In truth I'd been wanting to have my hair buzzed for years prior to this and had always been told it wouldn't work, but I held out hope that the naysayers were all wrong.



I'm more than happy with how I look with a buzzed haircut. Someday I'd like to try for a shorter cut with a #3 or #2 guard, but I'll probably never go all the way to the skin (not by choice, anyway).

My partner's done the job for me every time but once and it does save on money and the hassle of going somewhere else. I'm due for another buzz and look forward to returning to the summer streamlined look very soon.
