Eyebrow shaving is for fraternity pranks and Vulcans ONLY.
Don’t do it, the girlfriend will get over the odd look as your hair grows back.
Congrats for blasting the lawn down. I’m holding off until a few weeks before my A event.
Leave the eybrow shaving to Dr. Evil.
shave 'em and then ask her how silly it looks;)

I’ve been shaving my head for about 16 years now (well, using clipper with no attachment, so it’s like a second day stuble). I do it every 15 days, takes about 10 minutes.
Life with no hair is much easier, especially in the winter, as it makes hat hair a non issue. In the summer constant need for rubbing sunscreen on my head sometimes gets annoying…
As for original poster’s Groucho Marx unibrow, that’s probably what is making your shaved head look funny. Your girlfriend would probably like you to pluck it a bit, make it into two eyebrows…
"I’m glad I was born when I was - and spent my youth when long haired heavy rock bands ruled. I really don’t understand why anyone would shave their head unless they’re joining the marines. I’m 53 and still wear my hair longish. "
So, you’re one of those trying to hang on to the “good old days of remember when…”?
Kidding, of course…I went with the shaved (clippers with no attachment) look almost 3 years ago; I’ve worn my hair very short my entire adult life and my GF convinced me to try it…and I loved it. After Ironman she then cajoled me to grow it back, and what a pain that has been…It’ll go back to the shaved look around May…
As has been mentioned, you’ve got to have the right head shape to make it work, and sometimes a bit of the facial hair (goatee) seems to work to set off the bald look for those worried about the lack of hair.
And definitely keep the brows…you’ll look like an Albino without them…
“Kidding, of course…”
Nope, no kidding about it. Those were fun times.
I’ve never completely shaved my head but had a “crew cut” when I was 9 yrs old. I grew up as a teenager in the rebellious late 60’s, living on military bases no less, when growing your hair long was considered very radical, especially on a military base. Probably the biggest fights I had with my dad was over my hair length, but that was a typical teenager thing of the time. It’s for that reason that it’s too ingrained in me to ever shave it off.
Besides I’m in the Great White North and a shaved head would feel very cold. I had a beard for several years and then shaved it off one cold February morning. Then I went for a x-country ski. Man, was my face cold. I couldn’t take that kind of cold on my skull.
I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but there’s this modern head warming invention called a “winter hat”. It seems to work well on my shaven head in upstate NY 
Up in Canada we call them a “toque”. I believe it has a Frnch Canadian origin. I don’t think you use the word in the states.
If you see a bald person without eyebrows, chances are he (although sometimes it can be a she) has alopecia. People with this condition lose all body hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. My dad lost it all when he was about 35 and is bald to this day.
my grandfather used to refer to them as a “toque”… he came to the states from france and grew up near the canadian border in upstate NY.
“alopecia.”
Alopecia actually refers to any general kind of hair loss, usually male pattern baldness, but the terms alopecia universalis refers to a full body loss of hair.
We know a guy who has alopecia universalis - absolutely no body hair. The condition developed as a kid. AFAIK, it has something to do with the auto-immune system attacking the hair follicles.
