forced self isolation

[Dave W]

I figure my next haircut will be in June, or maybe July with the COVID problem here in NY State. By then I'll be a candidate for a pony tail or man-bun (nahh, that man-bun will NOT happen). Last time my hair was this long was DA time in the early '60s, after my whitewall sides army stint. I have asked my wife to trim the back and sides since she has good Wahl pro clippers for our two poodlepups that need a trim every couple weeks but all she will do is trim the neck. Then there are the Andy Rooney eyebrows - but I can trim them.

Recall the razor combs - still available and inexpensive but wonder about the quality of the trim

The saddest part is that haircut was probably intentional & he thinks it looks good.

Wow! Am I showing my age!!!!

I have been pretty much bald since I was eighteen. When I sent my FloBe in for service they told me it starved to death.

So, we are only two days into self-isolation and it is really upsetting me to witness my wife standing at the living room window gazing aimlessly into space with tears running down her cheeks. It breaks my heart to see her like this. I have thought very hard about how I can cheer her up. I have even considered letting her in - but rules are rules.

This reminds me of a friend and her husband that disguised themselves as Q-Tips for a Halloween party. Unfortunately the other guests thought they were disguised as a tampon!

I have been cutting my own hair ever since I retired from the military. The shock of going from a $3.99 haircut to a $24.99 haircut just put one more thing on my DIY list.

Ha! I did the same thing... only when I got out on-base barber shop was $1.75 and civilian shops were $10.00 with a tip.

Sadly it's been years since I've even needed to cut my own

You're on my schedule except target time is usually June or whenever long hair gets too hot. Maybe barbers will be open again by then.

Buy some hair clippers and let her practice on you. Based on my current estimates, three weeks and it should be grown out again! My clippers came in today. The directions don't seem to apply to the model I bought and were written in Wuhan dialect. There are pictures but these are so small they are not helpful. I think we will just dive into hair cutting tomorrow! I also own a bunch of hats so it matters little how this works out.

$25??? Good lord... I get my hair cut over at Go's Barber Shop in Hondo and a haircut is $8. I sure look purdy after a fresh haircut.

I'd be afraid they'd get tangled in my hair and give me rabies.

Were they used in the "wet market"?

Yeah, I was shocked too. The Korean gals at the off post barbers do a message, warm towel, cut and shave. The tip is more than the cut.

I’ve been told that the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is 3 weeks.
