I just get out the potato peeler every couple weeks or so. And I’ve got hundreds of moneys, and I can work the shift key and punctuation—on an iPad. ---

I went for 15 years (1965-1980) without stepping foot in a barber shop. I just kept my hair kinda fluffy, and cut off whatever stuck out. Then, in 1980, I got a “#2 all over” cut, and that’s what I still get, every 5-6 weeks or so. Sometimes I get a #1.5, and once I even got a #1. It feels just like suede. ---

Sounds like the **CEOofPolar** ’s barber is giving him a regular Teddy cut. I used to do them. Regularly. With my Teddy. Sit him in front of a mirror and make scissor noises behind his head. He used to pay good money for it too. Only I think it was buttons. ---

[QUOTE=Alessan] My system is to wait until my wife tells me I really need a haircut, and then put it off for another month or so. That means about 3 or 4 haircuts per year, give or take. It seems to work. ! [/QUOTE] > [@Ulf\_the\_Unwashed](#): > > Wow! That’s my system too! Can I say on behalf of wives everywhere, that I hate you two? You both have NO IDEA how ridiculous you look. Uneven, overgrown hair usually looks the least bad in front, and that is what you see. You have no idea how bad it looks, in profile and on the back of your head, where you can’'t see yourself. Get a haircut every six weeks, every two months if you can’t be bothered. ---

Uneven, overgrown hair usually looks the least bad in front, and that is what you see. You have no idea how bad it looks, in profile and on the back of your head, where you can’'t see yourself. It’s all just an opinion, anyway. “Bad” and “ridiculous” aren’t objective standards. > [@](#): > > Get a haircut every six weeks, every two months if you can’t be bothered. I use the same system, but I wait another four to six months. I don’t get my hair cut until my hair gets long enough to tie into a pony tail. ---
