Have any of you done this?  Quit shaving your head to see how far the MPB has gone?  Anyway, going on two weeks ago, I got lazy and did not shave for two days.  At that point, I got curious to see how far my MPB has gone as I know that I have areas that there is much less stubble or no stubble.  When I first started shaving my head, The front was in retreat and then I started getting the bald spot in the back, which I discovered when I fully grew my hair back about 10 years ago.

When I had surgery in 2010 I grew it back and had noticed it was very thin.  I have a stubbly Norwood 6 pattern back then.  It is still stubbly but a even more pronounced thinning.  In the back of my head I am now seeing the thinning patter go even lower.  I have never worn the "hairy toilet seat" before but I may let it go a month or two just to see how it looks.  But I will go back to Sly.

But have any of you done this out of curiosity?

PS....I am posting this with my ipad and the photos appear sideways.  But when I click on em to make them larger, they appear normal.  Let me know how they look for you?

Every year I go hunting and end up not shaving for about week. During that time I'm able to see where my MPB is.

Hi Marsh,

I haven't let mine grow back more than a few days. I don't want to see how far my mpb has advanced. I prefer to think I'm just naturally smooth and shiny!

The beard looks great by the way!

I am looking at this with a pc at work and the pictures do not right themselves.  I will fix it on the home pc later.

I bet you will feel relieved to shave it back off!     

Yeah, do you really think you will be able to stand that for a month or two?

No worries!!!!!  I will be sly again!  But when I do, I plan on going to a shop at the mall called, "The Art of Shaving".  They offer straight razor head shaves.  I have always wanted to treat myself to that.  So that may be interesting.  But I also do plan on documenting my noggin when it grows out more.  But no worries about the Bozo look, skullet or a combover.  It will not get long enough for any of those!     

I think everybody has some strays on top.  I can feel them after skipping a day of shaving, but they are much finer and less coarse than the hair in the horseshoe area.  I could probably let them go for a good while before anyone could see them.

About a week or so ago I went an entire weekend without shaving which is a real rarity for me.  It just got too late in the day on Sunday and I did not want to wreck my Monday morning shave by shaving late in the day on Sunday.  It was a relief to get smooth again.

Welcome back from the dark side.
