I recently got my hair cut and ended up with an "undercut" haircut, although with slightly longer sides and shorter on top than is typical for this haircut. The general idea is very short around sides and back with long hair on top that can be styled straight back or with a side part (I have a side part). I have thin hair with a mature hairline/ Norwood 1.5 and this is the most pleased with a haircut I've been in a long time. I've also noticed lots of guys wearing it who are pretty far receded and you can barely notice that.
If you remotely think you can pull off this look, I highly recommend trying it. The contrast between short and long on top makes receded temples look much more straight across somehow. The longer hair on top going back is good for the vertex area and it's kind of all directed to the top/back of the head, where the density is needed most.
Not really related to anything but I wanted to suggest it to people as I have experimented a lot and think this is a great option.
Some examples...
