Question for barbers - shaving around the ears Yesterday I went to a real barber for the first time since I was a child (instead of a hair salon a family friend worked at). I guess it’s my fault for not going to a real barber before, but I was really impressed. We have a family friend who is at a hair salon and I had always gone there but decided I wanted to go to a barber. Anyway, my haircut is a 1 faded into a 2 and then faded into a 3 clipper on top. The family friend who did this in the past never shaved anything - just buzzed and I was done. The barber shaved my neck which was fantastic but also around my ears. Now I’m kind of self conscious about these bald areas around my ears. Is this normal? I know next to nothing about male style or barber cuts in general so I thought I would ask here. It looks like I have arches around my ears - at least when I look from my perspective in the mirror.
