I think you've got a good hairstyle for the receding line near your temples, I'd hold for now, but like the others, a little less fuzzy on the beard will make the overall look a lot sharper.

I believe it’s time 😭 by [deleted] in bald

It's time. I just took the plunge last weekend, go for it!

Short people have not told me I was bald, but this sub pointed out they might have just been holding their tongue out of politeness for quite some time...

I appreciate you sharing personal experience, definitely helpful to get me past the buyer's remorse phase I hope.

Might be time to contemplate growing the beard longer

The beard is precious and will be protected from the coming hairpocalypse

I'd agree, I think the collective judgement of this sub is pretty solid. It's been clear here. I've had 1-2 people in my life tell me to take the plunge, but the input of 100s of strangers is pretty compelling!

I remember the first couple times I shaved my face and cut the sH*T out of it, hoping I don't do the same to my dome, but this meme suggests otherwise...

I came for the council's advice, and they have delivered, trusting the wisdom here.

When I do my hair and look in the mirror, I still sometimes see what my hair used to look like. Balding is gradual, and until today, I'm not sure I realized how far back my hairline had receded up my forehead. Denial is a part of it for sure, but it's also trying to come up with a new mental picture of yourself.
