Whatever you do, don't use ear hair!
Yes, I like facial hair myself, but not ZZ-Top length. I grew some for my mid-life crisis (instead of getting a tattoo, earring or motorcycle). When I go bald I’ll do a comb-over, draping my beard up one side of my head across the top and down the other...
Whatever you do, don't use ear hair!
Interesting...I am completely the other way, and as I got older, I cut my hair shorter and shorter until I was sporting a high and tight cut shaved high up the sides, but...my hair growth is completely spotty (looks like a moth has chewed on my hair)
I couldn’t get the high and tight to look good, and it started to look more and more like a mohawk and less like a high and tight. My wife started trying to help by using clippers to try to grade it, but I had a big oval spot (about two inches) on the side of my head where I injured my head and the hair doesn’t grow.
Finally, last month, I just said the Hell with it, and now shave my head completely, which I really like. LOL, some folks don’t know how to take it, but...in my view, it is just hair. I can grow it back.
It makes shaving a far more interesting task in the morning now. I shave in the shower, and completely cover my head and face with shaving cream, and it takes about 12 minutes for me to complete shaving. I had been doing it for about two weeks, and cut my head behind my left ear so badly it took about three weeks to heal. I learned a lesson there...you have to be deliberate
I enjoy shaving, because for years, I couldn’t shave. I have scars on my face from when I was in the Navy, and they made me shave every day, and I got those ingrown hairs which are really, really nasty. I took to using a depilatory paste that a lot of black guys used, but I hated that stuff because it smelled just god-awful, and you could burn your face with it. When I got out, I had two cases of it that I brought home with me and used it for a few years until I simply stopped trying to shave every day.
I hated having a beard, just didn’t feel good on me, so for about 25 years I had a continual three days growth before it became “fashionable”...:)
Back around 2005, the head of our department was a woman who had been a colonel in the US Army, and she stopped me in the hall and asked my why I didn’t shave.
I explained it to her, and she said simply: “Use antibacterial soap on your face.” That was it. I did wash my face before shaving, but...it didn’t help. Once I started using Dial liquid soap, I was able to shave every day after that, and wondered why nobody had ever told me that. (She was a physician)
I know some people hate it, but I love the way it feels every morning to be completely clean and fresh.
Now, I realize I am starting to get Scottish eyebrows and hair in my ears, damnit!
