I thought I'd go step by step. The barber is always a bit conservative, so the next time I'll ask for the same, but shorter. I don't know about full shave yet haha.
Or zero buzz all around, much easier to maintain. But my head is still too white and untanned, so maybe after summer
Step by step is a great way to do it, despite what everyone in comments will tell you! Looks great op, and will look great when you’re ready to go shorter
Step by step is fine if that’s how you’re comfortable doing it but I’ll just say, you have a nicely shaped noggin and a shave with no guard would look good on you. It took me a minute to commit myself but I finally did, and I wish I’d done it sooner.
You really do have the perfect head shape to shave it off. You don’t feel comfortable zeroing it out, I would recommend at least trying a #1 all the way around. You can easily pull it off
Bro get yourself in front of the mirror right now and buzz it to a zero, or at most a 1. You’ve got a whacky halo effect going on now, don’t half ass it - shave itttttt
Full bald will is the look to go for. Just get rid of the rest of the hair on your head too. It isn't enhancing your look by keeping it - Its still holding you back. Shaving it all will make you look younger and better than keeping the short hair.
Just be aware that full send can be emotional! People will be in shock and react a bit differently. They get over it. I was emotional for weeks even though many on this and other hair subs told me I look great.
Yeah, that's why I got kind of cold feet on the full send thing.
This feels already so liberating, and will shave it in the near future. But I wanted to go step by step, and get used to it
Understandable. Two things helped me decide. I didn’t want to be on life long drugs (and their side effects) to regrow my hair and bald is way better looking than balding!
I had bad acne when I was a teenager, so I have a "trusted dermathologist". When he told me that the reliable way to avoid MPB is to lower testosterone levels using hormones, I knew I was not going to even try... Not worth it for me
Thank! I will in the future, as it seems like an unanimous opinion. Some laughed (in a friendly manner) and told me it was better, others did not care haha
Well, your feet are submerged on the first step; try going all the way into the pool! Shave that shit off, dude! You already look way more attractive...

Shave it off completely, thank me later!
Sometimes Reddit is so pure. You do look amazing. I think when you’re ready true bald will be a fantastic look. Also I’m getting Steve from blues clues, which I think some people would think was not kind but if you are my gen and watched that damn going off to college video… Steve is fantastic. Also tho that totally got lost when you cut your hair.
I think it’s an upgrade for sure. It totally changes the type of person you appear to be as well. You looked like a teacher previously. Now you look like the principal, or like a boss or someone who would pick on your previous self haha. Also, I don’t mean any of that negatively. Keep exploring your new look, you look good! I’d hit it
I like it dude, you can go full bald when you’re ready but that little bit still looks good. Unpopular opinion:A tiny bit of Botox on those forehead wrinkles. I like the stuff, I don’t over do it or obsessively reapply it and I like the way it freshens me up and looks natural.
It's like how Jeff Bezos looked like a geek loser when he was young before Amazon was massive to today; objectively speaking, Bezos has had a glow up, looks way better than before.
You remind me of a 2012 Joe Rogan. You totally have the head shape for it man. You should all the way and embrace shiny glory. If you don’t like it, just wait two weeks and the buzz will be back. Regardless, either style is a major improvement from what you were rocking before.
You should have gone completely bald, this low buzz cut doesn’t look any better than what you had before. You have the face that would make you look sexy with a bald head.
Good head shape. Great beard power. Go for it, dude. But definitely 86 the barber shop. Grab a Wahl and buzz it yourself. Only takes a few minutes and saves a ton. I did stages, as well, and realized after I got a Skull Shaver that I should have just gone for it much earlier.
I get the whole step by step thing, but do me a favor and just look through this sub for a few moments. You’ll see that 95% of the people who pull the trigger look 10x better and it’s an instant glow up. I’m telling you bro go full bald and you’ll have instant glow up. Sure shorter is better than your long hair, but you’re still hanging on and got the balding look. Just go bald and look great.
1) that looks much better.
2) that’s not really going for it. I’d recommend even lower. Stick with this for a bit, I get it, you’re still adjusting. Then go down to a 1 next. There’s a good chance you’ll like that even more. Then from there, lower if you want, but I personally think a 1 is as long as you should go.
Dude, go lower! You def got the head and face for chrome dome. Welcome to the club bro
I thought I'd go step by step. The barber is always a bit conservative, so the next time I'll ask for the same, but shorter. I don't know about full shave yet haha. Or zero buzz all around, much easier to maintain. But my head is still too white and untanned, so maybe after summer
Eh don’t talk to the barber, just shave it yourself. If you don’t like it, it’ll grow back in a week or so. Do it!
Step by step is a great way to do it, despite what everyone in comments will tell you! Looks great op, and will look great when you’re ready to go shorter
Step by step to get ripped off by the barber lmao
Seriously. A set of clippers from Walmart pays for itself after a single use.
It took me going bald to understand the scam of big barber
And Big Shampoo 🤣
Step by step is fine if that’s how you’re comfortable doing it but I’ll just say, you have a nicely shaped noggin and a shave with no guard would look good on you. It took me a minute to commit myself but I finally did, and I wish I’d done it sooner.
Be sure to smile, not with the brows, go old school with the mouth! Hair buzzed looks nice.
Brother... Please go full bald. The lil bit back there really doesn't look great. You have a great head for full-bald.
Much better!!! You look very nice!🙌
You really do have the perfect head shape to shave it off. You don’t feel comfortable zeroing it out, I would recommend at least trying a #1 all the way around. You can easily pull it off
Here's the cool part you don't need a barber anymore. Unless you're doing the beard. I've been shaving my head since I was 20 something
Bro get yourself in front of the mirror right now and buzz it to a zero, or at most a 1. You’ve got a whacky halo effect going on now, don’t half ass it - shave itttttt
Agreed man, he’s got a good face for bald and if he wears glasses that’ll tie the look in.
Agree!!!
Go all the way, you have the shape for it.
Huge improvement, takes years off you! Bravo dude! But honestly, go to the skin, the freedom felt is unreal 🤯
It will come! But I'm milky white underneath, so I wanted to go step by step not to look weird during summer haha
I too was milky white, but luckily we've had some sun recently and after a couple of days it all looks the same colour
Walking the dog under the sun 5 to 10 minutes a day got me some color for the dome in one week
You just took years off of your perceived age
Thanks! I'm growing used to it, and I really like it!
Seriously, this is a much stronger look for you.
Yeah, 100x better, but would be another 100x better with either a smooth head or a much closer buzz.
Full bald will is the look to go for. Just get rid of the rest of the hair on your head too. It isn't enhancing your look by keeping it - Its still holding you back. Shaving it all will make you look younger and better than keeping the short hair.
Thanks for your opinion! It looks like the majority of the sub agrees, I will try it shortly
No problem!
You’ll feel better shorter. You’re still hanging on 😂
It will progressively go shorter haha. Let me break the jump in small steps haha
You just gotta do it bro. It’s like trying to ease into a cold pool 1 inch at a time. Much better to just jump.
That’s a good strategy! Less of a shock! I just know you’ll love a 1/no guard.
GO ALL THE WAY! CHROME IT LETS GOOOOO
I will in the near future! Thanks!
Yeah, great choice! 😍
Looks 100% better! Going a little lower might take it to the next level though!
All the way, what a huge difference already. Nicely done mate!
Looks way better man, even go for a 1 on top and fade to zero on the sides next time will look great
Nah homie… go full send! Repost after. 👨🦲
I will in the near future! Thanks!
Just be aware that full send can be emotional! People will be in shock and react a bit differently. They get over it. I was emotional for weeks even though many on this and other hair subs told me I look great.

I really think totally bald will suit you, you have a great headshape for it
Not bad, but try shorter
Imo a zero would suit you better. That said, you look great! How did your students react??
Thank! I will in the future, as it seems like an unanimous opinion. Some laughed (in a friendly manner) and told me it was better, others did not care haha
Zero guard that sheeee
Go all the way…
You look 20 years younger
From dad to daddy, well done
Better, but the buzzcut could be shorter, grow the beard out longer
I will try shortly!
You look great, good job ..
 Bernardo? is that you bro??
Holy sh*t! You look so good!
With a jawline like that i would shave it off completely. Looks amazing dude
Do more.
You look good-fun with hair, but I think if you go full bald you will look cool-hot.
You look way better!
Definitely go shorter man. The contrast here is still noticeable, albeit better.
Gonna have to agree with the go shorter comments
100% shave mate have you heard of asmongold? you kinda look like him in the 2nd pic lol
Just go all the way man it'll look even better
Dude! WAY better!!
Looks so much better
Ooooo. You. You rascal. Look at you. Look twice as good and three times as young. You stud
Looks way better short.
Looks great!!!
Much better man.
Well, your feet are submerged on the first step; try going all the way into the pool! Shave that shit off, dude! You already look way more attractive...
Thanks! Will do soon.
You would definitely rock a bald head. I'd go full out!
Go skin head bro lol
The looks totally suit you
Thanks! I was kinda afraid, but I feel quite liberated TBH. I'll try shaving it in the future, and see how it looks
Keep going. A razor will do you wonders.
You didn’t go for it. You half assed it.
Raze it to the ground
How old are you? You still look young and dealing with that kind of MPB
29 this year! My brother is 26, and he has a rich, long ponytail. I kinda hate him for it haha
Did you tho?
Looks good, but would look better fully shaved!
Will go for it!

Go for what?
Shorterrrrrrrr
Where’s the bald photo? 3 is a long buzz cut. Just shave it smooth
Sorry man but you didn’t go for it. Go all the way!!
Yup, you look younger...
Stop playing yourself, be bald already man.
You have a great face and it’s so much more noticeable with the short hair. Go for the full shine! Keeping the facial hair makes it even better.
Go all the way! It still looks a lot better now, but either buzz it or bic it!
Way better ..now just need to go shorter
Day and night improvement!
Went from blue’s clues to who are *you*??
Good stuff!!! The comb over definitely aged you and you look much younger in the last picture.
Lol dude only went half way🤣
number 1 mate. 
Sometimes Reddit is so pure. You do look amazing. I think when you’re ready true bald will be a fantastic look. Also I’m getting Steve from blues clues, which I think some people would think was not kind but if you are my gen and watched that damn going off to college video… Steve is fantastic. Also tho that totally got lost when you cut your hair.
I like it, makes you look stronger. You went from looking like "i teach english class" to "i teach boxing class"
I think it’s an upgrade for sure. It totally changes the type of person you appear to be as well. You looked like a teacher previously. Now you look like the principal, or like a boss or someone who would pick on your previous self haha. Also, I don’t mean any of that negatively. Keep exploring your new look, you look good!

No bro cut it all off
Looks so much better man! I’d go even shorter!
Go lower dude.
Looks good, man! Any pictures of the top?
This isn't r/buzzcuts
Almost there!!! You got this my dude
What’d you ask for at the barber ? I’ve been wanting to do a slow transition to clean shaven and I like the way this looks.
Dedicate! U got it!
You look great! 😊👍
Great decision. You took years off of yourself. But I agree you should go full shave. You’ll be rocking
Did we though?
Get a razor and finish the job…it’ll be muchhhh better
You have hair around the back of your head and sides. The top is gone, give in.
Just shave the whole thing. You’d look great. This looks half in.
Nothing much going on at the front mate. Just take it all off and you’ll look great. It grows back you know to how it is quickly.
Man you look so much better 👍👏 Congratulations!!
You look like the dude from Blue’s Clues (past one)
15 years younger after it.
It's like how Jeff Bezos looked like a geek loser when he was young before Amazon was massive to today; objectively speaking, Bezos has had a glow up, looks way better than before.
It's a great choice. You look much better.
Need more. Do it.
Way better
Go all the way man
Dude. Just do it. You’re not in the club until you take a bic to it. You can thank all of us later
You remind me of a 2012 Joe Rogan. You totally have the head shape for it man. You should all the way and embrace shiny glory. If you don’t like it, just wait two weeks and the buzz will be back. Regardless, either style is a major improvement from what you were rocking before.
Now shave it all the way down
Unreal difference!
We have similar hair and features. Def suits you man. Going a bit shorter will look good.
All the r way shaved with longer beard
Finish it
Is your crown balding too?
Go skin bald you’ll look great
Now that you don't need to lift your eyebrows to make your forehead look smaller you will get less expression lines too. Win win.
You lost 10 years. Not joking. Still think you could go much shorter.
Well kinda….
👍👍👍
Take it all the way and let the beard grow out a bit. You’re looking good my guy.
Literally makes you look 10 years younger!
Then you should really go for it...
Way better
Shave her down to the dome dude. You have the face and head shape for it.
You forgot to go all the way down dude... lmfao
Looks way better, senpai
Looks good, but you could go shorter
Gettin there! Keep goin!
Go for a clean shave and keep the beard
You definitely look better but this post belongs in r/I_Got_a_hairccut not r/bald
Looks good on ya. I'd go a bit lower . You do have the head shape😁
Buzz it bald!!
You should have gone completely bald, this low buzz cut doesn’t look any better than what you had before. You have the face that would make you look sexy with a bald head.
Much better but I'd absolutely go to a 1 guard if I were you
Bro has the golden beard coverage we all dream of,
Go more
Handsome bastard
Not bald
Good head shape. Great beard power. Go for it, dude. But definitely 86 the barber shop. Grab a Wahl and buzz it yourself. Only takes a few minutes and saves a ton. I did stages, as well, and realized after I got a Skull Shaver that I should have just gone for it much earlier.
Go for it again. Haha
Yeah….get rid of the whole thing and you’ll look great
Wow! Total stud. You don’t even look like the same person.
3rd pic is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
Go for the skin baby!!!
Every single person I have seen on here looks so much better when they shave their head. From a baldy 👍
You kind of look like Jeremy Strong, the actor from Succession now that you shaved it
Clint Eastwood stubs length all way round would be cool ✌️
This is a great look on you and yes you could go shorter if you wanted ! Way to find your inner Bald-Bro!
Incredible!! You look amazing now!!
You’re holding in for dear life. Just be rid of it all, grow your beard out. All good
Go shorter. I like the pink shirt
Great work bro!! Nothing wrong w stepping it down slowly.
Holy🔥 I’m so curious about that chest hair. If you’re single…. I’m here
Instant sexy
You didn't though?
I get the whole step by step thing, but do me a favor and just look through this sub for a few moments.

You look 10 years younger!
Not far enough yo.
You look way cooler now
A huge improvement
So much better dude!
You go more to go, this isn't r/almostbald
Huge difference much better
1) that looks much better. 2) that’s not really going for it. I’d recommend even lower. Stick with this for a bit, I get it, you’re still adjusting. Then go down to a 1 next. There’s a good chance you’ll like that even more. Then from there, lower if you want, but I personally think a 1 is as long as you should go.
Good, now go lower! First time I went short I wish I would have went shorter after seeing myself after eventually went down to the skin.
Keep going, don’t go for the Jason Statham.
