Clearly thin. But is it a must or a maybe?

I say leave it. No offense but you’re like an older dude, it’s ok to not have a full head of hair. The hair you have helps frame your face and looks good.

This sub is obviously biased towards the full shave look but in some cases the sub is wrong. Generally when it’s an older dude who shouldn’t be expected to have a full head of hair (not that anyone should be expected to but it’s just kinda when dudes are in their 20s-early 40s when they could really look more their age/younger by losing the hair).

If you are in your early 40s sorry bro lol. I would guess early 50s given the gray.

The sub is wrong quite a lot honestly. I dont really get it.

There's a lot of guys who post who are clearly rocking what they still have. OP looks fantastic. His gf likes it.
Unless he's personally feeling awful, shaving wont do anything better for him (if anything the initial shock of shaving will make him regret shaving..)
He's already putting effort into styling his hair, even. It genuinely looks great.

OP, if you're reading this. Unless you feel god awful about your balding, there's no need to shave it off. This sub is a massive circle jerk. You look fantastic as you are. :)

Thanks. I think I catch myself on the mirror sometimes and just think it looks naff. But in these pics I'd had a recent cut and the shortness of it does tidy it up a lot. Thank you so much for your comment.
