Hair Cutting Tools

Hair Cutting Tools

Take a long, hard, close look at the tools displayed in the picture. This, ladies and gentlemen, are the tools that were used by my almost-4-year-old man-cub to give his grandfather a hair cut!!!

It was a sight, when Advait pounced on my father, in a show of affection, to cut his hair. And then he brought out his “hair-cutting” tools. Hair-raising is more like it. It started with the blue hair clip being rubbed all over my father’s skull. The saw came in next. He grabbed a tuft of my dad’s silvered hair and began sawing… not at the hair but at the skull. The pliers were used for effects, post that. They were used like community gardeners use calipers to clip the shrubs into discipline.

The comb? He didn’t really use it. He just brought it out for effects.
