Going for a different haircut today.

Summer is almost here, so I'm going into town and seeing the barber. Been a couple months and I am in need of a hair cut, I think my best option is going for a flat top, both for comfort and suprise factor for my wife. Doing the whole deal, with a straight razor shave too.
Anybody else here rocking a flat top hair cut? Cool? Not cool anymore? Socially acceptable even?
Regardless there is nothing better than a barber cut shave and I am looking forward to it.
Fishtaco (yeah, with 3 weeks straight of rain I am pretty easily amused at this point)

I did the buzzcut thing back in the 90's for a few years. Last real haircut I had was July 4th, 2000 while I was in the Hospital. Just trims since then. Look like a long hair freaky people now.

Flat tops and buzz cuts give me visions of Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket:
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

Okay, the deed is done and I left a lot of hair on the barbers floor, it looks pretty good and interestingly my barber mentioned that I do have the right head shape to pull off a flat-top. LOL
The shave was good too and is closer than I can ever do at home, about the only negative is I got the full-on splash of stinking tonic on the back of my neck and the shave cream also has that funky barber shop smell so I am sure everyone at the store could smell me 10 feet away.
Not sure if I will stick with a flat-top, but I will see how it goes.

straights are the way to go... Been doing that for a couple of years now. You can do it at home...
