now that I'm almost 40, the horseshoe is starting to show as you can see from the picture below taken in early April after my last surgery.

It's funny, we both had surgery and both got lazy in shaving and documented our MPB progression because of it!   O0 ;D

PS, I did answer the survey.  But it should have had a option where there is a lot of thinning!  As you can see in my pic from my previous post, I have the bald spot in the back and thinning all over the top.  Looking back at family genetics, my grandfather on my dad's side  had the hair pattern I have now in his 50's. and ended up with the fringe.  So I think that is where I am going.  So I answered horseshoe.

Well I looked at your photos...I was going to say that at that time you would have been a four except that you appeared to be losing it some on the sides, which would put you at five...My apologies for not including "thinning" on the original poll, I thought as long as skin was showing it would be considered bald. I guess if you could vote again you would vote on either the third or fifth choice, I voted receding hairline on myself, but maybe I should have voted "horseshoe" too. Funny your pics from 2010 look like my photos now, except my sides are slightly higher, BTW the shorter beard looked pretty good too, although the thick beard that you sport now is pretty nice also!

My hairline is receding but still decent, my crown on the other hand is quite thin. It doesn't show much with a #1 buzz or less but anything more than a #2 buzz and its pretty obviously balding. My dad was the same way at my age, and was a norwood 7 by age 28. I'm gonna be one of those fast balders! One of my favorite things about not having hair now is not having to deal with the actual, physical loss of hair i.e. the shower, pillows. The other young baldies know what I'm talking about!
i know what ya mean by pillows and shower. in my late teens, i would clean the hair from the drain and pillow, so nobody would see it. makes me sick thinking about that now.

Started out at a less severe Norwood 5A around 21-22.  Still at a 5A at 26 but more pronounced at the fringe.  Expecting to be Norwood 6 with age.
sounds similar to me. but I jumped from NW5 to 7 fast, like 18 months.

at some point along the way, i didn't give a sh*t how much hair fell out and wanted it all gone.

I’ve gone from a Norwood III vortex to a Norwood VI from the time I transitioned from cartridge shaving to straight razor shaving and I transitioned about six years ago

Just a little at the temples. Leaves me a lot to shave, but worth it!
