1959 my dad would give me 25 cents and I would walk across the street in town and then go to the pool hall and play for free because I racked for the guys. My wife of 52 years has been cutting mine for free. (I think LOL )
I spent all the money I saved on haircuts on Mopar project cars! I am flat broke, but atleast I have 24 Mopar projects I will never finish! LolYa must be a millionaire
I've always found hat the old-dude barbers provide the best haircuts. There is a guy named Floyd that cuts my hair every six weeks or so. He is 77, and has a long gray beard and ponytail. Last time I went in, though, he absolutely looked like Death. Moving much slower than normal, and very pekid and pale, too. He apologized for not feeling well, and he went on home. The gal that cut my hair did a real good job, though. I kinda have a feeling she's gonna be my next barber. Floyd looked pretty rough.
Yup. This Floyd is about six foot and maybe 235#. Big Choctaw guy.Floyd the barber, I think I heard that somewhere before! Wasn't he the guy from Mayberry who used to take Aunt Bea out behind the woodshed!
Back in 2015 before I retired they were getting $12. Probably about 15 now, who knows?I wonder what a military barber charges on base these days?
Been cutting my hair for over 30 years, bought the cutter from Sears. Get it down to 1/2” to 1/8 on neck over ears. What I can’t see in the mirror I don’t care about. About 2 months or when the wind starts messing it up from the truck side glass and a month for the scraggly beard I have. Once ya get 73 who gives a rats butt.Yeah, I'm learning how to cut my own hair now. Been just doing some trimming but today I did some major cutting lol. It ain't no worse than the last hair cut I got and had to pay for it. Should have told her she needed to pay me for that mess! And she was the freaking manager of the joint....
Right! I still have a full head of hair and have no idea how that happened. The left and right 'points' of my forehead have receded some but not like my dad's did when he was 71. My mom's side of the family is all girls and there was a couple in there that actually went bald. My mom had beautiful (imo) long dark hair but don't know if it would have fallen out in her older age since she left the earth at 38. Anyways, when my hair gets to be in my face too much is when I can't stand it so I went at it with a scissors yesterday and after thinking it was going to look like crap once done, it actually looks pretty decent. Probably should have taken a pic before and after. Oh well. The hair at the back is 4" long and I'm ok with that but the top front isn't quite 2" and I'm ok with that too. I'm not that big of a fan of the mullet but by the time it gets cold again, it'll most likely be closer to one than not. Probably will go in for a haircut in the spring to at least straighten up things but we'll see what it looks like by then. I still kinda care about it since I'm the one that has to look in the mirror every morning lolBeen cutting my hair for over 30 years, bought the cutter from Sears.

Mine, what’s left of it grows slooow. Guy next door has a pony tail and I thought what the heck six months later an it’s maybe 1-1/2” so off that went. Moms side of the men, all were bald by 50, dad at 94 still has more than me, thin on top (baby hair) sides ok. Used to have very thick hair now I brush with a wash rag.Right!

Yeah, my dad was sorta like that too. Couldn't wait to move away from home lolBack when I was around 16, a new haircutting product came out, a razor blade with forks on it my dad thought he’d try to save on haircuts. He used it ONCE on me and that was it after flipping it wrong giving me a buzzed out spot on top of my head. He didn’t understand my being pissed saying it’ll grow back. Yeah pop? My new date Friday night is just gonna luv it..

Well, most of the women on my mom's side of the family went bald......but so far, at 71, I have a full head of hair.If you didn't know, baldness come from your Mother's side of the family. And yes, women can go bald too!
I had to tie it back because I wouldn't have been able to walk between your Plymouth and the next car in the survivor tent without taking your original paint down to bare metal! I don't do man buns, man purses or rainbow shirts,my gate doesn't swing that way! That comb over of yours ain't making the cut anymore!Word has it that you had that bird's nest tied up in a man-bun at Carlisle along with sporting a man purse & rainbow shirt.
