First they came for the barbers, and I did not speak out - because I was not a barber
might be age-related
@sufi , overtly-groomed is a bit ridiculous yet a good haircut is pure luck, hence it nearly always varies unless it’s an ex school mate’s Jamaican gaff reliable between 6-8 out of ten
you walk into any barbers thinking you know how to convey and communicate your information, a language system unto itself, except everything said is an approximation and any interpretation, regardless of ethnicity, is a variable in barber spacetime:
“number?”
- “two to three”
”fade or blend?”
- ”blend”
”square neck or tapered?”
- “squared ta”
”top?”
- “layered”
”last cunt wanted an Ian Brown, seen Forest lately?”
prefer to keep it longer and tuck behind ears since Covid in a Balearic 90’s Murphy revival, oh how twee, lucky it’s still 85% ish crow black,
equally the day you get the trimmers out and no3 blast hack the cunt off all over is a purging feeling in summer, or go further and do the whole lot with a bic (only a few times), then a few maintenance cuts as it sprouts back
likewise with any beardy mumblings, to go for a full wet shave is massively de-stressing, or a tidy up as it returns, no real interpretation issues with Kurds in town
never heard of anyone getting ringworm but it’s out there, only other point is avoiding leather-aproned bs beanie man types, fuck that, are you cutting hair or insta-life-ing
