Re: What does getting a flattop feel like? 
Edited by buzzheadnj on June 30, 2025, 11:56 am
I remember getting my first flattop. It took a long time to build up the courage to get one. I had a basic tapered haircut and really want to go short. I would always chicken out. But one day, I went to my regular barber and he was finishing a flattop on a customer. So when it was my turn, I said 'a flattop like the guy before'. Made it so much easier. He gave me a traditional flattop. He used a wax in the form of a stick and brushed my hair into place. I was looking forward to the moment when the barber would level out the top with a comb and shear off the hair with the clippers to level it out. But no such luck. He blocked my view of the mirror. When was done he asked if I wanted to go shorter. He knew it was my first flat top because I was a regular. I told him I liked how he cut it and said maybe next time. After that I did go shorter and tried different barbers. A horseshoe flat was always a tough ask. It just isn't a typical cut I guess in my area. But I started asking the barber to just skin the sides, cut the top as short as he can and bevel the sides. I've had barbers do a real nice close landing strip. Beveled sides (corners) work better on me because of the way my hair grows -- it has a tendency to lean and not be fully upright. With one barber, I started to describe my flat and he just cut me off and said 'I know what you want....you want to look like a drill sergeant'. Good times!

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.
