Default Self doing haircuts FTW!

I love saving $15 by cutting my own pubi.......head hair.


I wore out my beard trimmer so I went to harbor freight and got me this for $8. The only bad is this thing's #4 is really a 1.5. LOL It has an adjustable speed screw. I cranked that bad boy up and bout shaved my wein......head off.

I've been cutting my own hair for 5 years now.

Been through 1 cordless trimmer, but now I've got a replacement for that and a salon style pair of clippers like you posted.

I used a Wahl trimmer for a couple years, before I started shaving my head. I would use a #2 or #3 on top, and #1 on the sides.

Still use it for shaving my pubes & armpits

I've cut my own hair probably hundreds of times... Most of the time good, every once in a while, very, very bad. Honestly, with the clean up, the time it takes, and how much of a pain in the ass it is to get the back just right... it's worth paying $20 every month and a half to have one of the broads around the corner do it.

I put on the #1 guard and cut my hair about once a month.

When I've had short hair I cut it myself with a Wahl clipper and grade 2 all over.

I have one friend who keeps his longer, but instead of clippers he uses a flowbee (the thing that hooks up to a vacuum). He says it is great and it is still going strong 3+ years after he got it.
