Edgar cut

[Donn Beach]

Don't know how closely you guys follow fashion. I've read about this a number of times, thought I would finally post something. The go to haircut these days is the Edgar cut, and yeah, it's supposed to have been named after Edgar....


British GQ... it's even more popular in America

Over the past couple of years, the Edgar haircut has become one of the most popular hairstyles out there, especially with soap makers in Brixton and craft beer enthusiasts in Shoreditch. While some see it merely as a grown-up bowl cut, it actually has a rich indigenous heritage that traces back over half a millennium.

Originating from the Jumano tribe, which dominated Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico between 1500 and 1700, tribesmen used to rock a very similar cut, complete with intricate face markings and a headdress made from bird feathers. While nobody really knows where the name “Edgar haircut” even came from, some believe that it was popularised by the former professional baseball player and coach, Edgar Martínez.

Actually it's a fact it's named after Edgar, what do Brits know

Didn't realise GQ still sells in decent numbers. Yet I know of absolutely nobody who has ever bought a copy. Perhaps they are in doctors and dental surgeries and thousands of barbers?

Circulation of 100,000 or so is pretty good in this digital age. Maybe they should be able to afford better writers.

-What's a magazine, Grandpa?

-It's a website that they print on paper for some reason.

Didn't want to make it about GQ, seemed a consise article. This one has a picture of Edgar cut into a guy's head. This connection to Edgar seems pretty wild to me, wonder what he thinks about it

In that case I can guarantee you that at least 66,999,000 of the 67,000,000 Brits will never have heard of our Edgar.

I got the gag no problem. I bet as well from now on I will notice it all the time and hear the name. I will report back when I get drawn into a random debate at work when someone walks in with an Edgar….. “Hey, guess how I know how it got its name….?” Cheers Donn

Off day nonsense. We should go back to the Dead mariner thread!

Ironic that the haircut looks nothing like Edgars....

Yeah, just seemed funny, particularly Edgar. I would say he's the last guy I would think of having a haircut named for him. Particularly one that's popular in England and Germany
