Got a haircut.

I started cutting my own last year. My wife gets real mad at me but for years I've always done a taper fade at a 1. It's pretty easy to do myself.

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?

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

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.

I wet shave my head.

This is the easiest. If you still feel hair, keep going!

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Didn't hear about that before, thanks for the tip

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Takes 10-15.

say no more, that's my biggest gripe with barbers lol. And thanks for the advice!

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Haha yeah that's what i figured, sinse you mentioned time. I cut it in the bathroom before I shower. Im already trimming the beard so might as well.

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.

Not had mine cut in 3 months lol

That's weird. In the US, some version of a fade is so common it is often referred to as just a "men's cut."

Does your skin itch right on the back of your head? You might have seborrheic dermatitis. They make shampoos for that if you ask your doctor.

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

No, it's stubble (I think). Awful feeling. I'll look into dermatitis jic tho lol

I miss having hair sometimes. But then I think about all the money I save on haircuts by shaving it. But still, the option for different looks would be nice.
