Hello everyone. I present, to you, some personal history. I celebrated a milestone yesterday. August 17, 2025 was the fiftieth anniversary of my first haircut. Fifty years ago, August 17, 1975, was the date. My paternal grandfather was the barber. I actually have samples from that day. It was a tradition, back then, for the first haircut to be saved. There were two pieces separated. I am assuming the family wanted the curls cut first and then the bulk of it second. You can see that my hair was quite blonde. Included with the hair was a note in German written by my mother: "Michael's erster Haarschnitt ende August 1975". Translation: "Michael's first haircut end of August 1975". Five decades ago.
Very, very special - in honor of this half century commemoration, I cut a sample of my present hair. Hair from 1975. Hair from 2025. I hope to see you on August 17, 2075 for the 100th anniversary of my first haircut.
