Hi Johnny... the difference is really striking. It`s actually very similar to how Anytwanty`s looked too at the start because the sides are so short.... just leave it come out another little bit and it will be great ... the back/crown look really good too. When you say you ``had it blended in`` --did you go to a stylist ? If so, I assume you`ll go there for your custom cut-in? I think Debbie did a really nice job with cutting the stock though....how`s the `fit`? I bet you look years younger too ! Well done and thanks for the pics..... looking great man !. Paul.
