After growing my beard out for maybe 5-6 years, trimming it myself and generally keeping it looking “reasonable” I thought I’d treat myself and go get it trimmed by a “professional” first thing before a day full of webex meetings.

Now admittedly it was maybe a bit What year is it?, but it was well taken care of. Wee dude even commented on how it was one of the softest he’d cut.

Then he fucking trimmed it to fuck, into a big sorcerers point while I just sat there aghast. Absolutely scunnered.

    I have large moustache (think Nietzsche) and have nightmares about this exact scenario!

    If it’s any consolation, I saw the after picture and it looks great! Though I can imagine it’s probably a shock considering you were so used to the before.

      I actually considered just looping everything off but the tash but I shat out it! Gotta have a certain pinaché for a guid tash, and that I lack!

        If you decide you ever wanna get rid of the beard, that’s the time to rock the moustache! Having a large moustache is the only time I’ve ever gotten compliments from strangers, which is always nice though!
