I know the feeling, wanting to punch mirrors, which is why I shaved it off once it got too bad.
Keeping growing it out after the thin bird nest phase is really mental torture.
I felt much better once I shaved it off, but maybe it was because it suited me.
No need to go all slybaldguy either, just buzz it, it will look neater and you'll still have some frame.
I think that if you're NW4-6, even the framing of the horseshoe can help a bit aesthetically.
I am planning a three week trip by myself in september. I am going to shave as soon as I get where I am going. That way if i hate it, I can at least grow it back to a 2-3 before I get back. I hope to God it suits me, like it did you. My biggest fears are 1) transplant recipient area looks odd and pitted 2) big head, as I already have a kinda big forehead 3) horshoe is very noticeable. Even the scar doesn't bother me much anymore. Time to take the plunge and do it. A lot of tequila WILL be involved (though I've quit drinking). It's time to f*****g move on.
You're right, growing it out above a four guard nowadays is f*****g mental torture. Thin whispy sh*t.
