Rumor has it that WBRU is making a comeback! We old school PVD’ers really hope that’s the case so the awesomeness can carry on through the generations of alternative music, discovery of new and cool music from everywhere, the amazing themed nights , interviews with the musicians, and of course, the super smooth, velvety “360 degree Black Experience In Sound” every Sunday, all day long.

So many ways to define the super fun and versatile “s**g”. It’s also known as Wolf Cut, M.E.T. (Modern textured), The Rachael (90’s version), the Shullet.
•
Every era had one, starting in the late 60’s up to today. Many versions…all super fun.
•
This cute little s**g was don’t by using mixed razor and shear techniques. Razor requires the hair to be soaking wet when carving it out, and holding the sections with a lot of tension. The blade needs to be super sharp and angled correctly. Shear work was used as the hair began to air dry a bit to creat a little more density to the overall look, and to anchor some sections by creating a more solid strand ending, rather than an airy tapered one created by razor cutting. The blend is beautiful, especially on medium density.
