So... Kevin, Jen, and I were in Border's last night. One of the guys that worked there had what appeared to be a 1/8" buzz, which was done very badly. You don't have to be intentionally looking at how good or bad someone's haircut is to spot how poorly this looked. It was really fucking bad. He had a lot of small tufts of missed hair all the fuck over, especially in the back. From a distance I actually gave him the benefit of doubt or some shit and thought "maybe it's just birthmarks or something on his skin under the hair. I got closer. Nope. It was clearly and blatantly obviously a shitty haircut.

...

Okay...

Now, let's think for a moment: What the FUCK is wrong with you?! If you're going to cut your own hair, regardless of style and length, PUT FORTH SOME FUCKING EFFORT!! Make it look like you give a shit how it turns out. I've had a lot of practice so I have full grounds to judge how good or bad someone else did and this guy obviously spent no more than 2 minutes on it. It takes about 10 minutes to do a finished job on it even if you're bald like me. Have a fuckin mirror in your hand so you can use that and the bathroom mirror to see the back. Inspect it. Then feel it, because missed hair is even more noticeable to the hands than the eyes.

There's just no excuse... a close buzzcut is the easiest haircut in the world. You don't need any haircutting skills beyond the bare minimum to pull it off well. Shave it off roughly first, smooth it out by going over it again, then outline it if necessary. I don't typically need to spend too much time outlining mine since I cut it so close. If you can't even do that right, who the fuck do you think you are to sell books?
