There are some guys that try to channel Paul Bunyan's style with the flannels and the beard, but there’s looking like a lumber jack, and there’s literally using an axe in place of a straight razor. Some bold men prefer the axe.
The latest trend in weird grooming is to have a barber cut your hair with an axe and hammer, or use the axe to shave your face. We hope that barber has steady hands!
The practice actually dates back to the '30s and ‘40s, when axe salesmen would demonstrate the quality of their wares by shaving a lucky or unlucky logger in front of a crowd of potential buyers. Today, Youtube users have replaced the crowd of loggers.
Still, that’s what people use to butcher chickens! Are you trying to take off a few inches—or your head?
If you still want your own axe haircut, Mike Saurus from Instructables detailed the process in an online guide and video below.
