Went to Supercuts for many years, but got tired of paying $$$ for something that only took a few minutes.
Then, I bought a Wahl and the Lovely Mrs. Schro cut my hair for several years before I went sly.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

When I was still doing the buzzcuts, my wife took care of it for me.  When I decided to go sly, I went to a barbershop and had them use their balding clippers, and I basically took it from there.

A one man shop barber who is extremely popular in my area of town.  Like 15 - 20 years, really great guy, even wound up doing some legal work for him and his family.  I've stopped by, but as nice as he was and as good as he was at doing what he could w/ my "hair" I still had to get real and get sly.

I had a guy that was straight up stuck in the 50's cut my hair most of my life.  He had the "Johnny Bravo" cut going on, with all the gold jewelry.  Tattoos all over his arms from when he was in the service.  He was a really cool guy.  The he moved away and I bounced around to a couple of different barber shops, but it never was the same.  Last few hair cuts I had a friend of mines wife did, and then mother nature took over.  My brother did my first clipper cut with a #3 guard.  Then I bought my own and the rest you can see on the history channel  O:O

I went to a barber, who in fact was sly ( bald by choice).  I used to wish I had the balls to have the same cut, but for a year or two I just kept getting it shorter and shorter, number 3, number 2, number 1.  Finally I asked for a number '0' and he suggested I try shaving it at some time.

I wish he'd given me my first shave, but unfortunately he left the barber shop before I got the courage up.

But he was definitely my inspiration! 8)

I buzzed with beard trimmer twice a week for a long long time.  Decided to go back to sly last December and will never let my hair grow out again Sly for Life  :D

My daughter. She went to school to be a hair stylist. After graduating, she did it for about a year, decided she didn't like it and quit.  We said that's fine, but since we paid for her schooling, she owed us a LOT of haircuts.

I've always cut my own hair, I was in the military and since I knew how to cut hair, I used to cut the other guys hair for a couple of bucks. The only time I went to a barber was just a few days ago to get it buzzed down so I could come home to shave it.

Been using clippers since I was 16 for most of the time . Used the barber for a few years when I had long hair....... But that seems like another life time ago.
