    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Today it was my Hückel petting hat for a big step…getting all my hair cut off. Etsuko’s not so sure about the new look, but I’m surprisingly happy with it.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Sunday. Akubra Stylemaster for some grocery shopping. Temperatures back up to shorts & T-shirt levels…in November! It cooled down in the evening. We enjoyed some snapper on the barbecue. I wore my regular barbecue hat - the Akubra Cattleman. Yesterday it was the same Akubra for more...

    Saturday. Day two in Osaka. Same hats as Friday. The sushi was from Friday.

    Well, I’ve gone ahead and done it. The place I got it done doesn't shave heads, so I got their shortest buzz cut (0.8mm). It didn’t feel as weird as I thought it would. I’m quite happy with it, but now I need to make a decision as to whether to continue with buzz cuts or to shave. If I go...

    The change to a single blade double edged safety razor had me a bit nervous at first, but it’s a pleasure to use and causes less skin irritation than either cartridge types or electric.

    Yeah, I’ve been using that for about 3 years now. I’ve used electric and cartridge shavers, but this is just a far nicer experience. Still a bit scary going to a full head shave with it. I do have an alum block and hemostatic pencil to deal with cuts.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I was also considering a buzz cut. Watching some videos on YouTube, I got the feeling that going from a head of (albeit thinning) hair, to buzz cut, to shaved, is a bit like going from no hats, to stingy brims, to wider brims. But I was also left with the...

    Welcome to the lounge. Good to see another Japan resident here. Where are you? I’m in Wakayama. Also nice to see a fan of my home country of New Zealand.

    Some questions for all you baldies out there. The situation on my pate has had me considering joining your ranks for some time now. Will I need to purchase a bunch of hat spacers? Did it affect your hat size? My hair is quite fine anyway so I’m guessing it won’t make a huge difference. What...

    Couldn’t convince her. I’ll have to pass on this one.

    I just did a quick measurement. I think you’re right. I usually wear 59, but Borsalinos do seem to run small. It would fit Etsuko. I‘ll see what she has to say tomorrow. I doubt she’ll be up for it, though.

    Needless to say, I’m very interested.

    How would that compare in size and quality to the Bismuto?

    There’s something about that Mossant that takes it for me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Yeah, the navy Homburg I’ve been wearing for the last couple of days will stay as it is, but I think the black one will get a pinch.

    Very nice. I think I’m going to give my black homburg a pinch. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
