My hair again

So, last Sunday night I was doing the ol' ''home haircut'' routine again.


Pretty straightforward:

• Pull up a stool in the bathroom

• Put the spacers on the electric clippers

• Have my 7 year-old daughter shave everything to a uniform length

• Have someone else shave the back of my neck (with the spacers removed)

• And, there ya go.

Above is what I ''usually'' look like, as of late.


And below is what my new haircut **would** have looked like -- if everything had gone according to plan.



But, things don't always go according to plan...

As you can see, even with several attempts, the ''straight, horizontal line'' is not being achieved. And now we're getting into ''bowl cut'' territory.


So: it all had to come off! Which is fine -- for a while now, every time I took the clippers to my head I'd wondered what it'd be like to go full gonzo and shave it all off. And now I'd get to find out.

Of course, if I was going totally bald, I'd have to loose the beard and moustache.


And, I took a pit stop along the way.



So, this is what I looked like last Sunday.

A bit like a rock star, actually. I don't think I have the right facial features to be a ''tough guy''. Maybe if I scowled a bit more.


It's been a week, now, and I like it! It's summertime now, and I feel even the slightest breeze on my scalp; nice.

Also, my hair has started to grow out, so instead of being bristly, it's softened -- like patting a labrador.

And every time I shave my face, there's more of a distinction between my clean-shaven face and my vaguely-existing scalp-hair. So it looks more like a ''haircut'', rather than just being bald.


Interesting stuff.
