Should I finish it up?...ADVICE PLEASE!!!!

[patrikbrenn]

I've been never a fun of having a smooth head and for last years was keeping a buzzcut as #2,
Recently as it started thinning more at the temples I decided to buzz it without guard hoping it's gonna look better.
Yet after I did it (with some hesitation) I realized that it did not produce the effect, on contrary I have kind of impression  that you can see the receding more that it was before...Should I come back to # 2 buzzcut or maybe it's already the time to take the razor and to shave it completely (so there is no stubble visible)..I'm a little bit afraid to do it, please give me your honest advice..!

Welcome to SBG patrick !!  Post up an introduction and introduce yourself to the bros...


I think all 3 pics you posted look fine although I think the last 2 where you have it buzzed look better on you.

My advice would be to shave it and try it for 30 days and if you don't like it grow it back, hey it's only hair. I think you really want to try it or you wouldn't have made this post !!   

Good luck, and if you do it, I'll bet you'll love it....

It only takes 2 or 3 days to grow your hair out to a zero-guard length, so just shave it and see what it looks like.

I agree. Shaving is the way to go.  You have a good shaped head for the look.

That's just about what my hair looks like if I would grow it out fully.  Maybe just a bit thinner though.  I think it looks fine man.  It's really what you are happy with.  Me personally, I get tired of shaving sometimes and let mine go for a week or sometimes 2.  It doesn't bother me though.  Maybe do what I do.  Just give it a try totally shaved one time and if you like it then just switch it up every now and then.  You know, shave it with a razor one day, let it go for a week or so, and then shave it again.  Or even let it go for a month or so until you get a wild hair and want a different look again. 

But to answer your original question...NO, it does not look bad at all man.  Do what makes you happy and be secure with yourself.  If you can do that it really doesn't matter what you do with your hair.  Peace.

Looks fine in those pics but I suspect under bright light you can see your scalp a lot more. I would shave it down...
Your already used to short hair and you will still have a shadow anyway. 
Im going to guarantee once you shave it down you will never turn back.  Then you no longer have to worry about how much "worse" it is going to get.
On the other hand if you dont care about having your scalp shine in certain situations then leave it be.
But you wouldnt be here if you didnt care eh ?
Give it a try man...like the other bro's say...it will grow back to a zero over the course of a weekend.

Hi.  You have just about the same sort of hairline as me when i grow mine out.  We're bound to say it on this site: try shaving the noggin for those 30 days and see how you feel.  Its very liberating, and whats more there's been no better time to try it, as a shaved head is becoming increasingly fashionable.   

Just give it a go.  The shorter hair pictures you posted suited you best, so sly will probably look even better.

Why not shave it smooth..

the buzzed O looked that much better...I think eliminating all hair you'll be surprised how your "balding" issues disappear..

go for the shave...you'll be back to a buzz in 2-3 days!

[Timmay]

I say, you have went this far...might as well jsut go for the shave to see what you think.  Dont just do it for one day though..do the 30 day thing, good luck

If you are worried about coworkers opinions, then just shave your head on friday night and by monday you will look like your pic.

You look good even with the buzz... no need to shave your head, unless you want to try it...
Do you want to try??
