That's exactly what I did ... partly because I can now give myself a haircut whenever I feel like it, and partly because sometimes there's that little to take off that it just ain't worth it ... but when I DO decide to go the local barbers I'm only charged ?3.50 for a #1 all over (they only charge me that cos they feel sorry for me probably and like I say, so little to take off) LOL

I got a set of ceramic clippers so I can do my hair (what's left of it) whenever I want, but my local barber only charges me £3.50 anyway for a #1 all over - I think it's cos there is so little to actually take off

I would mess up around the edges and they would be wonky etc

Yeah, that can be the hard part, but it comes with practice ... but I also know that my local barber shop can do a better job, so sometimes I'd rather they just "tidied it up" ... as opposed to me trying to use a pair of scissors close to my ears ... one day, I swear, I'll look like Vincent Van Gogh

You don't need ceramic clippers, we've had a steel set for easily 10 years and they're still fine. For probably 3 years of that they were used on me, my brother and my dad once a fortnight.

i use babylis clippers to cut my sons hair every month or so. used to do hubbies before that. the clippers are about 12 years old now and are beginning to die slightly. Instead of cutting the hair they seem to pull it out instead. Might have to invest in a new pair. It saves me £5 a month as that is what the barber charges which is disgusting as its a number 2 all over, no skill required.

I dont have this problem as i carefully do style my hair twice a day to make it look good, and have it coloured once a month with highlights.

My missus thinks im vain

I cut my hair as short as it is purely because it goes all wavy and curly if it gets longer, which looks pretty damn stupid on a bloke of 45 whose hair is starting to thin out.

Apparently Chris's hair will go curly (well I think he told me that once...) if it ever was allowed to grow that long which needless to say it isn't He's always had it as short as possible anyway, so would be mighty odd if saw it any different!

Men have it so easy!
