Should I go for it?

Are you maintaining?
I keep my head trimmed to 1/2 -5/8". Considered shaving, but haven't done the deed yet.

 

Try and you may never go back . Thrice the shaving pleasure.

 

Standard Male Pattern Baldness. I'm somewhere between Jason and Bruce.

Not worried or embarrassed. With the curliness I've kept mine short anyways. Maybe when the weather warms up.
