to me you look much better with short buzzed hair.  No point trying to hide hair loss so you might as well shave all - express yourself

So, in one week you went from long hair to #4 to #2 to #1, and you all like it.  Sounds like it is time to complete the week and shave it bald. Take command of the balding head. Take a loom around and notice all the guys with bald heads. There are lots of them. 

For me... how long did it take?  I'm bald by choice so i did not have an accelerated reason to shave my head.  A buddy suggested getting a #4 buzz about five years ago. I immediately liked it.  No adjustment necessary.  Got tired of paying the barber, so bought clippers and did my own. Each year or so i'd go a notch shorter. Summer 2011 i buzzed with no guard for vacation. It looks bald but isn't. I loved it.  Buddies said, why not shave it bald, you'll love it.  Waited until January out of consideration for my wife who was not crazy about it. She was going to be out of town for 10 days. I could give it a try. So I did, and i've never looked back.  I've shaved bald daily since .  Wife has adjusted. I love it, even though i don't have to do this.   All have adjusted and i get regular compliments.

Go for it.  You'll look good bald and no one will notice the thinning hair.  You've got good reason to shave bald.

Hey Kevin,

I really like it.  Your right you do have a nice shaped head.  I think you should try a shave, IMHO I think you will rock the sly look.

Just added a new front shot photo to my original post for any that are curious.   It was taken right before I got my hair buzzed.  Yeah I have to admit that going totally Sly is tempting because I am so close to it anyway with my 1 buzz cut.  But I am still getting used to the new look I have now.  

I like it but I feel like a lot of people in the public are looking at me strange.  I know that this is all in my head and untrue but it just feels like it to me.  I will be happy when I totally adjust to the new look and the whole self conscious feeling goes away.  Thanks again for all the encouragement, it does really help to hear all your opinions.

Welcome to the club, Kevin. You definitely look better with the buzz cut. The next step is going sly completely. If you don't like it, you can always go back to a buzz.

Kevin, congratulations on taking the initial steps.

But the talk of "letting it grow out a little" ... well, you've got your gears in reverse!

It is so short now that I think you should go ahead and shave it. Because ... the look will be no different for people seeing you compared to your longer hair. Whether it's shaved or buzzed won't make any difference to them.

Oh, but you will feel the difference. The smoothness is incredible. The knowledge that you no longer have to worry about hair (oh, the relief you must be feeling already).

People who haven't met you before won't know any different and won't stare. And those that know you will see the difference -- but as long as you are feeling confident (which you TOTALLY should be) that will carry the day.

You're 95% there ... why not finish it off and give yourself a gold star.

You deserve it!
