[Misc] Will you Grow your Hair Out or Will You Do it Yourself?

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Keeping the beard trimmed as it gets too much grey in there when it grows out. Hair is being kept under control by wax at the moment but starting to look more like Nish Kumar every day.

One of my colleagues bought some clippers. He usually has a number 2, so set it at 2. Only to find that this meant 2mm - and once he found that out it was too late!

I always thought the number aways represented the amount of mm the cut was ??

No, they usually have both marked on them though.

No, they usually have both marked on them though.

I was nearly right !

Number 1 – one-eighth of an inch
Number 2 – one-quarter of an inch
Number 3 – three-eighths of an inch
Number 4 – one-half of an inch
Number 5 – five-eighths of an inch
Number 6 – three-quarters of an inch
Number 7 – seven-eighths of an inch
Number 8 – one inch

I'm getting my Mrs to do mine with the dog (ex dog) clippers.......got to be resourceful.

Done mine, shortest haircut I have ever had. Was going to get the wife to do it but I started it and found it easy. Used the (ex) dog clippers without a comb/guard and it almost as good as a shave, wife just tidied up the stray hairs behind my ears Job done, looks good.

I'm quite enjoying letting mine grow... should look a total mess in a months time

I had a go at mine last Saturday with clippers - took off too much, too far up at the back, so I've got a very high line now.

See how a second go next week pans out, but I think I'll end up going skinhead until barbers ever reopen.

There are some really interesting styles about. I'm hiding under a hat ... I look like a Brillo Pad that's seen better days

We borrow clippers (set at 2.5) from our barber each time and bung him a few quid. Obviously, he's got no income.

Same here, except I used my beard trimmer clippers!

 

[Motogull]

My beard is coming along, but I'm off to do a DIY skinhead and a possible wet shave afterwards. I'll be the weediest Tyson Fury lookalike ever.

Any tips? I'm concerned about the neck.

Got some remington clippers on amazon for a tenner on Sunday. They're now £50 :-o

Zero on the neck. Whatever number you like for the rest.

Zero all over, keep it simple.

I had my hair cut New Years Eve.


I'm a reluctant hair cut patient, so when I need a cut I really need a hair cut.

I finally went to the barbers but Stacey wasn't working so I went home, thinking I'll go tomorrow.
It turns that was...







... Lock Down Eve.

Nice bit of symmetry.


Just back from my barbers having had my second (2) haircut of the year to news that we're ostensibly in Tier 4.


It would seem my hair and Covid are somehow linked.

I'm on to my second hair clippers of the pandemic. The battery on the first ones no longer holds any charge. I got 3 cuts out of them which still works out cheaper than 3 trips to the barber.

I've replaced the cheap Amazon clippers with slightly less cheap Amazon clippers.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Better buy your hair clippers early. During the first lockdown, prices rocketed. I got skinned twice, and only once by the clippers.

Wahl are probably the best.

My good lady wife booked in for a Christmas Eve 9am fleecing with the corded cutters.

Have to look presentable for Santa.
