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. 1, 2, & 5 are pretty standard footballers' cuts these days. No. 3 (a.k.a. the "Ramon Pereira"*) has been a standard and perfectly acceptable cut for Austrian men for many years, ideally matched with a polyester, floral-pattern, shirt and a stone-washed, denim, gilet. * (I'm just jealous as I've had a 'Robocop' for years now. If I don't have a go with my clippers soon, however, it'll be in danger of turning into an 'Art Garfunkel'... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've got fairly large lugs so no danger of going for the shaved all over look, i'm just letting it grow but my hair grows pretty quickly anyway and was overdue a haircut before all this started, i'm basically spending 90% of the time moping about the house resembling the dude from the big lebowski, just missing the flip flops and sunglasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Not done it yet but most likely going for a baldy...2 or 3 all over. Use to have really long hair for years, then a mullet when they came into style before going for different variations of the short back and side look. My hair now comes in incredibly thick and frizzy and I have big long grey streaks throughout so growing it out is not an option. So baldy it is. Not something I am wanting to do because I doubt i will suit it but better than the hobo look I thonk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Got my missis to do a short back and side by following a YouTube tutorial with the knowledge that if went to **** I was going to shave it off anyways. Actually came out better than I expected especially after a bit of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just had my first attempt at the old clippers. Nerve-racking to say the least, I don't have a mirror to hold up to see the back but have a very big suspicion I've made an arse of it trying to tidy up the neck hair.

Samuel Camazzola Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I managed to get these from a local Boots store https://www.boots.com/wahl-classic-edition-grooming-gift-set-10176636 The website has a stock checker option for branches and fortunately, they were in stock. Added bonus of when I arrived to find they were marked up with a half price tag! Nice maroon colour and comes in a little metal briefcase.

First one went well, this time both me and the mrs were a bit overconfident I think. Too high a line/taper at the back and I spotted a random clump on the top of my head so attempted to solve that issue with the clippers with no guard on. When I bend down I look like a piggy bank.

hughesie27 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 GF trimmed the back and sides for me on Tuesday with a pair of communal clippers that have seemingly done the rounds in Sighthill. She done a good job but I never let her near the top which is long but okay just now. Will need trimmed within the next month though.
