Agreed, except if I’m the one doing the buzzing. About six months ago my hair was too long, so I did the, “Oh my hair’s too long–lemme grab the electric razor and chop everything with a #3 guard!” Which I did. Took off the guard at the end to even up the back of my head (all by feel, natch) and called it good…without looking.
Went to my favorite diner later that day and within five minutes of sitting down, my friend D gets a look of shock on her face and she asks me, “What happened to your hair? Wait. What happened to the back of your head?!? OMG, you’ve gotta get that fixed.”
As she is in beauty school (as well as being wicked smaht), I took her advice immediately and have been going to a barber ever since… And really, the best part of that day was D touching my head to ‘point out’ where my skillz had gone awry.
I do little actual grooming other than brushing my teeth and running a comb through my hair when necessary, but one of the most delightful things in the world is a hot-lather, straight razor shave.
My cousin has that same problem. We were watching a Pats game a few years back and as the cameras focused on Tom Brady, he ran his fingers slowly through his hair. I heard my cousin say, quietly and with a rarely-shown reverence, “My God would you just look at that.”
