I have had a flattop for 95% of the time for 30 years. I get it cut every two weeks at least. I like to keep it high and tight so weekly cuts are not uncommon for me. I too get the desire to burr mine off often. I normally wear a #1 HnT burr cut on and off during the Summer. It saves me a lot of money because the burr cut I do myself at home. Sometimes I take it down to a .05 on top also. I say, have fun with it. Change is fun and everyone that knows me doesn't even mention it anymore. They are so use to me changing it up. You don't have to commit to having it shaved all the time. Grow the flat back out when you feel like it.

Why do I have an overwhelming desire to shave my head when I know that I will not be happy with it after a couple of months? The last time I shaved my head was in January of 2023 and I was hell bound on keeping it that way for one year before deciding to keep it shaved or revert back to the flat. After two months I decided that I didn't look good with the chromedome and went back to my trademark flattop. I got my first flattop in 1986 and it took around 15 years of going back and forth before committing to it. I think the first time I shaved my head was 2005. Perhaps if I decide to shave it again for the 7th, 8th or I don't remember how many times, I'll keep it? Besides, last week when I got my flat tuned up, my barber had a notice that the cost of a haircut would be $5.00 more beginning September 1st...that alone would save around $500.00 a year based on getting my flat tuned up every 3 weeks.....Does anyone else share in my dilemma? Sorry for the long drawn out rant.

BuzzLife Rules:
This board is designed to be a destination to discuss male haircuts, from buzzcuts, flattops, bald, and more!
By using this, you accept all liability for your posts and their contents. BuzzLife administration and Boardhost accept no liability whatsoever by posts, ideas, opinions, links to external sources, videos, to name a few among the vast amount of content that could be contained in said posts. Therefore, you post it, whatever it may be, you’re responsible for it. Enough said.
Photos, videos, and other content posted should involve men who appear to be of age. Any link/poster that sends images, videos, etc. of those who appear to be below acceptable age will be removed. This results in an instant ban for life
This is designed for male haircutting, and males should be the subject of the haircut. Females should not be the subject of the haircut in posts, photos, and discussions, however, females are free to join and discuss our common interests.
No sexual posts allowed. No political posts allowed.
In terms of common sense, do not post replies to such videos or photos saying things like “sexy handsome man without hair” or “better ####ing shave it next time” or any other suggestive or inappropriate comments. This only does many things. It makes the user remove the video due to being “creeped out” by said comments, look to see where the user found their video (and can see terms searched, such as headshaving, male haircut, and even links from this board). It only brings out a negative view of our community and makes us more noticeable, rather than keeping it quiet. Keeping it quiet is best, it allows us to continue sharing content without people starting to think “will I get creepy people send me stuff”. To sum it up, don’t be a creep on other people’s videos. Saying you look good such as “nice haircut” is acceptable; saying “you look sexy handsome with that new haircut :-*” is unacceptable. I cannot control what you post on other websites, but please keep your true comments to yourself, or as we often see, “This video has been removed by the user” will pop up. Please use proper judgment to keep the videos posted public for all to see and enjoy.
In addition, please try to do your best to provide reference to what content is being presented. The internet is wide, I understand that. But if you are going to post a YouTube link, write a quick thing next to the link (moptop shorn) or reference where you got an image from (i.e., post a link and the image) so we can see it easier if there is problem. Only goes to help us out more!
Be civil on the board. We’re all grown mature (hopefully) men. Let’s keep it mature and civil on here.
Be smart about what you post! If you use proper judgment, it will generally be fine. Just consider these rules before posting.
Any problems and questions, e-mail me at buzzlifeboard@gmail.com
I tried to make these rules fair and understanding. They are only here to make the best for the continuation of our community. Any comments or problems or suggestions, please message me or post here.
