I tried to buy some hair clippers last week at Walmart but they were out. So I used my bread trimmer today to cut my hair. Our Governor locked them down so I saved myself 15.00 plus tip.
 
I cut mine about a month ago. Sorry I dont have a picture without a hat on. But you can see the difference lol

Been doing it for years. Lost a bunch of the hairline, so went and bought clippers. Couldn't see paying someone $10 or more for basically a buzz job.

I havent has a "professional" haircut in over 15 years. I usually buzz it once every 3 or 4 years lol I let it get down to my back till I can't take it anymore then i cut it. Long hair gets In the way. I like the way it looks on me but it gets to a certain point where the caretaking and the annoyance isnt worth it anymore lol
 
Been responsible for my own haircuts for the past 12 to 14 years. I still use the scissors up top and in back, but use my beard trimmer for the back of the neck and sideburns and around the ears. Sorry, no pictures. The difference between a good haircut now a bad haircut is two weeks. LOL
 
Wife cut my hair for me last night. This coming after my barber called me and this week to tell me he is retiring, and wont cut my hair anymore from that call forward. Needless to say, she was nervous as hell! I told her if she messes it up I'll just shave my head. I have to say it turned out pretty well, I guess she didnt want me shaving my head. Sorry no pics.
 
I need a haircut something fierce.....but not disliking it enough yet to let my wife do it. I've got a BIG ol knot on the back of my head like a Klingon, so I like for somebody that knows what they're doing to cut it. Same guy who has cut my hair for 41 years decided to retire when the state closed all the shops due to the virus. I may try Smartcuts or something when we get unlocked.
 
I have been doing my own for nearly 30 years. I have a high quality Wahl clipper set with all the guards. Sometimes when I am too busy with work I have Great Clips do it, but I just tell them to use the same guards I use at home.

When I do it at home, my wife neatens up the back for me. It pretty much always turns out just fine.

I could do it or have Lori do it, but it's only $20 with tip so I get the barber to do it.
Our son Garrett let's our granddaughter Lennon do it. He sent us pics last week....I think he created a monster lol

Nope. I'm growing a pony tail. lol
I never had one, so I figured why not now.
I hope I can get the wife to braid it. lol
 
I've been buzzing mine off myself for about 25 years now. Back when I started going bald I went to transitions hair replacement for men, turns out it was a toupee glued to your hair that's left, coat me about $3,000.00 over a period of 6 months. I had a Corvette at the time and took off the top one day and went for a ride, long story short, never ride in a convertible with a toupee! I got home, shaved my head and never looked back.:lol:
