Home haircuts

Post by mik »

Baldy fuckers may ignore this Fred....

When I am not sporting BoyBandHair, I usually get a 2 at the back and sides mate, and just a wee bit off the top please.

I was needing a cut when this all kicked off, so it is now doin my head in. :evil:

Have just bought some cheap clippers off eBay - since I don’t anticipate I’ll be able to do it myself, it’ll be down to mrs mik or one of the miklets to tackle my barnett... May God have mercy on me. :cry:

Shave as short as possible with electric trimmers then wet shave your head. It's the future viva la revolution!! 😂

This is what I'm going to do, unfortunately I fear it will reveal a few nasty scars from when I came off my bike and had staples in my head!

I hate going to the barbers so try to do it as infrequently as I can, usually every 2-3 months. I went about a month ago and got it shorter than usual (6 back and sides) so should be good for at least another 2 months until it gets worse than usual.

I shaved it all off about a year ago, I’m using the time to not shave it to see how much hair I have.

It’s chilly the first time you fully shave it off!!

I usually clipper my whole head about once a week. I haven’t done it since I started working from home.

I look like a caveman :lol:

I'll be doing a Mik next week but the clippers we have go from 0 to 6. So 6 all over then a 2 over the back and sides.

You can do a lot of damage with a scissors 😂

Last time my missus cut my hair 20yrs ago the guard fell off and she shaved a big fuckoff stripe off the side of my head and i ended up doing a no. 2 all over to try and even it up.

Expect the worst Mik 😂

Long time clipper & shaver here, so this week we’re mainly deciding what to do with my beard. Kids think full handlebar is the way to go...
Cheers,

Mike.

My missus has been trying to convince me to leave a Mansellesque caterpillar when I get round to shaving.

I’m not doing it.

I still have a fine head of hair ( although now rather grey ) so will be aiming for a full bouffant rather than clipsring it all off.

Sister in law usually does ours so we'll get her booked in once restrictions are lifted a bit.

The disgusting state of my facial hair is more of a concern although very easily solved when I can be bothered
Cheers, Harry

Got mine done 3 days before we went under so I am about 2 weeks from my usual required (1 into 2 then cropped on top) trim. Clippers will come out and it will be a FMJ special (maybe even the razor as mentioned above) as there is no way I am going full on hair metal! The eldest is already eyeing up the clippers for a 1 all over.

I decided to grow an early mid-life crisis beard over Christmas, but haven’t been brave enough to trim it myself yet, instead having a barber do it every 3 weeks or so.

I have to trim my beard at least every 10 days or it starts to make me look like a homeless person. I'm not going for bushy, mind you. I'm not too worried if I have to shave my head, just wondering where and how to fade into the sideburns and beard :lol:

£15 clippers from Lidl, Mrs did mine yesterday, 6mm all over looks alright as far as I can tell, I may never pay for a barber again. Losing my £8 every six months will devastate the industry I'm sure.

As a baldy cunt who had a #2 all over at the beginning of March, I’m starting to look like a well used tennis ball. I do have clippers but I’ve never been brave enough to use them. I might give it a go.
