Men only poll!

[zenwood]

My dad and his dad and his dad both had magnificent heads of hair till the day they died. By mum's dad was as bald as and egg...and I'm as bald as an egg! Sometimes I hate genetics! My wife's male relatives are all bald too, so my lads have got no hope.

I would chose a combination of:
hair loss - what have you done/will you do?
absolutely nothing, if I pretend it's not happening maybe no-one will notice.
I'll get my hair cut shorter to lessen the contrast between the hairy bits and the baldy bits
I don't give a rat's ring


I've been getting a number 2/number 1 for years, and it's great. I don't mind paying the barber if I don't have to sweep up. Tried one of the home clipper jobs but it was a pain setting the thing up, sweeping up etc. I get it done once a month or so, or when SWMBO starts saying I look like a toilet-brush (bludy swmbo!)

OK, here's how you give yourself a number 1:

1. Get your clipper and fix the number 1 comb (Zen, this is really easy mate)
2. Stand in front of the bathroom sink, bend down as if you are going to put your face in the bowl.
3. Clip away. Go over the back bits several times to make sure you don't miss any.
4. Turn on tap and flush your cares away.
5. Get in the shower and give your head and shoulders a good hosing down so that you don't get those annoying prickles in your shirt.

Best done before having your daily shower. Clothing not recommended, undies optional

See, it's easy and doesn't cost a cent!

This is one case where we don't need photos to prove that it happened.

Sorry Grunt, didn't mean to put you off your lunch, but it's an important point

I trim my beard in the shower cubicle before having a shower, much easier than the sink as you don't have to retrieve hair from behind taps etc.

Please warn me if this conversation is going to extend to other shower habits

SilentC, I have a an old landcruiser mirror hung up down at the shed for doing this, that way there is no mess in the bathroom to cause a row with SHMBO.
I give the neighbours a shock standing there with no shirt as they ride past. (I live next to a horse trail)

my old man has had a comb over for as long as I can remember, apperantly by the time they got married. He still does it. I have always sworn to my self I wouldnt do it.
luckilly I havent needed to worry, still have good crop.

Have you ever said anything to him about it?

HH.

regularly, my whole life.
It is always the source of great mirth by everyone else becasue whenever he is trying to do something it falls off the side and he curses and flips it back.
we crack up and he curses more. but always polite cursing, he is (was) a teacher/headmaster.
kept Brylcream in business single handed I think.

Grow it while you've got it........

Then when it falls out, shave it off.

Either way, it beats paying for haircuts.

They say look at your mothers brothers if you want to know how the hair line is going to look.

Panteen, Johnsons, Swarzkof or any other hair product company don't get any of my money, I've got the chrome dome thing happening doesn't worry me in the slightest, found an old passport the other day was over 15 years old had hair in the photo and SWMBO said if I looked like that when we met she would have give me the flick, now she wouldn't have me any other way.

Sorry mate, that doesn't work. All my uncles have full heads of hair except one and his only started to thin in the last 10 years or so. The only baldies in my immediate family are my Dad and one of his uncles.

I'VE BROKEN MY #2 COMB!

Don't know what I'm going to do now. #3 is far too long, my fluffy bits catch in the breeze and start to think for themselves a day or two after a #3, and I'd catch my death of cold with a #1!

It's sad to be me!


What can a poor boy do?

[silentC]

How could you catch your death of cold up in sunny QLD? I've been #1 for years down here and although I've had my share of colds, they're yet to kill me
