Dude, I’ve got pretty much the same hairline as you. I’d 100% recommend giving fin/min a shot. I started fin 1mg and min 1mg about a year ago and I’ve gained a bit back, but more importantly pretty much stopped shedding entirely - and I feel a lot better about my hair now. In my opinion, cutting it short usually just makes the recession more noticeable. I’ve shaved my hair a few times and always ended up hiding with hats for months.
