Next time, charge the clippers before starting your bald fade 🙈
okay, I've always been pretty proud of my hair.
I have dark, healthy hair and there's not a lot of grey peeking thru (thanks mom / thanks dad / thanks God).
anyway, for the last couple of decades it's been - good haircut + clean shaven; that's just how I am.
Covid hits and I think: 'No client meetings, no social interaction.... why not just let the beard grow.'
10 weeks later, it's been trimmed, however make no mistake, it's a full beard.
Barbershops everywhere are closed and my hair is getting a little shaggy (like most everyone else).
I have hair trimmers with a variety of attachments.
Three weeks ago, the TrophyWife gives me a trim around the ears and neckline. No worries, it looks good and I'm happy.
Flash forward to last weekend.
I ask her to do the same..... only this time, I screw-up.
I give her the trimmers with the wrong attachment. It's the close one, the number #1.
She does a quick pass and utters "Ut oh..."
I look in the mirror.
This isn't good, but I think it can be salvaged.
She trims more on the sides and the back.
Then some more.
She says: ' You need to take a look at the back, it's not good.'
In the mirror, I take a look at the back; she's right, it's not good.
I think: 'I can fix this; I damn sure can!'
The Trophywife gives up and leaves not wanting to inflict any more carnage. I don't blame her.
I'm right-handed and I'm using my left hand while looking into a mirror that's looking into another mirror while trying to repair a haircut on the back of my melon. The odds of success are slim.
However, I make a pass and think: 'Dang, yeah... this is okay.... just one more pass up just a little higher and I'm good! "
I make the last pass with the clippers. Complete Disaster.
I looks like mange on a hyena. (with apologies to hyenas everywhere.)
Okay, man... think.... what to do?
Semper Fi
Yep... clippers on the closest setting. I ran that *kitten* front to back with about 12 passes to level it all out.
The last time I had a cut like this, I was in the second grade playing little league baseball during the Summer months.
Family reactions were:
'Well, that's different.'
and
'Cool, I like it.'
and
'You screwed up, you should have opted for the mohawk.'
anyway.... from clean shaven and longer, styled hair to full beard & buzz cut.
Next time, charge the clippers before starting your bald fade 🙈
I sure would like to see this
Oh Twitch like I would ever deny a request from you 💕...
I went to high and have to take the lines out... I'll post the finished product if it looks any better 😂...
It’s not bad! I can’t believe you can do that to yourself
Here's the finished product 🤷🏽♂️...
It's not bad, pretty much got the lines out, fair blend... Facial hair, eyebrows, ear and nose hair 👍🏼
*wolf whistle* me likey 😉
Thanks Ladies 🤗😘...
It looked a little better after I took out that line on the other side... It's honestly a never ending thing, like pandoras box or something...
I look at all these videos of Dudes who do it like perfect and it's difficult not to over analyze your work... Sometimes I've gotta say, I'm just not going to spend any more time on it and live with it until next week 🤷🏽♂️

Thank you, I cut it when he was smaller but that was an all over cut.

Hey that's a great job... You've got skills 🤷🏽♂️...
I wouldn't even attempt a scissor cut 😂
Thanks Ladies 🤗😘...

I know I'm late to the dill pickle chips party, but my daughter and I love these. 😂
Start rehearsing lecture.
Everytime I have some sort of test in front of me, I repeat one of my favorite mantras...
"Everything is within, all I do is win"
And sometimes it's "You are the last dragon, you possess the power of the glow"
You imagining yourself as a dragon is just so fitting. 🐉 ❤️
