Lookin' good, Jim.
I see the Allen tailpiece but can't make out the name on the mando. What pickup are you using?

A couple of weeks ago I trimmed down to a #1 on the sides and a 3 on the chin. Always a 0 on the head.
Did I tell you that I pay myself or cutting the hair. I was paying a barber 12$$ +tip..I cut my hair weekly and I pay myself 12$$ and I am a great tipper. Jim
When my barber went up to $10 I just started shaving what little I had left. Seemed like a rip-off for 5 minutes work. Took me about the same to shave it. So how much more money did he make raising his price? Well none from me. Been shaving ever since. And cheap blades work almost as good as the expensive ones. People should think twice about always wanting more money. Isn't it better to keep getting a little versus suddenly nothing? Of course now days others will continue spending anyway. They can. I won't.My hair cutter used to charge me $12 and I would give her a $3 tip. Then suddenly she raised her cutting price to $15. I don't tip her now.
The mandolin is a Click, #18. Butch Click, Rockford IN, is the builder. I visited him in 2009 and commissioned him to build this mando for me. I got everything I asked for and I even picked out the wood. I have had many want to buy this mando, but I have no reason to sell, it sure can do anything I try to play. That pickup is a LR Baggs Mando. It is a very good pickup but had too much stuff on the outside to keep up with. My brother now has the pickup. I installed a K&K double mini which I installed on the inside. No volume control, but I picked up a Taylor cable that has a volume control where it inserts into the mando. I usually play thru a mike.

I've been letting mine grow out and started using a beard balm which I'm really liking. I think I'm going to let it go a while and see how long it will go. Not DK Kevin long, but a couple of inches longer anyway.
Looking good!
What balm did you try?
Before I cut my beard off, I was using a balm with no smell. I was very happy with it.I dont remember the name of it Scott, I found it at Walgreen's. Im still at the shop but headed home, when I get there I will post it. I do like it better than the beard oil I was using and it has NO SMELL.

Yeah, now you have to have the control not to try getting it just a little evened up. One side grows faster than the other on me so my attempt to just even it up, I end up trimming it way too much. You are in hands(trimmer) off stage.Gotta keep a beard balance in the world.You shaved and I stopped shaving. It's growing like watching a stopped clock, extremely slow, and I've previously never been able to get by the scrubby stage, so this is the very first time I will be able to say I had a full beard if I manage to keep the blade away.
