Not yet bald, but last April I took a selfie of the top of my head and noticed quite of bit of thinning.  From eye level it looks normal.

At some point if it becomes very noticeable, I will just laser the rest off.

Bald by Choice since July 2023!  Having hair is overrated.

I'd say I'm definitely in the Norwood 5 range now, with a clear NW6 pattern developing. There?s significant thinning in both the front and the crown, and what?s left is basically a narrow bridge of hair across the mid‑scalp. Seeing a recent photo really drove it home. Between the thinning and the silvery hair, it felt like the right time to shave it off again. I bounce back and forth between having hair and a shaved head. I?m genuinely happier bald anyway.

The funny part is I started shaving my head 20 years ago when I still had a full head of hair. The thinning happened gradually over time, but the shaved look has always felt like the most natural fit for me.

Started shaving as a NW4/5, now I'm a full NW7 horseshoe.

Shaving is definitely not optional anymore.
