From shaggy to not

After spending many, many months of not getting a haircut nor trimming my beard, this recent weekend I figured the time was right. Partly because my hair had exceeded the ''retro '70s'' phase of shaggy-ness, and partly because at this stage of my life -- including the gradually receding hairline -- I just think I look better with shorter hair. Plus, the new semester had started, and I wanted to look decent for teaching.

As per usual, I got out the ol' electric clippers, put the spacer attachment on it, and went at it. The Girl helped some -- at her request. And The Lady tidied up the parts I couldn't see.

The beard stuff I did on my own.

Just because I had a lot of excess on the beard to play with, I tried out the ''pharaoh look''. Alas, The Lady said it made me look sleazy.

Fair enough -- I was just experimenting...

So, this is the final look -- asymmetrical ears and all.

Hopefully, by the time you're thirty-eight, yer satisfied with your face. :)
