Yes, it needs to be exact. At times; I'll jump out of bed at night to re-arrange a chair in my room, or re-arrange the razors in their case. I used to measure all the windows in the house to make sure they were open by the same amount (sash windows). I can never ever leave the house without polishing my boots, and must always polish my cufflinks. I like the volume of the radio to be on even numbers; even if 47 is the 'right' volume. I strop 30/70 mainly because I like it to add up to a nice even 100. I'll trim my moustache and beard, go and sit in the lounge room, and then almost immediately get up and trim it again. I grind my coffee beans for exactly 15 turn of the grinder handle each morning. I am odd.

You probably could have omitted the part about being odd, or did it just dawn on you after writing this post. :D if your moustache was slightly uneven would you keep leveling it up even of it was getting too short, or would you be able to cope.with it until it grew out?

Oh, do you think it was obvious? :-)

No, I'd have to even it up. But if it got too out of hand I'd have to leave it and just be depressed for a few days... :-(

Yeah, I do the climbing sideburn thing, I have to put my finger onto the bottom of my sideburns at the back closest to my ear and the front closest to my cheekbone to make sure they are both at the same place on my face, can't see both sides of my head at the same time. Though I do get to a cutoff point too. I think absolutely no sideburns looks weird, I used to work with a feller who shaved right up level with the curve of his hairline above his ears. But my preferred sideburn is a full muttonchop, where I shave from my jawline down, shave my chin and upper lip, and everyone I know thinks that looks weird, horses for courses I suppose. Had to shave them off as wifeyo and daughter hated them.:boohoo:

My wife thinks I suffer from OCD because of the way I organise my socks - She said, 'do you realise that's OCD behaviour?' I said 'you mean CDO'. She said 'it's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder'. I said, 'yes, but CDO is the correct alphabetical order'.

I wish I could have proper sideburns, my hair doesn't really grow there; I have quite a sparse, fine beard really. I let my actual sideburns grow as long as they can without looking silly.

All this talk about sideburns made me think of this scene from the movie, "Joe Dirt". Sorry in advance for both the clip and for being off topic, I should have been asleep hours ago.

I like a wandering thread, so don't apologise, sleep depravation is something that makes posts interesting, besides I started this thread about some blanking plugs and took it to mutton chops, so don't fret. I am starting to find that 4-5 hours sleep is adequate, or maybe not, I was going to start a favourite facial hair thread but I think we just gave birth to it

I am sure my wife would have let you have mine before they went.
If you have dark hair Elvis ones are available from joke shops:-D

The vid was a bit hard to watch, very blue, i have to do all this stuff on my phone which doesn't help. So I googled him, his sideburns are like early supergrass ones. Listening to them takes me back a ways. I think he could have bigger ones though. :-)
