Should my slyness return? - page 2 -

• Outsider, IMO the sly look is a better look for you.  I am not an advocate of the buzzed look. It's your head, so the decision is yours.  The buzzed look does not look clean to me.  Sort of, being in between decisions- should I shave or do I want hair? Which is it?

• I would say without a doubt shave it smooth...bald looks great on you...but here's a suggestion...
  
  I would not do the full goat for yourself...it's too heavy and makes you look REAL bald compared to what is on your face...I'd keep a stubbly beard (bout 3-4 days, no more)...your facial hair is too dense when grown out compared to your head....
  
  or better yet just go for the fully shaved "mr. clean" action...your looks can handle it!

• Dude, you rock the "SLY" look with the goat, go for that look again!

• Like Tyler said, if you have an itch scratch it, or shave it. Whatever works.

• Hey guys,
  
  Thanks for the cool responses. While I was riding my motorbike afterwork last night I decided that i'm gonna have to "scratch that itch".  The look i'm going to go for is Slick dome with a stubble beard, I might even give clean shaven a try just to see.  So... in preparation for the slick dome I re-did my guardless clippering, so its pretty short this morning. I will probably shave it over the weekend when i "lay down the law" with my parents. hehe. I'm excited I wont have to worry about the head shadow as my head is already "tanned" (well freckled being a redhead).
  
  I will post a few pics once done
  
  On a side note.... I went to see Star Trek 11 at IMAX last night and let me tell you there are heaps of sly guys in that movie, not to mention the 5 that i saw in the audience with me. Great to see that the sly look is picking up.
  
  PS. The movie was great, not a typical trekky film.

  Awesome I really think keeping the beard stubble or actually shaved clean WILL help the bald thing with the folks...it's weird but I can see it..
  
  good luck bro...bald suits you!

• Looks great buzzed or slick.... but sly is definitely your look.

• Hey guys,
  
  Well this morning was meant to be the time to bring back the sly but I am sad to say that i chickened out.  I dont know whats wrong with me, its not like my buzzed 0 haircut is far removed from slick bald. I am just really concerned my parents are gonna chuck a fit at me.  As it is they bitch and moan about my current look, i fear this is going to be worse. For the record I am living with my parents at the moment.
  
  I need a plan of attack, should i shave in the evening or in the morning the first time?  On a weekend or weekday? Should it be with the grain or against the grain? i've not razor shaved my head in 5 months.
  
  
  EDIT: I'm not as concered about what others think, its purely my parent's reaction that im concered with.
