Got the beard trimmed today at Great Clips -- $10 for the trim, $10 for the tip, which always makes the cutter happy.
Why, oh why, can't I get used to looking down on the black tarp they wrap you in and seeing nothing but blindingly white whiskers?

Sometimes I wonder the same thing when I am sitting in the stylist's chair.

My stylist gets annoyed when I don't take care of my brows between cuts. I do keep up with the ear hair, though. And all of it white, silver or gray (with an occasional black hair in there).

Gee, I remember when men went to barbers and a healthy dose of Clubman on the finished cut was as close as a person came to style. Barbers were named Carl, Joe, and Harry, not Heather, Tyrell, and Mindy.

The barber who scalped me for the first 12 years of my life was named Jimmy. He was one of five barbers in Charles Battaglia's shop, on the commercial avenue in our neighborhood. Horseshoe haircut, pencil mustache, Doublemint gum, short-sleeved white tunic that buttoned up the left shoulder, brown suit trousers with cuffs and a razor-sharp crease, brown wingtip shoes, gold pinkie ring. Every visit, he'd say, "How ya doin', kid?" I don't think he ever knew my name.

I used to have Great Clips trim my beard. The young ladies are pros but they can't read my mind. They would trim one part less than I wanted, another part more. Now I trim my own beard.
(During the pandemic I bought clippers and cut my son's hair and my own, so I basically know how to use clippers.)

While recovering, I grew a full beard. It wasn’t so much because I wanted a full beard as much as I had no desire to try and shave. It needs trimming now but standing at the mirror is still less fun than it sounds, so it’ll have to wait.
I look a bit like Grizzly Adams but that’s ok. I will trim it down to a more manageable level at some point.

I had surgery on March 15 and this one has been growing since then. I can’t recall when I last had a full beard. Years ago! At some point I will probably go back to the goatee or van dyke or whatever it is called. I have to work my way into that. |

I trim my beard with a dog clipper. It works just fine, but everytime I use it I get a craving for Alpo.
Hiyo!
