I went ahead & shaved it all.... I feel really wierd now.

Please forgive the fact that I'm not wearing a shirt, I didn't want hair everywhere.

After the clippers but before the razor:

Ok, give me honest opinions. Do I look like an idiot? Do I look damned sexy? Do I look like a Nazi?

I'm in a strange place right now.... I've had long hair since I was a kid. I was often known as "the long haired guy" so this is wierd for me.

I did find out that my showers take one third the time now[:D]

Somebody alert ILL & TRG.....

Cutting off your hair is no biggie.  I went bald once, and would have kept it that way, but the bride hated it.

Posting your pic is another story.....  You're gonna end up in photoshop hell.

I'm well aware of the Photoshop hell thing.

Of course... I DO use Photoshop for a living, I assure you I am quite capable of returning the favor[}:D]

And less flammable.

You'll probably find that you still have long hair in your dreams, and you'll probably still flip your head back after swimming under water. It'll be strange for a while. Short hair is way easier to deal with, and no hair is the lowest maintenance of all. Enjoy.

I used to have long hair.  I cut it after it kept getting caught in my car door and other inconveniences.  

I hate going to the barber/stylist because I end up paying $20 for a haircut that makes me look worse than when I came in.  So I bought clippers and just buzz my head like how you look in photo #2, and let it grow until it starts looking bad again.  Doesn't look good, but at least I didn't pay $20 for the privilege.

You should have stopped pre razor.  IMHO the second pic looks the most respectable/professional.  Of course that might not be what you're going for.

I've actually been toying with the idea lately.  I've had my hair long for the past 8 years.  It can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.  My girlfriend likes that I have it long, and says she wouldn't care if I decided to cut it all off, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  I mean, I'll probably go bald someday ... guess I'm just trying to hold out as long as I can.

I used to have long hair, very long hair.

I remember when I shaved off my long hair 10 years ago.

Took me a couple of weeks to get used to it, I cant go back now, whenever my hair gets longer than about an inch I have to pull out the clippers.

I still might keep it short, not shaved, shouldn't take more than a week or two to grow it out that long.

I do have to deal with clients so professional is a good thing.

Thats what I did, the baldness was just showing too much... It was getting obvious. I just decided, [b]to hell with it![/b] and just cut it off, I may let it grow back a bit & just keep it short, I just wanted to catalog my options.

Sumo...  Did you shitcan the hair yet?  There are organizations that will make your hair into a wig for cancer patients.  Call your Dr, or local hospital.  They'd be damn glad to have it.

I agree with growing some back like the second picture, too.  The last one looks too much like Paul Shaffer (spelling?) from Letterman.

No offense, but you look better in either of the two cut photos.  I would say either of those should work.  If you are single, I would see which gets the most attention from women.  And ask some women you know.  If you aren't single, ask the woman you are with.  You made a good choice cutting it off.

I do the same thing whenever I'm tired of my hair. I haven't had someone else cut my hair since I was in the army.

From a female standpoint I say #3 is better.  The fuzzy thing looks a little funny with the facial hair.

Number 3 looks O.K.

I would have gone with number 2, and added a high and tight look.

For your body type the long hair looked more appropriate. Shaved head only looks right if your really lean or really buff.

Motherfucker! You dickhead!

After looking at this post about an hour ago I figured it was about time that I trimmed my hair. It was getting a little ragged. I always cut my own with a trimmer set that has several attachments. This time I was rushing to get done and the attachment fell off and the trimmer cut a motherfucking baldspot on my maiter. Now I have a 1/8 inch fucked up haircut.

It must be your fault because, because, because, aw hell it's my own fault. Who am I kidding? I fucked up and now I have to live with it.

When I was a youngster I wore my hair as long as I could get away with because my friends thought it was cool.

When I enlisted I discovered the joy of (low maintenance) short hair.

When I got out the little woman made me grow it long again. Not real long, just longer than mil-spec.

Ain't got no little woman no more so my hair is back to mil-spec and I couldn't be happier (about the hair, I really miss her).

It's easy to care for, I like the way it looks, and now that I've assumed the shape of a pear it's the only HSLD thing left on me!

If you stay with the 0" cut watch out on sunny days. You'd be surprised how fast heat stroke can happen.

I've thought about that, but even if I let it grow out a bit, there isn't enough hair to effectivly protect my head[:(]

I guess I need to invest in hats.

Who cares if hair is long or short or partly grey, we know that hair ain't where it's at, there will come a time when you won't even be ashamed if you are fat. Wa wa wa waaaaa! What's the ugliest part of your body? What's the ugliest part of your body? Some say your toes, some say your nose, but I think it's your mind,your mind, your mind, woo, woo, woo.

Either one two or three look much better than the before.  Long hair is cool also if you have someone standing behind you to pull it out of yours eyes while you are shooting in the wind!

And not to forget you ever see two woman fighting,well let me tell you men will use hair also to get an advantage!

You will get used to it and will find it very comfortable,and will have to fight the gals off of you once it grows to that gentile rubbing stage!   Plus at that stage its like Velcro put a stocking hat on it and it would take a #5 Tornado to knock it off !
