Hey, I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but here goes... I used to have my hair at a medium length with a visible receding hairline. I was going for the Nicolas Cage/Jack Nicholson look. However, a few days ago I noticed that my hair was getting thinner at the crown area, so I knew that it was time to start shaving it off. Anyway, today, I shaved it to grade 1, but I'm not sure if I would look better with the completely bald look. Here are my pictures -

How do I look with the grade 1? Do I have the right head shape? Should I go shorter?
Thanks

I think your head shape is perfect for going all the way with it. I think it will look great. Welcome aboard! Shave it and post another pic.
-
The #1 is a huge improvement. Should you go all the way? Why not? You're almost there, anyway. If you don't like it, it will grow back out to #1 length in a week. You'll probably want to shave eventually anyway, as your hair continues to recede, so why not find out what it looks like? Even if you don't keep it shaved, it will be less scary when the time comes to do it for good, if you already know what it looks like.
-
Definitely an improvement. Now go for the deed!
-
I say go for it. Might as well give it a try. It will grow back if you don't like it.
-
GO GO GO GO! Do It Bro! Welcome to the site...I say go for it . Like the others said....it will grow back to what it is now in a week. Just DO IT!
LOL

Rick is super sly... you have a point
-
Major league improvement with the buzz cut -- gives you a much younger look. I would say go for it when you're ready, but you know it's already in your head and won't go away until you do the deed. What do you have to lose, other than a little stubble? If you decide to hold off once you try it, definitely keep it at the buzz look.
-
Major improvement! O0
So, if YOU think a shaved slick head looks good (on other dudes)...I say go for it you'll love having no hair..
It's addictive though!
-
welcome and
yup, give it a try. expririence the smooth feeling. it's worthy to go for it. if you don't like the look it grows back fast, like all have said here.
btw, i think your head shape is good.
-
Welcome, go ahead and take it all off. Give it the 30 day trial and I bet you don't go back.
-
why did you stop?
go for it brother O0
finish the job
-
Looks good! Head shape is right!
Go smooth, and if you don't like it will grow back! ;)
Welcome to the group!
-
You look much better without that head of psuedo hair. Might as well finish it off! And WELCOME to the Forum!
-
welcome to the forum. What more can i say that the bro's havent said already? Just go for it and shave it smooth. O:O
-
No offense, but asking that question on this forum is like asking PETA if you should wear fur.
-
LOL UGA you got that right....
-

Haha, that's great bulldog. One of the best analogies I have ever heard!
-
I say do it, man. If you're at a #1, it'll only take a 7-10 days for your dome to grow out to the #1.
-
The number one looks great, I did the number one buzz for a few months but lately started doing a 0 buzz, which looks pretty much the same , but is really no more than stuble, my face is darker after after one day, trust me dude the 1 buzz suits you, you will love going to a zero, I havent put razor to scalp yet but having a zero gives me a pretty good idea when I do its gonna look very nice.
-
You're almost there. Just take out a fresh blade and shave what's remaining. You won't be sorry dude.
-
try a 00000. Your head shape is great.
-

No because PETA would answer that question with a resounding NO, while we're answering this one with a resounding YES. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone... I have had no problems making friends, attracting girls and having fun. I guess being sly is about the state of your mind and not the state of your hairline.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!! Give that man a cigar.
-
First off, welcome! Secondly, if you're happy with the buzz (for the moment), keep it that way. I agree with what the bros have said so far - definitely an improvement over what you had. Once you get used to the buzzed look, try shaving it all off and see if you like it! My bet would be that you will LOVE it and once you get your routine down, you'll be SLY for life! Good luck and keep us posted!

Exactly bro!

Welcome to SBG's hairis, and yes, definitely go shorter! O0

Shorter and shorter and shorter... 8)
On the other hand, it seems like you already got the sly attitude, bro: just do what makes you feel good! O0
