Metaphor, welcome to Sly Bald Guys.  You resemble Luke Wilson with your head buzzed.  Give a shorter buzz a try.

Welcome bro.  As everyone else has said it does free you up.  But it really depends on how you are feeling before the deed.  It sounds like you are a "fencer."  Meaning you just are not sure if you are happy with your hair or not and are debating on going the whole way.  If that is the case then I would say definitely go for it because you will never be satisfied until you do.  Once you have and you give it a while you can compare and see what fits you best.  If you don't like the slick dome you can always grow it right back.  Good luck.  O0

My thinning hair used to drive me nutz. I was always worried about how it was cut, how it looked, how much I'd lost.  Shaving it clean ended all of that.  Best of all, it looked the way I wanted.  I wasn't just trying to make do with what little hair I had left.  I was no longer "going bald".  I was "shaved".  I guess you could say it gave me back that sense of control.

Best of luck!

Yes the buzz cut looks alot better than the mad scientist mullet  O0

I was hoping that cutting it really short would free me from constantly fretting over it.
Unfortunately, I still find myself dwelling on it far too often.
I have a good deal of hair yet but I am just sick of it’s control over me.

Are you actually balding/thinning/losing hair? You sure dont look like it but let me tell you one thing you have brilliant hair for someone in their 40s. Dont take that as too much of a compliment as you look better with a buzz so dont grow it back!

Got a #2 last night.
My fiancé really liked it.
Think I may try a #1 next time.
You guys are right. I keep wanting to go shorter.
Thanks for the support!

Welcome Metaphor ...  I agree with the guys - you look better with it cut short.   I think you go all the way and shave it clean.  I did so 3 weeks ago from today and I've never been happier.

My 14-year-old daughter's "friend" (I refuse to call him "boyfriend") saw me for the first time since shaving last night, and he said he didn't expect to like it, after hearing I'd shaved.  But, then when he saw me, said he loves it - said I look like a bad ass.   Well, I'm glad he thinks that, because I'm watching him ....

Welcome dude!

Awesome that your girl seems to be into it! Yea, going full sly and having your head completely skinned will take away a lot of the "hassle" stuff....but it is addictive and having a completely bald head should be something that you think looks cool on other dudes already..

if your in that thinking...bro you're golden!

Shave it smooth bro and start your new "sly" life!

Good luck my soon to be bald bro! O0
