I did it! Yay or nay??

Been battling thinning and receding all through my 30s. I'm just about to turn 41 and impulse shaved it. This is a really weird feeling for me and I'm pretty self-conscious when I see someone who knows me, but has never seen me bald before. I didn't go right to the wood and have since cleaned it up at a barber with more of a skin fade and number one on top.

I still don't know if I should grow it back or just let it go and embrace the new look as much as I think I look stupid. Or possibly even go with a real shave right to the skin.

Would love some feedback. Please be honest as I'm getting too old for sugarcoating things haha.

Please excuse the bathroom Reno.
