[edit] Neutrality

This page contained generalisations which may apply to some western countries but should not be assumed to be true everywhere. I have reworded some sections, but the article is still written from a western (North American) perspective which is likely not to be the case in other parts of the world (particulrly in terms of popularity etc). The article does not describe the popularity (or social conotations and stigmas) of the cut in some countries. The degree ogf pupularity among women varies widely among different cultures and the section is problematic. In terms of Western cultures it is the exception rather than the rule and any popularity is relative. -- Grummbles 12:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

PS. I removed a part that claimed that most buzzcuts are cut with a "number 1". Firstly, this is jargon, and should be explained (known as a grade 1 in the UK and other parts of the English speaking world), and secondly, it is my experience that a "number 1" is the most radical type of buzzcut and that most buyzzcuts are cut with a # or maybe #2 guard. And while I'm at it, buzzcuts aren't even known as buzzcuts in some parts of the world. In Australia they are known as crewcuts, and I dare say that they have different names in different parts of the world. -- Grummbles 12:40, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I think the Grades reffer to 1/8 of inches, but im not sure enough to include it. Does anyone know if its true. Lazmac 23:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It's true. Each grade is 1/8 of an inch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.55.209.56 (talk) 19:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cow-Cut

I agree that this cut is known by different names in different countries. One of my friends has recently acquired the same cut. We call him Cow, so I would like to call this cut as "cow cut."

[edit] Why?

Why do people get buzz cuts? Is it the sound of the clippers? Is it because it's low matenance? Or maybe it's the fuzzy feeling it has on the fingers after being freshly cut. Who knows?

I do a buzzcut becaue I got tired of paying $14 for a haircut. I do like the feeling of the freshly cut. I like the low maintenance. A shaved head is NOT a buzzcut, and is the most high maintenance of all, because it must be shaved almost every day. My buzzcut lasts for at least 2 weeks. Then, I just do another one.

It costs nothing and is very practical. --Joffeloff 23:25, 14 January 2007

Why should there be a picture of a woman on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.55.209.56 (talk) 18:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pic of a woman....

It would be nice if we could get a pic of a woman with a buzzcut on here, however I realize that said picture would be hard to find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.106.237.249 (talk) 19:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
