a question for my male short-haired friends

When you guys go to get your hair cut, do they cut it wet or dry

I've had it both ways as well... it's also to do with price, I think.

But, seriously, $15 for a cheap set of clippers and a steady hand will save you much bank ;p (The back of the neck is a bitch, though...)

If I bought clippers, it would be far, far too easy to just shave my head...

So yeah. I might do that. ;)

Look for the Wahl home haircutting kit (possibly still made in USA?, around $25-30?) at Bartells. The clippers that they sell at Rite Aid are inferior (as of my last shopping experience).

I get it cut wet these days (at Supercuts where it is optional) but that is because when I go in my hair is long and bushy, and it's a lot easier to manage. When I was younger, my hair was shorter and straighter when I went in and barbers would cut it dry. The back of my neck is always shaved.

I shave mostly with an electric razor, but then and when I have used a blade razor, I have learnt that a recipe for razor burn is to wash ones face before you shave, so I guess a suggestion would be to not get ones hair cut when one is squeaky clean.

Okay! :D I'll do that when I get back to the hill this evening. Probably after 7.

It does feel kind of weird to be scheduling a random drop-in... oh, excessive busy-ness.

I like getting my hair cut wet, just 'cause the scalp massage is really nice. They usually take the razor to it first though just to get the bulk down. Razors also don't operate as well on wet hair I'm told.

...but if you decide not to get clippers and really want your hair cut wet and done right, I recommend Paula at Classical Cuts, on Cherry between 1st and 2nd, 206-621-7533.
