Is this the beginning of the end?

Awkward Badger

Got my hair cut at a barbers recently and as she was tidying up around my ears she did something I've never experienced before. She stuck the shaver into my ear and trimmed my ear hair. And it shook me to my very core. Is this the second "hair in strange places" phase? Is it all downhill from here?

When I lived in Prague I had an American barber. He always finished off with the ear hairs. He lit what looked like an over-sized cotton bud after placing some alcohol on it and then flashed it by the ear. It worked but was pretty unnerving the first time he did it.

I thought you were going to say she stuck her tongue in your ear.

Yes.

Nose hair too, but I suppose those are easier to spot.

I had a barber suggest they do my eyebrows. Wh?? I said go ahead they're the expert after all. But now I find I check my eyebrows in the mirror, and worse, I've found a few stray hairs that needed cutting back.

I've had the "Will I do the eyebrows? " question asked at the end of a haircut. Was a bit taken aback the first time.

I don't go to that barber anymore, but I actually miss the old eyebrow trim now!

Was asked once if I did my eyebrows but it was in a salon and I didn't know if it was a thing men generally did. What do they do just shave off the stragglers ?

Stragglers I think. Supposedly its something we should be doing according to my better half, she seemed horrified that I was dismissing the practice.

Was a regular customer of a turkish barber a few years ago. First time l encountered the flaming torch for the ear hairs and trimming of the eyebrows. Bit of a shock alright the first time. Saw a fellow getting his eyebows threaded there once. They'd give you a neck and shoulder massage with an electric gadget too. The irish barbers are upping their game a bit since.
I'm developing the hairy ears now too. My father would get the mother to trim his an odd sunday morning before mass. Was comical to witness.

Dead on. The place made the national headlines a few years ago when a woman was found dead in a flat upstairs. Had been stabbed to death. I think she was going out with one of the staff. The thought of a cutthroat being used to trim my hair gave me the collywobbles after that. Gave up going there.

I woke up one morning last yr with an inch long hair growing from my eyebrow.
It was not there the night before!!!

I'm not saying anyone else should do this but it works very well if you're careful.
