Christy prefers the title, “How I Shaved His Thick Skull”. We took some photos during the cutting process, so might as well post them here. Unfortunately we didn’t have another camera person, so no action shots of Christy, even though she did most of the work.

All of the thumbnails can be clicked on if you really need a closer view. The last photo of my hair pre-shaving. It’s pretty much just straight out of the shower at this point, so a mess. I should be chopped off!

We start off with initial hacking via scissors.

Christy’s demonstration of what I would look like in a mohawk. Tempting to stop right here, but we tarried on.

Getting shorter… We started with the scissors and would later move to “buzzing” with the beard trimmer. I’m not the hairy beast (on my back and shoulders) that these pictures may indicate, that’s pretty much all cut hair.

Look, a shaved monkey! I actually kind of like it at this length. Something to look forward during the inevitable “put it back on!”

At this point we’ve switched to the beard trimmer. Christy was a little nervous about using it without the guard, so I did some testing to make sure it wouldn’t tear up my scalp too badly. The guard clogs after about one stroke so just wasn’t useful.

Stubble!

Some of my ex-hair.

With a little glue we can still fix it!

I jumped back in the shower, added some shaving oil and gel and then did the final shave by hand. Christy did most of the back, which is handy because there’s a few moles that way.

The final product a few days later, the same day shots are in the last post. No more helmet hair!
