Never clean-shaven, never longer. Don't know how he did it. He always had a 3-day growth. Never clean-shaven, never longer. Don’t know how he did it.

He got a kick out of it.

I loved that stuff. My hair is very fine and that was the only thing that would sort of hold my hair in the popular styles. I graduated from flat top to long duck tails that was an Elvis look before Elvis. I have cut my hair progressively shorter as I aged. I wore it abot 2" for years then went to 1", 1/2", until I settled on 1/8" 2-3 years ago. I tried shaving my hair once but that is a major pain in the ass. Beats me how those who do it can stand the bother. That pink flat top stuff was Butch Wax. I loved that stuff.

I have cut my hair progressively shorter as I aged. I wore it abot 2″ for years then went to 1″, 1/2″, until I settled on 1/8″ 2-3 years ago. I tried shaving my hair once but that is a major pain in the ass. Beats me how those who do it can stand the bother.

I never understood it. It just doesn't look deliberate. The first time I saw it back in the 90s it was 2 New Yorkers that I assumed had had a big night and didn't have time to shave. The next day it was the same and I realized it was a very silly fashion statement. I have noticed some of the Hollywood wanabees sporting slick back mob style. The spikes have been around for a long time for rockers but now it seems fashionable to look like your hair hasn't been combed in a week or so. They pay big bucks for those hair cuts. I'll just keep clipping mine to a clean 1/8th inch about once a month. in New York and points NE for a good while. I never understood it. It just doesn’t look deliberate.
