Don’t like how my skin burns up a little after it, but anything’s better than being chastised for having a fade or bad hair. I often wish i could just have long hair so i wouldn’t need to go, but it itches like hell.

    Eventually i’d like to learn on my own, but i’m busy currently. How do you reach the back of your head, for example?

      The back is easy to reach because I do it all with clippers. I have one of the kids or my wife clean up the edge.

      Ive been cutting my hair for years. I just use the 7" clip on the razor for the top, and 6 or 5" on the side. Make your left hand a a karate chop gesture and put the edge of your pinky right above where you want to cut the back. Bzzz

      Takes 10-15. Longer when you’re not used to it.

      Takes a lot less time than going to a barber, and a lot less expensive.
