I would only add that I have a tapered haircut (see right) -->
But it's not "do ztracena", I'm not shaved in the back!

I think you are right. I have also considered the other options, but I needed to point out that hair is shaved at the back and around ears. Thank you

(classic) taper / graduation


Explanation:
Text from the link:

Classic Taper: Commonly referred to as a short business man's cut or graduation. The hair is left long enough to comb on top and gradually tapers down to 1/8 inch around the ears and the neck. This is a very traditional men's cut that is appropriate for any lifestyle.

text from one link: The term "fade" originated in ethnic shops and has now become the popular term for an aggressively tight taper.
