My hairline has gotten a little worse since I joined this site last April. BUT - for some crazy reason I have been thinking I *might* only have a mature hairline. This was unthinkable to me a year ago but I have slowly come to that realization. On the other hand, I have some solid recession going on. Do you guys think it has receded too much to be classified as one?

IMO the last picture is a little scary but could just be a bad angle - it makes my recession look huge but it's only about a finger's breadth on both sides. It could also be due to a shed as I started minoxidil foam about 2 1/2 months ago (hairline only).
Right now I am happy with my hair. I've come to terms with the recession and in fact have started styling my hair to expose my hairline. I think it looks kinda cool. But what I want to know is if you guys think I am just a typical early stage receder or will perhaps keep this hairline for a while.
And finally......don't trust all hairline pics you see. I took this one right after the last with my hair styled. Looks very......NW1.5? I love hair wax, but very misleading in terms of the actual status of my hairline.
