My father was a barber, and so for the early part of my life, every
haircut came from Dad, later known as Pop-Pop. He was a good barber,
and I never had to pay him.
I left home and went to the US Naval Academy where the Navy provided my barber for several years. I even cut hair a little myself, first at USNA, then onboard ship. Sometime along the way I recruited a terrific barber who is willing to make house calls, even here in Africa, and previously in Sweden.
One of our early purchases here was a set of barber clippers that run on 220v. I think we got them on sale for $2 or so. They aren't terrific, but they work, see:
For many years now Brenda has cut my hair, which is part of the reason, just part, why I am so handsome.
It is just a very small example of what a blessing Brenda is to me. She takes care of me in many ways, and she does it with a smile (mostly). As I said before, she is a Proverbs 31 woman.
And, she is... my favorite barber.

I can just see sweet Brenda lovingly wrapping that cape around you as a reminder of how messy haircuts use to be. :-) Proverbs 31 indeed.
