maybe the barber took a little more than you were expecting?

Nope!! He cut it just as I asked!! What surprised me was how cold my head
felt for a while!!

I went just over a year between haircuts (March 2020 to March 2021) -- no before and after pictures, sorry. Like gunstockjack , I was happiest about hats fitting on my head right again.

I have to get my hair cut every month or it drives me crazy.

I guess your hat always fits right!!

That is true.

During lockdown, I figured out how to cut my own hair. I haven't been back to the stylist since. I save $30 every time.
If I give myself a haircut every day, I'll be rich.

I finally had to get a hair when track started. When the wind would blow I couldn’t see my vaulters!

I had that problem until I learned to run faster than the wind. Then your hair will go straight back.

That’s a good one!

You aren’t by any chance a government economist, are you?

Skeptical of my ciphering?

10 Second Rule...same as food.

My wife cuts my hair. It saves a lot of money, and she does a good job. I always tell her I don’t care what it looks like - she’s the one who has to look at it, not me. Also, the fact that she has to be seen with me in public is probably motivation enough to do it well.

 

[Headwinds]

Skeptical of my ciphering?

Not at all. In fact, I was going to save some money by not buying a knife today, and then I realized I could save twice as much by not buying two knives. At this rate, I should have enough saved to not buy a new car in a year or so.

The barber in my town is a woman ...I dont like the idea of women near my scalp with scissors...So I travel 40 min to Rays of Moruya...proper mens barber with cool music and world problem solving conversation....excellent!...that plus the lady barber in town has 2 signs on the door...either Closed or Back in 10 Min...
Hopeless.

I have been giving myself a haircut and beard trim about once a month for the last year or so. Saved a few hundred dollars.

A nice lady comes to our house to cut my hair every few months outside on the patio. Our daughter. There are some benefits to living in California.

This just occurred to me:

Given my fondness for large, inexpensive knives, if you said I had “deep pockets” it would be true in the literal sense but not in the figurative sense.

I was planting lettuce and potatoes at the farm yesterday, and I think working on my hamstrings is paying off. Not so long ago, that crouching and reaching might have caused me to fall on my head and suffocate in the furrow.

That is the verry reason I would never get a haircut or shave between September and May... I freeze to death if I do!

Of course, I keep wanting to say "my condolences" to you for having to do it at all.

I haven't had a haircut, not even a trim since summer of 2012... it stopped growing in about 2015. Haven't had the beard off since around '11 I think, if not the year before. It gets trimmed once a year, in the summer so its not cold..
