I look fine with that hairstyle but I'm just getting tired of it…it takes long to wash and then I have to take a few minutes to comb it, and I'm thinking that a buzz cut would be so much easier to maintain.
Most of the boys in my school now have buzz cuts. And I used to always buzz my hair when I was younger…until I was about 12…then I started growing it longer.
But I'm worried about how I'd look with one. When I get out of the shower, while my hair is still wet, I push it all back so I can see my hairline. I think I'd look fine with a buzz cut, but then again I'm just not sure. I don't have a fat face but it's not skinny either.
I'm leaning towards getting one. A lot of other boys in my grade used to have longer hair for a while and they looked good with that hairstyle but then they got buzz cuts and they look good in that too.
So any opinions? Should I start with the longest attachment blade first and then go shorter if I want? What is the longest blade?
A butch…

…the style being referred to by "buzz cut" fully suits relatively few guys. A barber with a good aesthetic sense can usually design a regular layer/taper cut- the style you are now wearing, "cut around my ears and stuff"- or one of the short pomp(pompadour) styles-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- to fully suit most fifteen year old guy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. Start with a longer style and then if you want a shorter style, try it next haircut. Go to a barber shop and get an ivy league. Then if you want to go shorter, go with progressively shorter crew cuts. Try a flat top crew cut. Before the long hair era that started in the mid 60's and lasted through the early 1980's, every other college guy and college prep high school guy wore a short buzzed style. It was almost exclusively crew cuts, flat top crew cuts and ivy leagues. Butches were mostly home haircuts for pre teen boys. Guys would constantly change it up from haircut to haircut. A medium flat top crew cut became a medium crew cut, next haircut, then a short ivy league, ivy league and long ivy league, short regular taper cut, back to a short crew cut or short flat top crew cut. Some guys would war a crew or flat in the summer and then grow out their hair to a regular taper cut in the Fall and winter. Some basketball and wrestling coaches required crews or flats to be a member of the team. Most girls like it when guys wear an ivy league or crew cut but not so much a butch. It isn't the style; rather, it is simply that a butch does not suit as well as the guy's longer style while an ivy league or crew cut usually suit at least as well as the prior longer haircut.

Search the internet for images of soccer star Lukas Podolski for numerous examples of the ivy league and crew cut style. A minute dab of control wax will keep the hair looking well groomed at crew cut and ivy league length. I prefer krew comb, jar variety. A butch comb also helps- the small, flat, plastic, oval, pocket brushes that one finger fits through and barbers sell for about a dollar.
