Of course, he's a great guy and it's just that now I don't use his excellent services.  I mean for years he helped keep up appearances until I reached a point, entirely not his responsibility, where I had to face that no matter how skillful the cut, I was and very much looked the part of a balding old f*rt.  I had long before known that I wouldn't do that.   In fact he gladly buzzed me about six weeks before I went to the blade--I had just done the buzz too late to be able to live as a buzzed guy--the hairline was shot--uneven, and too thin on top.  Under any light at all, I looked like I was a balding guy w/ a fringe, and, pardon the rhyme, I cringe.  It had to go.  I mean although I might not have a  perfect bald head, no one and I mean no one whomsoever, has a good head for a dying mop.  In my opinion any balding guy is going to look better clean compared to thin sparce uneven growth hanging from the top of the dome.

You can still go back to get your facial hair groomed.

I definitely don't miss mine, I haven't seen her since I was a little boy.

Don't exactly miss my barber, but he was a great influence on my going Sly because he was the first shaved bald dude I'd ever actually known.  Every time I went in there (usually for a number 1 or 2 buzz) I wished I had the courage to ask him to shave it all off, but I never did. 

 8)Reckon he'd have given me a great shave if he'd still been working in the barbers locally, but he left just before I went sly.  Don't know where he is now, but I sort of owe my sly look to his influence! 8)

I used to hate getting my hair cut mainly because I hated my hair (which makes it all the more ironic that I have problems with going bald  :/O), however I would say that the woman who used to cut my hair played a huge part in the process of me going sly. 

I live in a part of the world where people generally call a spade a spade, she said to me one day as she was cutting the back of my head, "Are you sure you dont want me to cut it all off?" we then had a conversation about thinning hair and how it was better to go shorter gracefully than hold onto a thin covering!  She suggested a number 2 and I insisted on going the whole way and going for a number 1 - that was it and my hair has never been longer than that since.  A while after that I went to Budapest for a weekend and did the deed the whole way!
A SBG's head shines so other SBG's always have the opportunity to see the reflection of how good they look!

Yes I do. Before I shaved my head I move about 1 1/2 hours from my home town.
But I would still go back to get my hair cut.
The Gal who cut my hair had been doing it for over 15 years and was an old friend.
She'd call me when she would move to another salon.
She was short, had hair down almost to her knees and large breast  :@` which she'd press against you.
Usually when I go back to visit it's on Sunday so she's not working, and as she always has scumball boyfriend I can't visit her house. :Xo!
