maroonlegions Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 What one are you ,or what one are you heading for. Mrs got new clippers from Amazon, and yes she cut my hair. I am now number 6 on the below picture. Some might ask why let your wife cut your hair, answer desperation..My hair was doing my nut in.

graygo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Amazon were either out of stock or had long delivery dates when I checked yesterday. Got one of these bad boys coming from eBay on Tuesday for much cheapness. Wife will no doubt butcher me but who cares, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEMEI-Hair-Clippers-Men-Head-Basic-Barber-Trimmer-Nose-Beard-Shaver-Rechargeable-/383502547358 Edited April 16, 2020 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I got some last weekend and anticipated doing a daft haircut before then doing a 2 all over for the first time in my adult life. Ended up doing a decent (ish) job on the back and sides so left it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I've not had a haircut since i was 15, I've always just shaved my heid, 0.5 all over. My hair was so thick, I'd have to go to the barbers every two weeks or it would do my nut in, so just starting shaving it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Luckily I went to the barbers a couple of days before lockdown. Number 3 crop as usual but it's getting a bit fluffy now, living on my own though gives me the fear about getting a set of clippers and trying it on myself. I had also grown a full beard up until a week ago, but for some odd reason I've shaved it off but left a nice porn star style moustache, so if I did get clippers I'd end up looking like an extra from a Frankie Goes To Hollywood video.

Dawnrazor Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 My son loves to get his hair cut at the local Barber about every 2/3 weeks, he's a wee poser really!!, its obviously closed so his mum cut it on Monday, he wanted a mohican so a mohican it was, I did say Wattie would be proud!!

¼½¾ Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I've got a reverse 'YouTube lied to me' just now. I suppose I should get the clippers out. When I first bought clippers, around 30 years ago, an uncle came to visit one night and asked if I'd cut his hair. I cut half of it and told him the clippers had broken. Left him for a couple of hours before finishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I dyed my hair ultra light cool summer blonde a couple of weeks ago. Today it was too long, specially at the sides, so it needed cut.

Салатные палочки Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I borrowed my dad's clippers. Did a number 7 last Friday. Took the guard off to clean it and put it back on. It clicks down and then pops back up to your number. I went straight in without waiting for it to pop up and bang, patch of number 1. I just left it, I wasn't going to go 1 all over. It's grown in a bit now and doesn't look as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There's not much more I want right now, than a bloody haircut. Was about due one when everywhere went on lockdown so now I'm way past that stage. I don't mind the top being too long, it's when the sides start to grow over my ears, I can't ****ing stand it. Especially when you wear specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyview Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Usually get it cut every 8 weeks, so manageable, but is now 12 weeks. It is OK when washed and heavy brushed.... But when not, well over ears and at least 2 inches too long... Have dyed it.... More black then my usual brown. Will get clippers on Saturday, god knows how it will turn out as live alone.... Self isolated. Do you clip from front to back? My barber uses the clippers at the back.... How do you do that? If your walking up the street and see a poor soul with a "no dad" haircut..... Have pity, it might be me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
