Diesel15 - dude, that's genius!
OK, as SenoritaStache pointed out, it's not original. But it's a wonderful idea. Warms my heart just to know it exists.
Recently it dawned on me that my town has reached the point where it's cool to cut 100% clean on top and just rock the beard below. No stencil, just a razor and trimmer and I'm good to go. Last month was my last payment to the barber as long as this stays in style.
After that, it's stencils for me...if I have any hair left by then!!
