Nicely performed 'selfcut' Mrdeadfolx.

I trim my own hair, or I rather should say head since I use the 3mm trimmer on both 'headhair' and beard, same length. Vuuury convenient. And I guess it averages out my wifes $80-100 cuts....

Same here, no fussing over varying lengths. 15 minutes, same trim guard for head and beard. Let it grow out 2 weeks, repeat process.

I only tried to cut my hair once, and that was in middle school. My dad was too busy cleaning the garage, and I thought it wouldn't be too hard. So first thing I did was grab one of those huge buzzing razor things, the kind used for the back of the head for fading. I thought I could start by chopping off all of the excess hair here and there.

But I disregarded two crucial facts: one, I didn't have any plastic guard on it, and two, it cuts way faster than I thought.

Fortunately my dad helped save the day for my hair (or what was left of that near-bald spot) shortly after.

Over spring break I got talked into a mohawk, which lasted about one day before I decided it was horrible and had to go. Unfortunately, we forgot the attachments for my friend's clippers at home, so I had to go over the whole thing with bare clippers.

That sucked a lot. Having a cold head is a terrible, terrible feeling.

But now it's grow out a bit, to the point where it's 3/4" to 1.5" everywhere, and I kind of like it. Except some parts are starting to get annoying, like the sideburns and the back of the neck stuff. I used to keep my hair a little on the long side, so I want to keep my options open. How hard would it be to keep everything clean looking with a set of clippers while everything grows out? Would that be a worthwhile investment, or should I just go back to haircuts?

I don't cut my hair, and its getting pretty long now

Let's see:

1. Trim nose hair with electric nose hair trimmer.
2. Trim ear hair with, err...electric nose hair trimmer.
3. Shave head, first with electric clippers, then razor.
4. Under-arm hair once a year. (Rapunzel actually used her under-arm hair.)
5. Eyelashes...once shaved them off completely to see how it would work with my shaved head. Unimpressive.
6. Around the naughty-bits...none of your damn business.
7. Back hair...nope.
8. Chest hair...nope.
9. Legs...nope (although I had considered it for a fleeting moment cause I ride a road bike.)
10. Hair of the dog...um...not relevant.

Looks interesting, would love to read a few reviews or at least see some before and after pics

Personally I use a Remington with the 6mm attachment, and I've never had a problem (if you dont mind the short-all-round look). I keep saying "I'm gonna try the 3mm today", but I always change my mind at the last minute

Style cuts are better left for hairdressers IMHO

been cutting it myself for 5 or so years now. of course if i have to go to some formal event i'll grow it out and go some place. it's hard to give up $13 for what usually amounts to 15 min though.
