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

@Razorhead , I still have most of my hair, so if I only shave the top and crown, I only have the fringe on the sides and bottom of the back. I know it's weird, but it feels cool. I only keep it for a day, then shave it all.

It's not so weird actually. I'll do it to clean the top out because my MPB is just getting more and more distinct. If I want some head fuzz, it just looks a little tidier with a fringe. I know a couple other guys that do it also -- just keep the top clean and have some fringe. Still owning your baldness.

I cannot do that because my totally bald spot is my crown in the surrounding area, but I still have a bit of a front hairline even though my hair is profusely thin

Also, I have SMP on my scalp so even if I shaved out the middle, it would still look like there was hair follicles under there

Semi, how does the SMP work with grey/white hair?  Does it give you a salt and pepper look?

@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.

Yes, exactly. The SMP looks like I have thinning gray hair just not as thin and not as great as it really is. It is also faded so that it looks like the hair is cut into a medium high fade.

I like it very much in the winter. It helps hold my stocking cap on my head.

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
