I think you could go either way. Honestly I think it is whatever you feel comfortable with. I don't think any of us think we will look good with a shaved head because we are used to our hair and we all think our head is a strange shape when in reality it is normal looking. As someone who has never seen you before the pictures you posted I think you look good the way you are but you also have the facial structure to clipper it short or shave it. I know it's easier said than done !!

I'll be straight-up and say yes, shave your head. I think once your hair loss has got past a certain point, it's time to shave it off rather than trying to cling to what's left. Trying to cling just looks awful on every guy, no matter what he looks like. I do also think you could pull it off, your head is a decent shape, you have a good amount of facial hair to compensate, you appear to have quite strong facial features from what I can see. That kind of face can really carry a bald head very well and even look better without hair on the head.
If you shave it and decide you hate it, and a transplant isn't possible, you might try looking at non-surgical hair replacement, like SMP or hair systems. Not every guy likes the thought of those, but it's at least worth looking into.

He would probably spend a lot of time looking in mirrors , seeing what it looks like

I see some guys who are reeceding in the front and the rest of their hair is intact...that's the best scenario in my opinion, for me....from the begining the whole balding area contoured and started thinning all at once but it seems now my hairline is dying faster
You are right a diffuse thinner isnt a great candidate for transplant. Shave your head. Too much has been lost. Especially if you cant take Propecia.
