Quote: aceofspadesI love how some people will gamble hundreds or thousands of dollars but balk at a haircut costing anything over a sawbuck…where is the logic?
I dont gamble that much, my typical bankroll on a trip is 100 a day. Anyway, I used to always go to a barber leaving about a inch or more. A few years ago, decided to really cut the hair short, 1/2 inch. Barber got out the electric razor and cut it all off. As my hair was getting cut, I was thinking to myself, I can do that. Now I cut my hair once a year. Give myself a buzz cut, let it grow out over a year. Once it gets irritating, long and in the eyes, about a year, give myself a buzz cut again.
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

Maybe a good WoV activity after the McNugget challenge would be to get cheap haircuts at the El Cortez. I don't know what they charge, but places with an old fashioned barber pole are usually pretty cheap.
Unfortunately, I just got a haircut last week, so won't need one at the time.
I'll personally pay for anyone to get a Mohawk.

I just got a haircut yesterday, and there's absolutely no way in Hell someone is coming within five feet of me with a straight razor without me physically defending myself, so a shave is out of the question.

A straight razor shave by Ernesto at El Cortez is a great thing. Very relaxing/refreshing.

I'm sure Ernesto is a nice guy, but if I won't even let my wife approach me with a straight razor (or use one myself) I'm not letting Ernesto do it.
I have a tendency to prefer disposable razors, preferably used by my wife a few times on her legs first so they are nice and dull. I'm not really the world's biggest fan of sharp objects.

Damn, have not had a barber shave for 30 plus years. Was in Chicago, hot towel and all.
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

Is Ernesto open late?
I can't do the Mohawk. I need a hair cut. But' I need my hair. The change is too extreme.
Nice pictures. I looked more ginger though. Freckles across the nose. Bad choice of shirt on my part. The picture made me laugh. It was a good 10 seconds.

I've never had a barber give me a straight razor shave, but I've heard so many guys rave about it. A lot of them say how "relaxing" it is.
What exactly is so relaxing about it anyway? Genuinely curious. May have to give it a try.
Fighting BS one post at a time!

I have had it done twice and I don't understand the attraction either. I also can't understand why my wife enjoy's pedicures.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.
