Normally I would brag about cutting the cord, but clippers and cable are slightly different beasts.Yeah, I prefer the corded clipper, and it's super easy to navigate around the cord.

In Minnesota there were no barbershops just hair cutting franchise Salons. In Texas I found an old tImey barbershop, but unfortunately, maybe fortunately I don’t talk politics there. What I remember as a young adult as down to Earth, common sense country folk, has taken a serious hit in the last 5 decades.Toward the end of last year when I had no idea when I'd be getting vaccinated, I broke down and bought an inexpensive battery powered clipper set. It did the main job I wanted it to, which was keeping my hair from growing down over my ears. That drives me crazy.
My wife and I both tried to fully cut my hair, but with old age comes the wisdom to know when you're not very good at something and move on.
So now I'm back to getting professional haircuts. But the last few times I've gone (to one of those chain places), two different stylists insisted, while we were chatting, that you can't trust the news media. If I brought up something that was in the news that day, they had a reason why it probably wasn't true.
So I'm done with that place, I guess. There's a new barber shop that opened near me. I think I'll give that a try.
I tried to drag my Wahl DIY clipper through my hair the first time without a guard to see how it felt, (turned off) and remember those sharp blades gouging my skin.Yeah, I prefer the corded clipper, and it's super easy to navigate around the cord.
I had one mishap in the last couple of months (after doing this for years and years), the blue guard (which is why I got a new one - see above), came off right when I was start a neckline to over the ear (back to front), didn't realize it came off - went through the normal motion __without__ a guard, hahahaha ...
I just don't care, so I went with a Major League + Hawkeye look, to make it symmetrical
Ok, I was going to keep this secret, but this while looking silly, seemed like it was a great idea:Amazing! I soooo would have needed this back in the day when I cut my own hair. Good to know that it exists!
There are advantages to corded models. My trimmer’s battery decided to degrade rapidly and one day gave up halfway through. That was fun.
I thought I had a good barber for a while. He was a young tattooed dude who knew what he was doing. Unfortunately, he always had one or two buddies hanging around the shop and I would end up listening to the sordid details of their night time debauchery. That's not what I came there for either.In Minnesota there were no barbershops just hair cutting franchise Salons.

Congrats on getting past the denial stage!I started losing my hair at the front a few years ago and was in denial about it. Back in September 2019 I had my last official paid for haircut and when I got home I realised I needed to shave it all off. Best thing I ever did. Love the look and with COVID I was already shaving my head twice a week whilst my friends were stressing about their hair growing.
I just noticed my forehead looked bigger and there was no point growing a longer fringe anymore lol. I work with an engineer who has lost his hair at the back. He has thick hair apart from that but has this weird thing going on where his hair is styled like a mesh to try and cover it up. It doesn’t work as I can still see it every time I walk behind him when he’s sat at his desk. It’s a touchy subject with him as someone we work with mentioned it and it all got very awkward. He did mention recently in a conversation that if ever he lost his hair, his girlfriend wants him to go to Turkey for a hair transplant! Firstly he’s already there and secondly, get a new girlfriend I say!Congrats on getting past the denial stage!
A semi-distant relative of mine went with a ridiculous combover for many years. I was old enough to realize that he would be embarrassed by me pointing it out, but not old enough to realize I would be doing him a favor. When he finally shaved his head years later his appearance improved radically.
I just hope that someone will be there for me and care enough to alert me if I go down the combover route…
I recommend one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Zulay-Cereal...1&keywords=plastic+bowl&qid=1621944354&sr=8-4, and then a sharp pair of scissors + any old beard trimmer.And how hard is cutting your own hair? This video makes it look...not that hard.
The real WTF here is why Turkey of all places?I just noticed my forehead looked bigger and there was no point growing a longer fringe anymore lol.

The day I went into work with a shaved head I had two female colleagues comment how hot I looked lol, don’t tell my wife. Both seem to have a thing for guys with chisel jaws and shaved heads lol. Pretty sure they were being honest and not just nice.

Cheap I think lol. Like the people who go to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery I suppose. I know places like Bulgaria are popular for dentistry but I just wouldn’t risk my life in countries where health standards are much lower than in Western Europe.The real WTF here is why Turkey of all places?
Shit my secret is out.Like the people who go to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery I suppose.
I‘m reporting this post for puns against humanity.So I’m calling it the Snyder cut.
