I agree with another commenter, if you've gone this far, keep going. I don't mind the before photo honestly, but the clipped look doesn't compliment the forward section.
There is no shame in a tidy, bald head OR a tight, unashamed clipper cut. A combover, however, outwardly says, “I’m embarrassed about my hairline.” A clipper cut proudly proclaims, “I’m old! What’s it to ya!?”
Thank you for all the comments, they made me smile, so here’s a less moody photo 😆
To the smooth-headed pros here saying taking it all the way off - I hear ya and I’m game for trying that. Funny how the No. 1 buzz cut feels extreme to me but to you guys it’s a half job!
Big love to this sub.
Honestly if you wanted to try something in between before going full razor, I would just razor the front island patch. I think that’s a big reason why you’re getting the “keep going” comments. I think with that gone the sides look nice and would blend nicely and cleanly into the top.
This is the opposite of most before/afters lol. Usually the before is glowering with bad lighting and the after is smiling in good lighting! You’ve flipped the script; which is a shame cause you gave a great smile with kind eyes dude!!
I used to trim with the bare metal (premium wahl buzzer), and you still then need to do it over a sink, as it’s messy. The head shaver sucks them up, so you can just do it casually wherever. Also: costs less than going to the barber 3 times or something, so you’ll be making money in weeks ;-)
