No, the man with the knife asks me not to ”relax”. He put the cold, sharp steel against kåsörshalsen and with a conscious skurkaktigt smile he says: ”You are not afraid, huh?”

It’s the premiere for me with a real barber, yet I have had a beard since long before I was missing reasonable conditions for it. My hakbehåring is older than the internet.

the Only two times I have shaved clean. The first time was when I went to university and was called ”one of those jazzskäggen”. The other time the blame I entirely on the Wife B, who, with his public approval (by me!) had blown up self-confidence so much so that I thought myself to be ready to face a mirror without ansiktshårets fuzzy protection.

I have the same observation: my goodness what a beard is growing slowly while sitting alone in a bathroom and waiting for it.

the Wife’s comment to my nynakna face was certainly kindly meant, but not fully warming: ”But you need the no beard, darling, you do have a chin!”

In grundanalysen she was right, of course, most of the beard is compensatory. But for me it has never been about a lack of chin, without hair. This, I believe, by the way, is the most common odlarorsaken in the western world – beard case, one might say, to hair which sports cars to the penis.

At the time of my first helrakning I had by the way a lot of phone contact with the cool organizer for the year’s coolest music festival in Umeå. We decided that we would meet when I came up, but the meeting was not exactly as I hoped. When I introduced myself she said:

”Are you sure?! I thought that you was tall and good looking”.

enough to take with me ”what a lovely voice I have” from such a moment, but just let your gaze fall, and the beard grow.

And now, in rakstolen, I say to the stranger with the knife: ”You need to maybe not take so much”. He smiles his vargleende again, and despite the fact that he accidentally cut a nice little cut in my neck, I feel safe and calm. I have taken up kåsörens inner arms. I sharpen on a pun. Unfortunately, dear readers, there will be only this: ”Hi, we’re a vocal group, but we are not so board wit”.
