I'm not over 6', nor am I over 200 lbs, and I have had shaved head off and on for the past five years. Being able to pull off a shaved head is more about the shape of your head than anything else. If you have a square cranium, then you're out of luck. I'm lucky, I've had people tell me that I have a perfectly shaped head for shaving (I don't know who comes up with these things...)
I've also found that I think guys look best (at least, white guys) if they have a gotee to offset the bald head. I don't like the way I look when I have a bald head and a bald face. I think the beard lengthens the face and draws attention away from the top of your head.
I say go for it and see what you think. Confidence is important. Of course, so is a good razor and good shaving gel. Whenever I shave my head I immediately splash on some aftershave and then about 30 minutes later use some lotion, since my head will be dry. If I don't use the aftershave first, then I find the lotion causes my head to itch.
Good luck!
