Don't shoot me, but does anyone else like the 'sandpaper' stage?

@Thathawkguy001 , @Razorhead , @reddog , you all need to snap us a photo the next time you try the MPB shave. I also think it would be difficult to get this shave even. Kind of the reverse of keeping a mohawk even.
I have seen guys that have MPB, but not completely bald (just very thin on top) that keep the remaining thin hair on top shaved smooth as well. I have never noticed anyone that shaves a MPB pattern on purpose, unless shaved so well I did not notice.

I left it like this for the day, thinking of doing it again sometime 😅 the way I've been thinning lately it may be natural soon 😂

I?m gonna be honest with you, Hawk Guy, you look so much better with a fresh shave on in the photos that you posted your hair is so dark on the back sides and so much thinner on the top that really would look better with a fresh shave on in my humble opinion

I do this sometimes when I am too lazy to do a full head shave. But my hair is all white, so it looks like I am totally Bald all over my top, when actually I do have sparse front top (not a good hairline and very thin hair) and a large bald crown. I've read that it is a "Barber approved" way for bald men to look neater when they maintain a grown-out fringe (i.e., not keeping a tight clipper shaved fringe on sides and back), but have sparse front hair (or an island of hair) and a bald crown.
