So ive been told the last 3 or 4 years that im thinning on top. it really became noticeable and I endended up chopping of my long hair to make it not so noticeable about 6 months ago. Since then I have realized that on both my mother and fathers side, the men have the horseshoe thing going on. I have come to terms with MPB and have always liked the idea of having a cleanly shaven head, but always thought it wouldnt look good on me with my big ears and my somewhat of a big occipital bone.
Anyways, I have decided that since I am graduating from barbering school soon that I am going to get my head straight razor shaved before i graduate. Why wait 5 more years and try to hang on to what I got, right?
So I was just going to see what you guys think of my ear size. I can really care less of occipital bone size. And to be honest im not one to really care what others think of me. But after seeing how stoked you guys get from rockin the sly look. Maybe i can get some encouragement to do it earlier, like tomorrow, lol.
What do ya'll think?

Shave it! Looks like you have a good shaped head. You're overthinking the ears thing. There's nothing wrong with it...I think the shaved head will suit you.
Keep the beard and props on the mustache. Keep us posted and post pics to show us the after.
-
I tend to think you will look super cool shaved. Go for it!
-
Nothing wrong with big ears. And the head shaved will look great with the beard and handlebar. Have fun!
-
I agree with the gentlemen before me. There is nothing wrong with your ears or your head's shape. If you want to shave it, then do so. There is nothing like the feeling of smooth.
Welcome to the board, sir.

Thank you, You guys are awesome! I'm going to have one of my barber brothers do it for me today. I will keep ya'll posted. Thank you again for the encouraging words
-
Well I did it, and I actually think I love it already. Thank you guys so much for your input!

Looks great man! Hope you enjoy!
-
Welcome aboard! The handlebar complements the shaved head well!
-
Aaand we have a winner!
-
Your hair is already short and won't make a difference! I say go for it! I have been shaving my head since the early '90's and it is the best decision I have made to my "style" ever!! Jump in and don't look back! Keep us updated and post pix!!
-
Congratulations, sir!
The handlebar bar gives you quite the debonair edge as well.
-
Congratulation, your bald head looks great mate! A handlebar moustache and a bald head has always been a dapper combination, but of course I'm biased!
-
Yeah, it looks pretty fantastic! Hope you're enjoying it.
-
Bald is definitely a great look for you!
-
Welcome, Choniethebarber!
By shaving your head, the ears actually show up less.
Looks great!
-
I'd say look good both ways man. Take your pick of the two and what you feel most comfortable with.
Your ears do not pose a visual problem to me.
And damn that moustache is one awesome piece of work. Looks wicked dude.
-
I know I'm a little late to the party lol but better late than never. Chonie, you look awesome bald man! You look good both ways but the shaved look suits you far better. Excellent decision!
-
looks absolutely fantastic. you made a great choice.
-
Much improved I'd say. Your previous high hairline kinda highlighted a high forehead. Without the hairline, it just disappears!
Congrats!
-
Add my vote! You look good either way but my honest opinion is that you look better shaved than you did with the slightly thinning hair. The ears are a non-issue.
Shaved and that stache! Man I am jealous! I'll bet some of the other students at your school liked it as well - am I right?
-
AWESOME!!!
-
Sorry im still new to this and dont know how to reply to each post. But thank you all. I am absolutly in love with it! especially now that I have shaved against the grain! I cant stop rubbing it, haha.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments about my moustache too. I also believe it makes a nice combination with my new look!
-
Very good decision. You look awesome with the bald head. Your family and friends will like it too, won't they? Keep it smooth. Enjoy the new life as SLY!! :-)

Looks amazing
