My Dad has the MPB pattern, and has been shaving with no guard for awhile.
As of a couple weeks ago, he is fully sly. Never encouraged him, just talked about shaving a lot. -

My dad had a horseshoe until he saw my shaved head. I gave him a headblade, headslick and Bald Guyz moisture gel and he has been slick ever since

I know this topic says "DOES your dad have mpb...etc". My dad has been gone 9 years. But I was sly before he died. My dad had the extremely thinning version of MPB. If he had been in good health, I might have encouraged him to go sly as I feel that I look a lot like my dad. But he had Parkinson's Disease, so shaving himself would have been impossible. But he didn't like the sly look on me. He once told me, "Marshall, it looks like hell!". But I should say that BOTH grandfathers were bald. My cousin on my mom's side has hair like mine, if I grew it out. His kids have encouraged him to go sly. My uncle on my mom's side also was bald on the crown.

My dad has MPB, and about once a month still visits the barber. Last visit he surprised everyone with a short (about a #2) buzz.

Ditto...MPB for Dad AND he also has seborrheic dermatitis. Given that mom & dad live in Las Vegas, the air is drier than we have it here in Northern Calif. So, his SD is really bad. I've told him that I get complete relief from SD by shaving the dome....he still won't do it.
Oh well, can't teach an old dog .................... -

I am 24, my father is 51. He has started losing hair, nothing too significant yet.
I have lost a bit more hair than him.
I could never recommend him to shave it. lol, he will be like what the *** are you talking about?
In my culture (from Middle East) shaving it off is not typical yet. -

My Dad and 2 brothers both have full heads of hair. I'm the only one in my family EVER to have MPB. Guess i'm just more evolved than the rest. LOL

My Dad had thinning hair and receding hair line. He passed away at 51, but had more hair then than I had at 51. Both Granddads had horseshoes.

Was the milkman bald?
I'm sort of in the same boat. My mom's dad was bald but not until he was older. Two of my mom's brothers are thinning -- but they are 62 and 70 years old. My dad's dad had all of his hair until the day he died. My dad is getting thin on top but still has a decent amount of hair for his age. Somehow I ended up being the only one to get full-blown MPB at 30-something years of age.
