Anyone cut their own hair?

[01rednavigator]

I have been cutting my own hair for years, I bought some special Wahl clippers that cut very close almost bald. But I have been growing my hair out for the last 5 months or so just to try something different, it is starting to drive me a little crazy and probably will cut it all of at the beginning of summer.

When I got out of the Military in 1992, I just couldn't wear my hair long, try as I might...I just felt slower LOL...#3 on the sides, #4 on the top.

Well, we did have a mullet or four roaming the halls too.

Sounds like you have a good wife!

A good wife charges $20 for a lap dance? So if you have a great wife does the price go up or down?

Price goes up as the quality increases, not that I'd know any things about that

My SIL is a hairdresser, she's been cutting my hair for a good 20 years. Last time I tried to cut it myself, it went something like this:

I graduated before the big hair era began. I can't figure out why it looks like she has a giant bald spot on one side of her head.

At least he's not bald! Then again, maybe the poofed out hair hides the bald spot.

I think that's her face.. there are many theories as to why it's there.

I literally went to the same barber for over 50 years every chance I got. Friend of the family, especially my dad and Lynn gave me my first haircut. Heck 15 years ago still only $5.00! He even moved his chair in to the assisted living home after his wife passed. A few years ago I found out my wife got her beautician's license when she was young. So any time I need one, 20 minutes and boom, DONE in the comfort of our kitchen and free. She's a terrific gal which is the only reason I moved to Kali. She is also killin it at her new job....me, heck still don't know exactly what work I will find but pluggin away.

Don't laugh... I've already heard all the jokes.
...I've been cutting my own hair since 1978 (yeah, that's almost 40 years), and I'm still using the same FlowBee that I bought way back then. Although I did breakdown and buy a set of replacement spacers last year.

Even at just 8 haircuts X $20ea X 40yrs = a savings of $6400...
....(that's a lot of ammo)

Respect the Flowbee.
Cheers.

I have set of clippers on the way...so I'll get my first COVID cut this weekend.


I see in the suggested column that Wahl oil comes from China. And given what I read about that makes me wonder ...

What oil do you all put on your clippers?

I cut my own hair and I cut my dad's here to save money I mean it's easy to give a crew cut.

I cut my own hair unless ordered from my teens. Straight clippers no attachment. Easy to clean and maintain. Now the misses likes my hair so I'm growing it until I get so frustrated I cut it off again.

If you do cut your own hair with a trimmer....
Try not to sneeze at the same time....

Last time anyone cut my hair other than me Ronald Reagan was still the POTUS.

Walmart carries a few different oil/cleaners which is where I got my last few cans.

I used to get a big can from the pet store but it started going up in price.

wife and daughter have been letting it grow out which is fine since it was only shoulder length to start with.

Ive been close shaving my head for 25 years - gave up on the bic slick since it only stays that way for a couple days max.

Works for me, easy to do by myself and it's super low maintenance. Wear hats usually anyway so I do it about every 2 weeks.

Face is about the same, my wife doesn't mind it getting scruffy so about the time it needs to be trimmed into a beard I shave it off with the clippers as well but that's more of a weekly thing.

I'm 33. I've shaven my head with no attachment since I was 15. The one and only time I've grown my hair out and got a haircut was for my wedding.
