Found this webbikeworld link whilst looking for a new helmet. From the helmets I've had/tried on it seems quite accurate. It may help others choosing potential helmets as well.

Bell Vortex, Med (Slightly Narrow) - pressure on my temples
Shoei X-11, Med (Slightly Narrow) - pressure on the sides of my head
Shoei XR-1000, Med (Medium Round) - perfect fit
Shoei RF-1100, Med (Neutral) - good fit
AGV Stealth, Med (Neutral) - ok fit


From this I think I have a Neutral to Round-ish head and can forget about a Shark RSI, RSX, Arai Vector, Shoei X-11 etc.

the AGV med fits me perfectly too

add KBC VR2R to the list if you like, medium is too tight across my forehead

The guy from Helmet Harbor that does the reviews on youtube also discusses head shape though he's a bit of a douche. He chuckles a lot!
