Re: Mattingly, I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!
For some reason, this doesn't work for me. Meaning two hours in and it was a ragged mess. Even my barber has a bit of difficulty getting the clippers to cut well. We agree it's due to the fineness of my hair. I tried doing the head-hair-half-the-length-of-the-beard look. Won't be doing that again.D.A. Ridgely wrote:Some of us (Bruce Willis, me) look better with the semi-bald look available to any guy with a bargain basement electric shaver set at the lowest level or even with the safety cap removed (it's still next to impossible to cut or nick your scalp with such devices).
The process takes less than a half hour in the comfort and privacy of your own bathroom and the only difficult part is getting the hairs right around your ears and at the nape of your neck (which, for some unintelligent design reason, are different from scalp hair).
Some white guys pull off the completely shaved look well; most don't. OTOH, looking like your first day of boot camp is, if nothing else, not nearly as much of a culture shock or setting for undeserved sympathy from those who suspect chemo is the culprit.
As a general rule, the older you get, the younger you look with very short hair. My advice would be to spring for the shaver, try it and realize that if you decide to go back to a barber, you're still out only slightly more, if that, than you'd have paid for that last haircut, tip included.
Since we've temporarily moved on to head hair, let me say how much I hate getting my hair cut. It's too pricey (even at my discounted rate) and takes too much time. I generally go 4-6 months between cuts. That will be stretched out a little this year, as I'm unsure of the politic way to ask "where do white people get haircuts?"

And you people encouraging him? Really. Hugh needs a good haircut, and you guys are all "DIY Flowbee FTW!". C'mon.
For some ungodly reason, my bf had some kind of receding hairline home hair cut tipping point too. Something about dignity; obviously didn't make any sense because home hair cut.
I'm pretty over it at this point but I still roll my eyes.

That's the way this trains a' headin'. I really like my new barber/barbershop.

Huh. For some reason, I was not expecting Dangerman to be an actual bad-ass.Dangerman wrote:I just got a trim. Photos here.
I think that if we got Dangerman, dhex and Number 6 together, we could take over a train or something. Maybe a missile sub.

Yeah I don't need any extra oil on my face. I'll stick with soap.

Re: Mattingly, I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!
After a week, you can even give up the oil and use only warm water. You will find that you will be able to shave ever more swiftly and with ever more abandon. A man can shave his whole face in 20 seconds without a single abrasion.
