I can’t stand barbers, so I normally cut my own hair. Usually I think I do a pretty good job, but I did a bit of a howler on Sunday.
I put the wrong attachment on the clipper. It was late at night; I did it really absent-mindedly because it’s usually such a routine. Of course, once you start you have to finish.
Quite a lot of hair came off — just in time for the wintry weather to truly come in. Brr! I’m going to have to take a hat everywhere with me now.
My hair hasn’t been this short for around three years, and truth be told it looks a bit silly. It is also really annoying because I was cultivating a good beard, but it looks ridiculous to have a beard that’s longer than your hair, especially if your beard is darker than your head hair.
What’s the moral of the story? Double-check the attachment? Make sure you don’t do it late at night? Just go to the damn barbers in future?

It’s not so bad. Guess the beard had to go too, huh?

I use clippers and cut it close to the skull all round – a wonderful effect which frightens off potential marauders.

It is not ridiculous to have a beard longer than your hair – didn’t do ZZ Top any harm…
