Ok. I'm going bald. It's been more than official for a few years now...more like it's old news...I made peace with it a while back too.
All in the front. I used to shave it off. Good for a ready made mohawk, not much else. The Missus doesn't want me to do that anymore. Like she's in some potential gonna be a Bon Jovi flowing mane some day type denial. But, It's only getting worse, and the longer it grows, the more it looks like some weird helmet on my head. Now I'm not gonna say I don't look like some freaky mental-ward potentiate when it is cropped short, as I was not blessed with a nice skull...not pointy. not flat, just sorta...huge.
Like size 8.5 hat huge. And I like wearing hats...but I work in a professional-type, meet vendors and clients situation...and I think I look ludicrous. Can't slick it back, I look like a chunky Bowser. If it flops around, I look like a caucasian Sherman Hemsley with an odd guinea pig pelt on top...
so I guess I was looking for suggestions as to appease both worlds...thoughts? Go longish top short sides? I think that'd be vaguely rockin, yet proudly displaying my fivehead. Am I in denial?
Bear wih me, stream of consciousness here, and everyone else does it...should I just shave it, or consult a pro? As in "salon"? When I had the hair, I wasn't afraid of the salon, but now, I am self conscious.

Use a number one or two (or zero if you want it really short) and be done with it. There will be an adjustment period while you and the wife adjust, but really there is no other option.
Either horsehoe head, rug or shaved.
My vote is shaved.
I might have about 5 years left before mine will be shaved for life.
Edit: Oh and the trick to pulling off a shaved head is to have a muscular body IMO.
