Hi I have shaved my head a few times and never keep it. I shaved it for the first time in 2 yrs over a week ago at the barbers. Went back again for another shave. Its got almost two days growth now. Thinking of reshaving but I am starting to miss hair. Here are my before and afters and one with a #1 buzz. Tell me if I should keep it. I am pale and slightly thin too.

Hey man...Just my personal opinion but the SLY look is far better for you. I know it takes a little adjusting but give it a month and I think you will reconsider ever going back.

You need to shave daily-you looked more squared away as a baldie

OK, I was in exactly the same position you were a few years ago. Your first pic doesn't look bad. The second photo is what you're going to look like in another 6 months to a year, no matter what you do with your hair. You look great in the third picture. On a long-term basis, totally shaved is your best option. I can understand the mixed emotions about going that route right now while you still have some hair, but if you're interested in the advice of someone who's been there -- start shaving now and get used to it. Otherwise you'll just become obsessed with monitoring the further thinning and recession of your hair.
I went back and forth like you did a number of times. I felt a bit self conscious with a shaved head and always ended up growing it back. And once it was grown in again, I always regretted not sticking with it. The best thing you can do is shave and commit to shaving daily for the next 30 days no matter what. If you can make it through those 30 days, you'll be home free.
The one comment made by virtually everyone who shaves is head is, "I wish I had done it sooner." Do yourself a favor and start your 30 day trial now. You'll thank us afterwards.

Welcome to the Forum!
just my opinion...... you look way better without thet little bit of stubble.
Smilin' will help too ;)
-
Welcome! It's my opinion that you look better with the shaved head than the other two pics. Give shaving a shot for 30 days straight, then decide.
-
Welcome to SBG Parchessy. I have to agree with the other guys ... In my opinion, you look best shaved completely clean.

Don't sweat the bald look on yourself bro..
looks good...
and you don't need a tan to be SLY! ;)
Shaved smooth is the way to go for sure over the buzzcut!
-
Do you collect action figures and comic books? 8) You look much better sly.
-
Welcome onboard m8! U rock the sly look! Keep it that way O0
-
Picture No3 is the best by far...
-
I'm with the rest of the guys, Sly suits you :)
welcome to the forum Parchessy.

Bald is a keeper. Looks good that way
-
Welcome first of all. O0
No contest: the third pic is by far the best. You just GOTTA be sly, bro. 8)
-
you look younger and better sly :popo
-
Sly definitely suits you bro!
-
Shaved wins hands down. Good look on you.
-
after reading all the posts so far I wouldn't want to be accused of beating a dead horse..........
O.K. Just one little wack k$@ ......stay SLY man, from the looks of the pic's, you rock the look.
-
Imo third pic is the best.
I agree with Tyler. Keep shaving it for a couple of weeks and see how you get used to it. Even the headskin needs a couple of shaves until it gets used to it. I needed about 2 weeks until the look was really good. B4 then the shaved head was sometimes great and sometimes it wasn't. I kept shaving regulary and now I can't even imagine not to shave it! :)
-
Hey been almost a year. I grew out (for some reason) but have just become sly again! I will keep it this time I am committed to staying bald. Its so much better.
-
Keep it smooth, bro. You look much better with the chromedome. Shave it everyday for a whole month and I guarantee you that you will not want to go back to having hair.
After I had my first headshave, I couldn't resist going back and having it shaved again about 2 days later. The feel of the hot foam on the head and the straight blade removing the last stubble of hair was extremely amazing.
I wouldn't suggest going to the barbers every week to have your head shaved as this would cost you a small fortune, but conversely, it would be good for your barber & might even help him / her keep afloat in the recession !!
Whatever you decide, remember to keep us posted.
