Hello and a big welcome Sly swing. I like your attitude. It appears that you did not overthink your decision, instead you just did it and now you feel comfortable with your decision. All the best...
Let me add my welcome! Nice to see another nearly bald head.
You'll quickly get used to the new look. The difference between your current clipper cut and a shaved bald head, looks essentially the same, but the smooth head feels much nicer. You should give it a try.
I thought that the military guys were well known for shaving their heads. Well, perhaps in basic training you don't have time, but after that, go for it. While a shaved head is not exclusively police or military, it certainly fits, and you see lots of guys these days with shaved heads.
Thanks for joining us. Post often.
Welcome SlySwing. Great choice in going for the clippered buzz. Before long I'm sure you will shave it down. Good luck with everything and hang in there.
