You think so? I take it as a compliment, thanks buddy.

carebear said:I can say it now. If there's one part of your (great) look I thought could improve, it was your haircut. This suits you much better than the straight all round. :eusa_clap
I empathize because I wore mine much like your previous cut until I joined the Marines.
It isn't "vintage" but I use a cream pomade, lots of hold without looking too wet or clumpy. Let the hair dry and comb it in.

Jerekson said:This is basically the same cut I've had for the past few years. It's a version of the golden era cut, modified to work for me.
Here's an example of what a 99-cent can of petrolium jelly can do.
This is the look I was going for on the last page. I think I've got it done.
Again, basic 30's look that has been tweaked to fit me better. What do you think?
I can make it flatter, but I typcially look like a moron without at least a little volume.
This is the same thing (the jelly) after being a bit messed up in front. I have my hair cut to hang a certain way in the bangs (I'll explain this later) just one of the things I do that differs from the original 30's cut.
I like both ways.

I would gladly drive up to Seattle for the treatment on a recommendation! Let me know where this place is!neon_martini64 said:The 'old fashioned' men's barber shop is getting harder and harder to find. I was happy to have found one @ Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle. There's Art of partially naked women on the walls, stacks of Playboy magazines, and the talk ranged around similar subjects. Save maybe 'farming'. Definitely fishing though! $14 for the works. The original owner's health is not well, so his assistant is running it for him. I hope they survive.
In this world of mass-production, 'super-chop' strip-mall type of operations where gender is ambiguous at best, it's nice to have a men's grooming place where men can be men. Talking about man things and the PC police not around is a big plus. If only we could smoke cigars in there.

I cut my own. Occasionally, when it's grown to the point that it's somewhat unmanageable, I'll go to supercuts and tell them not to touch the top, just use a 1/4" attachment on the sides and blend it. That still gets expensive at $14, but if you only visit once every three months, that not so bad.
I dropped $35 on a Wahl clipper with all the attachments. I've got an extra mirror, so I uue that to see the back. I'll start very short around the ears and in the back, about a 1/4", and cut about 1 1/2" above the ears. I keep it that high all the way around, and slowly blend it in with progressively larger attachments. There's always a shelf this way, unless you're a magician with a comb and can blend it in properly...which you shouldn't anyway for a proper look. Let the top grow out as long as you want it.
