1984 so I would have been 11 at the time. Had pretty long hair for a kid, my ball cap made wings on the sides, in my eyes and long in the back too. My friends was long too but not as long. His dad told us before we went to bed, haircuts tomorrow boys and that was it. In morning we put our uniforms on, went to the barber shop. My friends dad went first and just got a regular haircut. Then my friend sat in the chair and his dad said, just buzz it. That’s exactly what he got probably an #2 all around. Done in just a few minutes. I went next no questions asked, the barber just buzzed it the same way. First time buzz for me too. In the car his dad said you didn’t have to get a buzz. Great.
Second notable, I got 2 letters mid semester that I may fail Spanish and algebra. Parents said long hair must go. Dropped me off at the barbershop, I went in while my dad waited outside. The instructions were to come out with a short haircut and if it was wasn’t short enough it would be a buzzcut. I saw no winning this so I went in sat in the chair and said dad said to get a short haircut. Barber said ok how short. I said just buzz it. He wasted no time and I was back in the car freshly shorn with probably an 4 on top and 2 on the sides within 10 minutes. Dad looked shocked and said you don’t #### around. Did I like it, at the time no. Did it help me pass those 2 classes? No but from then on I was able to grow my hair as long as I wanted.

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.
