This is what I looked like about six months ago:

When I was a kid I liked the haircut that my older brother asked. He told me to tell my mom that I wanted a “bald” haircut, like a bald eagle. She caught on though.

Later, he was into rat-tails, so I decided to get one too.

Recently—to celebrate my autonomy from my brother—I decided to style my hair as different from his as I could (this makes sense). To put it another way, I have hair on my head. Hah! Oh, sweet revolution is in the air, sir!

Then I was a boy, but now I am a man and must have a man’s haircut. So I decided to grow my hair out.

My lips do not usually look like that. I mean, they do usually look large, but they don’t usually look like I’m prepping my lips to sneer at you. But maybe that’s what I’m thinking.

Pretty scraggly beard, no? Well, that’s why I’m shaving it off.

I’ve taken rough stabs at growing my hair long before, but always chickened out at the “Huh, it’s long, and looks different than I’m used to!” stage. That’s where I chicken out and grab the shears again. What makes this time different? Well, this time I don’t have to go outside and meet people for college or whatever.

So the other day I shaved my beard (the hair stays, for now).

I have no idea what this cut is.

I should will mention at this point that the most sexy I have ever looked was in the mens room of the Prague airport. I looked at myself in the mirror at 3am, while staying up in order to catch an early $20 flight to Paris, and thought to myself:

Whoah, who is that attractive man? Fuck heterosexuality, I would totally do myself right now.

And that was my sexiest moment.

These sideburns probably needed to be trimmed in the back too to make this really pop, but I use a single or double bladed analog razor. that makes it hard to get a clean edge in hard to reach places. I might slip and cut off, I don’t know, a jugular or something.

Mmm. That’s right, I’ve got something under my lip. It looks like it’s a little to far to my right (our left), but it isn’t. My lips are really prominent, and the recess under them is thus larger than you’d expect. My face is an optical illusion.

That is a picture of me a few minutes ago, after waking up at 6am.

So… what’s next? Grow more hair. For a while at least.

So I guess now that I’ve made post, I have reference material next time I shave. And maybe my readers can use this as a guide, and send in tips for others.

Maybe in a while I’ll have a series where I shave my chest, stomach or leg hair into patterns. I can’t wait!
