Anybody else cutting their own hair?

With the stay at home orders and quarantine stuff I don't really have a choice, luckily I learned about a year ago how to cut my own hair as good as a barber or hair dresser could.

What about you guys?

Yeah shaved it all off. It’s nice to know that I can rock the bald look now. Will be useful later in life for sure

I actually just ordered a pair of fancy hair scissors but it's just for trimming splits :E

I had it short before the lockdown, but I took most of it off with clippers and then shaved it, however it seems to be growing back something fierce. Might need to shave again tomorrow. Got a right action man fuzz going on atm.

Buzzed myself with a #2 the other day. Hair was getting annoying and I already had clippers as I was just keeping it buzzed a couple years back. No way I’m letting any public workers touch me anytime soon living in a city with a lot of cases.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
My wife has cut my hair for years, so this pandemic hasn't changed anything. Also I'm going bald so sadly there isn't much there even when it's been growing out for a while.

Shaving machine made me giggle for some reason. Love you.

Been cutting my own hair for over 10 years. I also loving staying in doors and playing games.

This corona virus ain't got nothing on me :messenger_winking:

I cut my head once when I was shitfaced and ended up shaving off everything, including my eyebrows. When I woke up I looked like a stage 4 cancer patient. Not so fun going to work the day after I tell ya.

Yep. As someone that generally hates people and loves being home and working from home this has been great. Other than the less fortunate people dying, getting sick as they have to go to work or having income reduced or gone of course. Feel bad for everyone not able to ride this out safely, and the extroverts getting stir crazy. For the wife and it just made us realize we’re happier being near hermits and not being zapped with forced interactions with colleagues and strangers.

Have a Remington clipper that works perfectly fine.
Sometimes I use the combs incorporated to trime the edges of the beard as well, but am saving the beard this year.

But it's a good thing now, people will give their seats in public transport or let you through in the store thinking you're dying. Plus there are those still thinking cancer is contagious so they'll stay away.

I never shaved my head before, since I would look like a murderer, but I did have to give myself a haircut a few times. First one I had to learn it, and turned out “ok,” second one was fine. I was lucky I already had a fully equipped beard trimmer

Your ego has to be pretty big if you exclusively get hair cuts at public places, home haircuts are fine and kinda expected, so I'll defend home hair cuts, great cost saving, and no waiting in line. You can have basic knowledge to cut your own hair or have a family member who can cut it for you.

Plan to do it next week. God I hope I won't fuck it up. Though it takes 5 minutes for a barber to do it with a machine, so I think I should be able to do it. And if it works fine, then I will do it myself from then on.

Cut mine again using my clippers without the guard. Didn't
bother shaving it again with the razer afterwards though. I suspect I'll do that next time, as it took about all of a week to get longer than I wanted.

Was it super easy? Barely an inconvenience?

I'm bald naturally, so I shave and hit it again with the Gillette Fusion in the shower anyhow. Comes natural as hell to me. I wouldnt mind having hair, but I dont stress being bald either. It's how you wear it, not what it is.

I know the thrill of a razored head.

When you said tight I instantly thought of this youtube series as it's a catchphrase they use (along with the rejoiner I replied with): -

 
I shaved mine yesterday. Not razor smooth, but as short as the clipper would do it.
Trying to pull a shirt on/off is much more of a challenge now.
