Im not sure it's something I'd take to I think it is too throw back. Delon's and Gainsbourg's shorter hair is preferable to me... but i was inspired by WM im more a fed. Lounge type of person than a hoxton vintage fan

Cheers Yuca.  And the hipsters do seem to like the really severe cut, with the length on top standing in stark contrast to a REALLY sharp taper.  I just like a nice clean haircut - old school barber style... nothing severe.

Bop, your hair's pretty crazy in the texture department right?  Really wavy?  Just get a nice gradually tapered cut and then some stiff pomade, maybe like regular Murray's Original, not the super light.  When you get out of the shower keep the hair damp.  Then get a dab of Murray's and put it in the palm of your hand.  Run it under really hot water to get it really soft and then massage through the hair.  Style to taste.  At least that's my routine.  Running it under the hot water is key.  Don't just try to apply it direct.

And if you haven't actually parted your hair in a while, ask the barber if he can determine a good part.  Your hair will need to get used to being styled, so stick with it even if you're not feeling it at first.  I had to really get used to seeing my forehead again.  And experiment with product.  And seek the barber's advice.  If they're good, it will be sound.

WM - I love your blazer and generally your rise as well, but the two combined make the amount of shirt up top look a little out of proportion. I do think that it would look great with the jacket buttoned. Just a little feedback. I may try your Murray's trick. The product that I use now is too expensive. I have noticed that we have very similar haircuts.
