Quote from: professor on September 08, 2018, 09:49:51 AMI am now 8 days into the my first 30 and I can honestly say I am thrilled that I finally made the decision! For the better part of year, I periodically did research on MPB / hair loss and when people decided to shave their head. Many of the search results came back with the same type of results, referencing the Norwood scale and all the various medicines or hair replacement treatments available. As I reflect, it is clear that a large part of me was just hoping to find a site or reference article that stated when you get to this stage you should seriously considering shaving. I knew I had reached a solid IV on the scale and progressing to a V which for me would be a clear tipping point to shave. I am sold on shaving and don't plan on going back but perhaps others are looking at the Norwood scale and asking the question I was.With that, I thought I would ask everyone hear where did they fall on the Norwood scale when they finally made the decision? Finding this site has helped give me the clarity I was seeking and helped finally guide me to the decision I wanted to make, I am thankful.good question. for me, V or VI. it's been a while, so that's my best guess.

I was somewhere between a V and a VI. Glad I went sly!

I must be a bit of an oddball with respect to the Norwood scale, although I'm only familiar with it by seeing the picture in this thread. My front was a 2 and back would have been about a 5, but my hair was super fine everywhere. I just shaved today for the first time, but should have done it long before the back got to a 5. Better late than never!
