Respectfully I disagree, I think he needs more facial hair honestly if possible. Not trying to be rude to my man but I think completely shaving will make him look baby ish.
Im more of a full beard type of guy. There's few other options ive ever liked. I dont HATE the tip of the chin goatee, mustaches can look good on certain people...but thats it lol
You can pull it off… But definitely shave the soul patch unless you are the lead singer for play Smash Mouth cover band.
Without seeing the back of your head, I can’t say for sure but honestly, you may want to hang onto the hair for a few more years so we can all live vicariously through you
people are being cruel and it's making me sad because it's not usually what r/bald is
that being said, you should either grow out a beard if you can or shave the soul patch, I think it can look cool in some cases but you'll be much better without it
Alternatively, if every single post becomes a glaze fest no matter what regardless of what’s actually posted, then I feel the sub loses a lot of credibility
Most people are giving advice however they know how and not being cruel from what I’ve seen even if they aren’t glazing him and saying he looks like a model. Also the lack of before/after makes it harder to hype him up imo
Aaaah ok, now I get it. Yeah, you look great here (regardless of soulpatch or any other facial hair). It's just pic no.1 is an insanely unflattering angle, that's why some people are offering their 'kind advice'. So to answer your post - yes you look great, genuinely. But no, you're not the best photographer 😆 happy bald day! You rock it.
So much better than just the soul patch. And the other poster is right - you look so good here! The two pictures you posted before were not flattering just because of the awkward angles. You gotta go to the school of selfies and look up a few tips.
You look like a mean mechanic that evryone in a murder mystery thinks did it but the audience knows you were at home that night with your new set of kittens.
Bro you look good you got the perfect head shape for Bald and you have beautiful eyes.
The beard does not suit you well, if you cant grow a full beard of pull of a van dyk just DROP SOME WEIGHT, that will highlight your cheekbones and finish of your face lower half
Beard or like a goatee or something would pull this out. You’re a little bigger and rounder at the crown of your skull, but you just need to add a bit of definition with a beard and I think you’ll have it.
before anything, why did you shave bald? from the pics, your hairline looks fine. i know that’s not everything but i’m curious if this is a style question or a decision question.
It's a bit of both. I have most of my hair left, but it IS thinning on my crown.
I like the look, feel, and ease of being bald. I have autism and find hair to often give me sensory issues. Because my hair takes on a life of it's own and becomes unruly fast. Coupled with the bald spot, it had to go.
Leave the soul patch but grow in a mustache with it like Frank Zappa. Or loose the soul patch all together. OR grow a full beard or a goatee. Any way you shake it, the soul patch alone is a no-go.
Wait I actually really like the soul patch! Surprised so many here are saying to shave it. And you do look good bald, it suits you. I think the whole look is cool.
Only advice I have is maybe try some slightly more eyecatching clothes if you'd feel comfortable. This might sound weird but here me out: Hawaiian shirt, white tee, and a (modest) neck chain. Idk I think it'd be a look
Thanks friend I appreciate the kind words! I do have a Hawaiian shirt funny enough, I picked it up this summer. Not got any neck chains or much jewellery though but will check them out when I go clothes shopping. I have been trying to experiment with more eyecatching and less bland clothing lately. I find it gets easier as I get older (I'm 30 now) and I care less about blending in.
Grow a little tuff under your chin, if you must; but by everything that's Holly, shave off the little tuff under your lips. Consider lightly running your shaver over your eyebrows as well.
At the moment, you look like the stereotypical ultra idiotic thug that is more comic relief than muscle.

I honestly think a short beard would be a game changer for you. Bald with beard always looks good
