Talk:Buzz cut

Natalie Portman got her's for V for Vendetta...she's since been growing hair back.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
