Well, Mr. Bark...
You've taken a HUGE step in the right direction by coming here, man.
Hang out, read up on as many posts as you can.
Standard intro advice is give it a good clip to start with. #4, #3, #2, #1. Ease into it. Get used to the feeling of having a pretty bare head.
I have the same growing problem with a ever-expanding balding spot on the top back of my head. Like where a Jewish yamaca is worn.
It's more obvious the longer your hair is. I've grown my hair out a bit for the cold months and am astonished at how "glaring" it is. The shorter the clip (not to mention shaving completely) the less obvious.
Welcome!!

Go to the how to shave your head on the main menu and do it. You're here and that says that there is a very large probability that you've decided. Shear down to the buzz, apply the shaving creme, a blade and be free and sly O:O O:O. The only rule is 30 days, and you'll probably wonder why you waited so long. It's a great Christmas Gift, right look, right price.
You asked to be encouraged, consider this the answer to your request.

Welcome to SBG, Mr. Bark. The one thing to remember about any sort of hair-related matters, be it shaving your head, growing your hair out:
Nothing is permanent. (Except laser stuff, but that's a different story.)
If you shave your head and don't like the way it looks, it's not the end of the world. You can always grow your hair back. And remember, being sly is a frame of mind. If you're completely comfortable with the way you look (which I'm guessing isn't the case at the moment), then you're on the right track to sly. So make sure you do it for YOU and nobody else.
Robmeister's right. Stick around for a while and learn about the sly way of life! And as far as easing into it by going through the "countdown procedure" (yeah, I just coined that lol), it's what worked for me. I believe I was somewhere near the same thing. I started off earlier this year (around June I believe) with about 12 inches of hair and a terrible receding hairline.
I started off with a #5, then a #3, then a #2, then a #1, then a complete shave with the clippers, and then the shick. Make sure you set your own pace. There's no rush at all.
So good luck with your decision and welcome to the ever-expanding sly brotherhood!

OK, you've already admitted that you think you already look stupid. What's the worst that could happen? Do you think you'd look more stupid? Do we look stupid?
Just do it. If you don't like it, it grows back.

Welcome to our furum, Bark. It might be a big step to go ahead and do it, but I am telling you what,,,,as a little time goes by, you WILL say,,,,,,why in the world did I wait this long?

Welcome to the Forum Bark!
I've been shaving my head for about 18 months..... and I wish i would have done it much sooner.
You'll never have to worry again if you combed that hair over that bald spot or not.
You'll never have to worry again if that hot gal is checking out your bald spot.
You'll be able to get rid of your hat collection.
You won't need no "stinking combs".
Your remaining hair won't get sucked straight up when you sunroof is open.
No more sticky strands of hair when you're sweating.
Do I really need to go on?
Your confidence will go thru the roof!
You will love how you look!
You will love how you feel!
You will feel younger!
Others will think you look younger!
Confidence is key.... shave it, walk tall, and say "Thanks" no matter what anyone else says.

Most of us have some time off for the next several days due to the holidays. That makes now the perfect time to shave. If you shave your head with a blade today, it can be back to 1 mm by Monday. Why not give yourself a preview of what it's like to have a completely hairfree dome? If you don't, you'll be kicking yourself about a week from now for not grabbing this opportunity.
