Haven't been to snappy cuts in over 15 years
« on: May 17, 2008, 08:55:35 AM »
I'm new to Sly. I had some obnoxious spiked up hair in high school before it was cool, when it was cool, and then after it was cool.  :*))
I decided to go 180 and get a crew cut, but no stylist would do it. Three places actually refused to give me the cut I wanted! I bought a set of clippers and did it myself. I've played with the length and finally shaved a few years ago. Pretty wild when strangers come up to you and ask if they can touch your head!  8)  As for the gear, I don't use HeadBlade stuff (never tried, but I'm considering it). Edge shave gel and Gillette Mach 3 blades have been the best combo I've found. When I started I was using some 99-cent can of Barbasol and disposable blades.  :'(  Anyhoo, I'm glad I found this site. Time to go poke around.

Welcome to the group Irish. I find that curious that nobody would give you a buzz.

Hey: welcome to SBG's.  cool look goin on there. O0

I remember being told that a crewcut 'flat top' would cost me extra when i asked for one before going sly.  Something to do with it being a difficult cut to get right! :/O  The guy who was my barber was sly, so probably he was a little out of practice?! ;D

Don't mess with success. No need to change your shaving gear.
Welcome to the hood. I'm interested in the derivation of you name.
I'm assuming your Irish and wear lot's of black. That's cool! 8)

Welcome there Black Irish, great to have you with us.   Wouldn't be one of the black Irish from the Chicago area, would you?

Thanks for the welcome! I grew up in Chi-town but have been part of the frozen chosen in Minneapolis the last 10 years or so.
