Shaved Heaad and Horseshoe Mustache. by Glenn

---

The shop opens at 8 but, a couple of regulars are let in a bit earlier. One guy was in the chair getting his hair shaved as I pulled into the parking lot. I arrived fairly early ,way before the eight o'clock opening, and guys were going into the shop. I was waiting for my friend Jamie who told me about this shop, to show up as I was going with him for a cut. We had talked a number of time about going together to get our haircuts. We had arranged today to do just that. It had been over 3 weeks since my last cut. I usually get a one and an half all over but today I had been thinking about shaving it all off. Why was I afraid to do that. I don't know. I had shaved my head many times before and look quite nice bald. But, still I was nervous. While waiting. I was contemplating what to do with my to my goatee I thought about going for a clean shaven look , bald head and no facial hair.and then again , maybe just keep the mustache. Neither of those seemed right. I do like shaving my goatee off every once in a while just for a change, but I didn't feel like to day was the day to do that. Well, it was finally my turn and I stepped up to the chair and said hello to Tony the barber. He was very friendly and said thanks for coming in today. I quickly sat down and he draped the cloth around me and put on a neck strip before tightening the cape. Then he did what all barbers do when a new client sits in their chair "What are we doing today??" "Shave my head smooth, as close as you can get it. And shave the middle of my goatee off so just the mustache is still there. I want a horseshoe mustache." "OK" Soon enough I was handed a mirror to check out the new look. He said, "Is that what you wanted?" as I looked in the mirror. He had nailed the horseshoe mustache exactly and with the totally smooth head it looked great. I paid and sat down in the waiting area to wait on my friend to get his hair and beard straightened up. I wonder what he will get.
