Hi Drew ..welcome to the forum. You have the right attitude and now is the time to do something about your receding hair. The latest pic there ...your front point looks pretty ok ... the very first pic there [which is a little blurred] where you have your hand on top holding the hair back...... shows a `line` which is more or less hairless... that`s the line I`d shave in front-of [ hope you can follow me there] ...the hair behind is pretty good..... I`d just take off that front inch or so, and include 2 nice temple `triangles` attached to it ......basically try to re-create/replicate the exact area that your own hair used to grow from---you have the right idea there with your red line in the last pic.....just don`t go back too far would be my opinion..it`s just a little thin at the very front there and then the temples are the real ``culprits`` ...should look really good with a nice partial..... Paul.
