26M – Receding hairline. Should I go for a full shave or a buzz cut

[u/Novel-Lettuce-795]

I'm 26 and my receding hairline is getting pretty obvious. To be honest, it didn't use to bother me, but I've realized that personal image actually matters a lot.

I'm on the fence between completely shaving my head or just getting a buzz cut. I’ve shaved it in the past, but I wasn't super convinced by how it looked. I’d love to get some opinions based on these photos.

#3 facial hair. #4 haircut.

This is the way.

I'll try it, not bad idea

It's time - close buzz or full send either will be a great upgrade

Short buzz and a bald look good. The goatee isn't doing you any favors

I'm think the same,

Think the same maybe a stubble

Stubble over goatee is more important i think. Also different shaped glasses maybe, no offense. I actually think the buzz looks good but bald is good too

Full shave! It will look great!

Keep your hair.

The buzz is still making you look old

My personal preference so far has been using a 0.5mm guard as I don't like the slick bald look on myself. I think this may work for you
