Cuts is perhaps an overly keen word if its just going over with the clippers. I just decided last week that since I was paying the barber £5 a pop and a set of clippers is £20 I'd start doing it myself. Did it tonight.

Managed to get the back nearly right, a small chunk out of the wrong place, but 3 more goes and I'll have broken even. Plus the clippers have an electric shaver attachment and nose hair trimmer, which will be really useful. I suffer from supernaturally long nose hair. I use it to make ropes.

Short hair is also more conducive to unobstructed headphone listening of course.

I don't drink.

I tried once or twice, and all I can say is, it's worth the $$ to not look like a fool...

aside from one that that I got wasted and shaved my head off - never. I have about the same manual dexterity as a fully grown Pomeranian.

i've even done a passable job with scissors before. I gave myself my playoff mohawk, and then turned it into a reasonable conservative haircut when the sides grew out. With clippers this time.

Been shaving my own head for years. I'll go to the barber if I want to clean up for something nice though, like a formal event or wedding.

I did it on my own one, I forgot to do the back. So I had my friend do it for me.

I trim my own ear hair.

I've only ever trimmed my own bangs. My hairdresser at the time taught me how, which was cool of her. I don't now though. My hair is best to professionals.

I buzz Mr. Plainsong though. Not a lot there to get wrong.

Ditto.

pics people, or it never happened.

 

[krmathis]

I do!
Been cutting my on hair for the last 5-6 years, with an electrical hair trimmer.

 

[The Pieman]

As someone with very little hair due to a perfect genetic haircut i.e. bald as, I have been using electric clippers for about 12 years. I have not been near a barber/hairdresser in that time.

cheers

Do you need them during? or after?

I shaved my head once a few years ago for reasons I still don't understand. The day I did that, I went to pick up my daughter from daycare and she ran away from me crying hysterically. I'm not about to try it again.
