I Closed my eyes and..
First off all, I went to the best of my
normal barbers today Don Pope, In New Albany, IN. I only go to him for one
reason he works very slow haircuts take generally 25 to 35 minutes each. (Very
Good);).
Over the past few months I have been making vague joking comments about
the lengths of hair he chooses to leave on his preceeding customers. For example
there was a 35 - 40 year old gentleman, who I believe runs a camera shop, had a
very large mass of very straight greyish blonde hair on his head, combed to
appear medium length but really more like 8 - 10 inch strands piled on top.
While reading the paper I overheard that he was going to his Marine class
reunion but Don left his hair in the same mass of hair but only 4-6 in long.
When it was my turn in the chair I jokingly commented to Don that if I were him,
after hearing that tid bit of informtaion I would have made him look more like a
marine, and cut his hair under an inch or two. After these joking comments on
three out of eight trips to his shop he accuse me of having a hatered of hair. I
denied the accusation because I was only making the observations because I
believe he may be a hair fetishist. On several other trips I have tried to no
avail to convince him to retake up the almost lost art of straight razor
shaving, which around the ears he does very well. During one of these attempts I
offhandedly mentioned that I wished to learn to shave with a straight razor, and
to one day shave my head.
Well when I entered his shop today it was raining, and there were seven
other men waiting. After waiting for almost three hours when it was my turn in
the chair, I instructed him that I wanted a high and tight and if he had changed
his no shaving policy I would like one. He ignored my second comment and began
cutting he stopped to ask about the length in front and I said that he could go
a tiny bit shorter under the then one half inch. Well with that said I closed my
eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the clippers against my skin. My eyes remained
closed until the cape was removed. I payed him and started to leave when I
noticed that I WAS TOTALLY BALD!!!! All hair was gone with the exception of
sixteenth inch stubble. This sight both excited me and sickened me, excited me
because I had wanted to go this short for years but didn't have the guts and
sickened me because of the shock of the suddenness of it all and his complete
disregard for the obvious next step of hot lather and straight razor. So i left
partially exstatic and partially pissed off. I within twenty minutes of staring
into my car's rearview mirror liked it, but the newest problem is that because
of college I live with my parents whom hate the idea of shaven heads. So do I
lie, or just take the insults and possible eviction from the house. But all
turned out ok in that area my new problem is that I now like this look and want
to complete it, what do I do?????
The End
