I finally took the plunge (all tho not completely shaved) and I feel phenomenal. I buzzed it down to a 1 and I feel like a new person. I now very rarely think about my hair loss (well at least no where near as much as I did beforehand.) please let me know what you guys think!

It look really good! Cold Stone.

Did you buzz yourself, or have barber or friend help out?  I did my own when that day came.  Then just kept taking the clippers down  a notch every several weeks  until I was buzzing no guard.  At that point, some friends here on SBG and elsewhere asked "What keeping you from the razor blade" and I had no good reason. 

This #1 will help in getting a bit of a tan on top, although that really develops when you use a razor. 

It's a good feeling, isn't it!

Looks outstanding! Nice head shape, should look excellent shaved. You wouldn't believe the difference in 1/8 inch.

Reddog is right. That last 1/8 inch is a big deal.  If you like the #1 .... when you are ready, give the blade a try. You'll be back to #1 in about a week if you freak out. But most guys who try it never go back.

Quick update: My girlfriend did the buzz for me, and I've been re-buzzing it every 5-6 days. I really do like how it looks now, but I can't shake the feeling that all skin will look all that great. I definitely do not think about it nearly as much and even when I do I know it's not the end of the world, but I definitely do feel better. Are there any of you guys that felt/feel the same way?

Yes, I definitely feel the same way.  I always feel best about myself when my head is fresh and clean shaven.

Whoops, I meant to say that I don't really think that going completely sly would look that good because it's just ALL skin and no color ya know? What do you guys think?
Title: Re: I finally did it guys

Its all about how you feel about it.  If you do go sly, as you have dark hair you will still have colour, or you will after a few growing hours. Considering many of us think we cannot grow hair, its amazing how quickly it grows after you have shaved!

Looks good, bro. However, you will not truly know the difference until you have your head razor shaved...... it is a totally different look & feel to just buzzed.

Anyhow, welcome to this great site.
