This seems a tad underexposed/lacking in contrast, but the facial expression is priceless and you've definitely captured personality here.

He has interesting eyes (made so, in part, by your lighting and in part by PP work). I would like to have seen a little more "expression" in his face.

You might have gone a little too light on the forehead. The cut out isn't bad (I rarely do cut-outs because the hair is usually so difficult to get right). The difficult area here appears to be his collar and a patch of hair above his left ear (right side of image).

B&W treatment is pretty good. Not sure if I like the shirt completely black, but the skin tones are good (the lips could be a little lighter, he looks like he could have lipstick on).

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Hopefully helpful.
