I have to be careful not to go into any detail. I have only one deleted post in my time here, and if I remember correctly, it was about manscaping.

(His favorite dad joke).

I grew up in AZ and always buzzed my own hair due to the heat, always in the pool, etc. I have screwed up my hair many times. When young and older.

Since Covid, I’ve been back to doing it myself again. I have far less “room to work with” these days.

I just go over my entire head with a 5/8" guard. Have not been to a stylist since the pandemic. Hairlines are a little tricky, but I'm getting better. I occasionally screw up though as well.

We all have beauty.

And I could get into an hour long conversation about ear and nose hair.

Now I shave to get a better fit on my mask. I use a cheapo Bic disposable.

called to ask us did we know the diff between 2 and 5. Said sure. He said he thought he had the right one on the hair clipper but NO and wound up with a buzz. He is 65. Still laughing . . . .
