Well after a long run I was able to talk the wife in letting me to get my hair cut. Not only that, she also let me take out half the jewelry that was stuck in my face. I did leave one set of earrings that she asked to leave in. And while I was at it, I’d thought I’d shave as well. Boy do I feel better, whoo.

I did the haircut and shaved off my beard a few months ago. Finally realized how fat I was , so I am growing the beard and hair back now. I had to call the cops after seeing this strange looking person in my bath room mirror. Then I realized it was me. Nuff said

So you actually talked your wife, into letting you cut your hair and get a shave. You must be a very persuasive man Joe. That must have been hard work.
Did you sweet talk her, into finaly letting you do it, or was it the kid way "Can I cut my hair, can I cut my hair, can I cut my hair................"
Looking sharp Joe.

Nice one Joe - makes a hell of a difference mate!
I did the same a few years ago - kinda like shorter hair now - keep growing the beard back though - the wife prefers it and I'm too darned lazy to shave in the morning. At one time, when I had one of those horrible full-face lids, all you could see was 360 degree hair!
Got two tats - one new - and quite happy to keep them. One is a bikers tattoo and the others is a native American shield design. If you are ever in England and want a tattoo then the main guy is Danny Fuller - his designs are used all over the country and he works in my local town.
