For the last few years I have been that way with my hair Jan. I've been balding on the top and started getting a haircut about every 6mos. I'd get it cut with a #1 or a #2 clipper and then when it got so that it was standing up in the back, I'd get it buzzed again. Losing hair on top, it lost the weight of hair to keep the "cowlick" down. For about a year now I have been shaving it. I started out every two or three days, now I shave it about every five days or if I am going somewhere.
I grew a mustache in Nov. but I didn't realize it was a "month thing" until it was half grown, then I let it grow, it started out as a "too lazy to shave thing". I keep a small split beard. I let it grow on the sides f my chin and keep it short but thick, it covers the little jowl dimples and IMO, looks good.
I think maybe we went to different schools together!
