Shaving head early in hair loss // save some pride, easier minox application

I think the decision to trim it down is a bit more tricky for people with receding hairlines than diffuse thinners. Do you have any recent pictures BT?

Yeah, here's my Fin thread. Poor quality picture from last week there, but some slightly better quality photos from a couple weeks ago.

Forehead is massive with weak hairline but my vertex is pretty solid. Actually, I noticed that since I started fin that the tiny bit of crown exposure I had filled back in. My rear vertex looks perfect thick -- wet or dry. My hairline and one of my temples are toast though.

Depends on why you want to trim it short. If it's to save yourself hassle of styling it or to be more self-confident, I see no reason not to do it. I think you have strong facial features (and one awesome beard) to suit a short cut, if only for the summer.

If it's more about aesthetics there's not really anything wrong with the way it looks now tbh. 99% of the people will not know you're going bald. Currently your hairline looks more matured than receded, I suspected you a more advanced Norwood.
