That's true. If I end up hating it, I'm probably going to buzz it, even if it does make my fashionable friends cry. I like the one I posted, though, because it is a more nonthreatening haircut, and I need all the help I can get on that front, something about my neutral demeanor is apparently scary, although you wouldn't know it from that picture. But at the same time, if I needed to be a little more metal, I could part it, slick it up a bit, and have hair kinda like Acid Bath-era Dax Riggs. Another important factor for me is not having it in my eyes anymore, and I prefer to avoid a ponytail for the obvious reasons of ponytails on men generally being terrible.
What do you mean by a shear cut, Melodic? I'm pretty sure you don't mean shears as in scissors, because it seems like a buzz cut would require less maintenance because it would be shorter. And what kind of maintenance are you talking about? I use conditioner about half the time I wash my hair, I was told I wasn't supposed to do it every time.
