I don't know if there is some latent gene in me causing this. But for life of me I can't figure out what natures idea is. I have over the years flipped in my hair production. I think I have passed the 50-50 point now. I am now producing more hair on my ears, neck, nose, eye brows than the top of my head. Is nature trying to keep those areas warmer in my old age ? I see no rational reason for having to groom these areas at a 5 to 1 ratio compared to my head.  |

Gravity... As time goes by gravity pulls hair production down.
At least, that's how a friend of mine explained it when I pointed out that his hair was sliding off his balding head and onto his growing beard.

Maybe it's cause you're looking closer in the mirror?

Word to the wise, trying to shove one end of a multi-blade razor into your ears to clean out the hair is a sure way to get the blood flowing. I don't look that closely, but on occasion, when I see half inch hairs growing out of my nose (inside, and right on the nose) or ears or eyebrows or neck, I am a bit embarrassed that I have been going out in public this way. One of these is the way to go.  The Turkish barbers would slap your face with a flaming rag. This was not an exact science, and I suspected was more of a machismo (don't flinch) thing than a good grooming thing. And didn't smell all that good either. |

Turkish men also like to oil wrestle naked, so I think I'll seek my machismo role models elsewhere, like maybe Ni-Vanuatu land divers.  |

You know it's bad when someone compliments you on your braided mustache and it is really your nose hairs.
Long ear hair can be used for a comb-over.
Carry a baggy. Tell them you are not loosing your hair , it is just being relocated.

It's hair fer craps sake. Ya dasn't want it in yer food BUT start thinning out a mite on top and-DAMN-I gotz a problemo.  My moustache and my beard fill in rather nicely but I have the monks patch when I let my hair grow in da cold months. When I joined Uncle Sugars Canoe Club in Feb of 64 and the cut all my hair off and I was mite upset ya could say.  These days soon as it starts gittin a wee bit warm out come the electric shears the shave gel and my 5 bladed safety razor to put the smooth finish on my cranium.  In the summer I tell them-GOD only made a few PERFECT heads-the rest he put hair on! Far as ear and nose hair go-MAYBE It's their time!  RIDE SAFE. |

The Turks don't wrestle naked. At the National wrestling matches, they do cover themselves with olive oil. It makes for interesting competition. Competition lasts several days and is a great honor to compete .

And apparently a hairy asshole. You do know that no one appreciates a hairy asshole. |

Okay...I'll defer to your expertise on not-quite-naked men's oil wrestling.  I'll admit I don't have the appetite to do the research required to prove either of us right or wrong. ??? |

It's amazing how the more things change the more they stay the same. I remember sitting in the bathroom on the toilet seat watching my Dad shave. Loved the smell of shaving crème and Old Spice. I remember looking at him and noticing the bald spot, the hair on both his chest AND back. How gross the hair sticking out from his ears AND nose! Fast forward 50 years give or take and here I am. At least I'm entertainment for my 2 teen age kids.
