First, Merry Christmas eve greetings to everyone.
I need to hear from board readers on what I should do about my impending holiday vacation haircut.
My partner and myself have been together for eight years, and we met when I had a longer version 1950s-style flattop, which was maybe a guard three or four, and if my barber cut it a bit too short you can barely see the landing strip on top. See link below.
However, I decided to go to the more extreme (and enjoyable) shaved horseshoe flattop upon the urging of partner and also my barber who does many flattops in the Norfolk, Virginia area since there is many current and former military here, especially Navy men.
Back in 2020, when COVID caused barbershops to close or have very limited hours for haircuts, both suggested I go for the shaved horseshoe flattop as it would allow for longer period of time in between haircuts, providing I was not one who wanted by-weekly or weekly haircuts.
So, I got skinned down super tight that my military flattop-obsessed boyfriend insisted that I get back in 2020, which looks like this:

We have long taken Christmas/New Year's holiday vacation either during the week of the two holidays or starting a day or two into the new year. Our last winter vacation cruise trip was in February 2020, a month before the COVID pandemic kicked-in.
We have not had a vacation cruise or over-seas trip since 2020, but we are leaving on Saturday for a cruise to the Bahamas, then the Turks & Caicos Islands, and then San Juan, Puerto Rico, then back to Miami, Florida.
I am debating if I should get my usual razor shaved high and tight horseshoe landing strip flattop or a less severe skin fade or old 1950s-style flattop, which looked like this:

My partner loves to flaunt his beautiful long hair and put his fingers though is hair all around our apartment while we both look at and feel my fresh shaved horseshoe flattops, which I love.
After I leave the barbershop with my mandatory shaved horseshoe flattop, he loves to taunt me, and he just can't stop keep his hands and fingertips from feeling and rubbing my head and feeling my landing strip.
Additionally, during private time, I am a top, and my boyfriend loves aggressive penetration while admiring and rubbing my fresh shaved horseshoe landing strips. So he and my barber have kept me in a tight horseshoe flattop.
But we leave for this two-week holiday vacation trip and I am just not sure or maybe comfortable to wear a fresh tight haircut during this trip. How would people look towards me, especially when we take our second leg of vacation to Greece and Turkey? Would a shaved horseshoe flattop be too extreme when on these foreign trips?
I get my haircut early Saturday morning (December 28) just before leaving for Miami to take our destination Carribean cruise, so I got a couple days to check for comments here---hopefully a few helpful responses by some guys who have experience traveling with tight military haircuts, what reactions you got?
If it is a strong suggestion to go a bit longer with my vacation haircut on Saturday, I will do and it would confirm my gut-feelings, as much as by boyfriend would hate it, as he really wants me to get the shaved horseshoe flattop as he thinks it would add to the fun and enjoyment of our trip.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all!!

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.

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.
