Dilemma Decided

So, I went for the trim - kind of.

As you can see, the trim was done with all of the attachments removed which resulted in a uniform hair length that can now me measured in angstroms. My head is freezing. I need a tea cosy. Every time I have done this in the past, I have followed up this step with a razor, paste wax, and a polishing rag. Every time I have caught a cold.

I was hoping that the weather would get warmer before this step had to be taken but this morning in my miasma, I looked down to see ever increasing signs of shedding - and it wasn't the color of the dog. So, as I have done in the past when I felt at odds with the world, I took a dramatic step in the area of personal folicular management. It is after all, a renewable resource.

I haven't decided if I will resort to shaving the pate. It requires a bit of a commitment and I always nick the tip of the rather largish bump on the back of my skull just above the jade pillow spot. I suppose that those who shave their heads on a regular basis have electric razors that do this, but I am old fashioned in this respect and would have to make do with a regular old blade razor. I had it done once in a barber shop with a straight razor and I must say, that gave me a bit of a pause.

Anyway, I wanted to drop a line and let you know that I am still here - with a cold head.
