I'll be sly on the 21st - hoping "my look" turns out as good as yours.

right decision

Welcome, you look great with the headshave.
