I got mine cut this week. This total lock down thing is insane and will prove one day to be a mass hysteria. We have 40,000+ flu deaths per year, nobody cares. Swine flu killed 12,000+ people in 2009/2010 and nobody cared. This is so overblown it's ridiculous. If you're in a big city, squished in shoulder to shoulder and taking public transport everywhere, OK I can see a shutdown for awhile. Or make it illegal to be outside without a mask. But shutting down rural communities and destroying small businesses on the off chance somebody gets COVID-19, when there are treatments for it that are low cost and effective (that the MSM are going out of the way to hide/denigrate) is again - insane.

My wife usually cuts my hair, so it won't impact me.

Even if she didn't, I have been known to put a #1 (https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) comb on the electric and take care of business myself.

When I was in my 20s, I actually had nice hair. Between the thinning and greying that have occurred over the last 3 decades, I can only just barely rock a "full head of hair", so if I **** up the #1 (https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) comb thing, I'll just shave it to the skin. The world will have lost nothing in the process. :yesnod:

:seasix: Mine turned gray early, and is damn' near white now but it grows like a mofo. I usually get a #2 (https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2) cut but, I don't trust anyone in this house to pull that off. :D

I get my hair cut every 2weeks with a 1.5 and it's past two weeks and already looking goofy.

I might just do the hair clipper thing like Moe suggested at some point.

When you have longer hair it takes a while before it starts looking weird. Not so much when it's super short.

I'm not sure I totally agree. When I was 20-25 years old, yeah, I could grow my hair as long as I wanted, and it would still look good. But what I have observed for years is "the less hair you have, the shorter you have to keep it to avoid looking like a dork".

Like I said, I still have enough hair that I can pull off the "full head of hair" thing, as long as I keep it less than maybe 3" long at the longest point. If I try to wear it longer than that, there just isn't enough hair to pull it off, and I look like some kind of dork preparing for a really bad combover of some kind.

I accept the fact that even at this time, I might be giving myself too much credit for head hair. :shrug:

Was thinking I would grow mine out again anyway. Let it go shoulder length when I retired but cut it a year or so ago. I've never had a buzz cut in my life and have no plans of change that.

You completely misunderstand my post.

I was talking about hair length and how long you can get away without a cut. Wasn't talking at all about coverage. I still have all my hair.

If one has extremely short hair like I do it looks goofy in a couple weeks. As in it's obvious you're overdue for a cut. If one has longer hair it takes months before it starts to look goofy (assuming it was properly cut and styled to begin with).

I've done both a 1 and a 2 with my own clippers. As long as you go every possible direction a few times, it's as good as what you pay for. :seasix:

Ask her. She may just appreciate a few bucks...

On Friday night, we ordered takeout from a local mom/pop Italian food joint. Because of they lock down, their dining room is closed, so they're doing takeout. The we very appreciative of us placing an order. And yes, I tipped as if we had been dining there.

The Mrs. has cut mine for the last 30 years. Three times a year whether I want her to or not. I might raise a mullet but you need hair up top to get the effect... not happening for this guy.
