Alpo Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 My first thought was crew cut, but I think it's even shorter than a crew cut. There's too much hair to be "shaved", so how would you describe it?
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Burr. A burr cut is a butch cut less than 1/4” long.
Blackwater 53393 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 It is a burr or a buzz cut. A crew cut has the sides cut this way, but the hair on top is slightly longer and is left standing. Many who wore the crew cut used a wax or other hair dressing to get the hair on top to stand at attention.
Alpo Posted November 13, 2020 Author Posted November 13, 2020 Blackwater, what you describe is a flat top, also known as a Butch.
Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Flat top and Crew cut are synonyms.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Always just called it The Curly.
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Back when I HAD to get mine cut like that, they were called BUZZ cuts.
Dusty Boots Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Depends on your age, older was a burr, younger a buzz.

South-Eye Ned Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 No, crew-cuts and flat-tops are not the same. I had a flat-top when I was 10. With a flat-top is quite literally cut to give you a flat look on top
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 My Dad always called it a Pig Shave. When I got in trouble (which hardly ever happened ) he would threaten to have my hair cut that way as opposed to my usual crew cut. Seamus
Joke 'um Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Call it, "easy". Do it yourself. Free. Next task? My 'do' since 1981.

Diamond Jake Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Dad was a small town barber from 1950 to mid 80's. He gave us Princetons when we were kids; crew cuts with bangs that you combed, while rest of hair was left natural.

Raylan Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 That there haircut is called the "full metal jacket" - cause it makes ya crazy......
Blackwater 53393 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 From the picture provided by SDJ, the crew IS in fact flat on the top! The “flat top” is just a little longer than the “crew”! The crew IS flat on the top until it slopes off the back of the head.
Eyesa Horg Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 When I was a youngun, it was called a "butch".
watab kid Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 my dad called it a butch when i got it in the very early years - he cut hair for his crew on saipan ,
