Hair cut

[coffeejo]

I dont dare do different lengths, would probably make a right mess

I can't see the back. It *feels* neat and tidy.

Currently trying to decide between once again using my own clippers and giving myself a No 2, (after all as potsy rightly pointed out it is winter now),

Don't cut your hair in winter - think of the money you'll save on wooly hats and heating bills with that extra insulation up there!

It had to be done, I was starting to suffer severe helmet hair

I know the exact date when I last went to the barbers. 30th July 2004.

It was the day before my wedding so I needed a professional No.1 instead of the usual bodge job.

I must have saved £1,000's on hair cuts :troll:

Too right! I'm balding anyway, but I've bought some new clippers and have cut my hair back to a length of 11 mm (what are those numbers everyone is quoting?) and my head has been freezing ever since! I'm wearing a woolly hat indoors a lot of the time now.

11mm??? You long haired lout
No1=3mm
No2=6mm
No3=9.5mm
No4=13mm

That's on my set, they must vary from make to make.

 

[ColinJ]

Yeahbut that's only 11mm where there is hair, and even where there is hair, it is sparse in places!

My clippers do pretty much a shave with no attachment on, then from 1 mm to about 31 mm in 2 mm steps with different combinations of clipper setting and attachment.

What's all this metric rubbish? They are eighths of an inch No1 is 1/8", No2 is 1/4 etc, so there !

Ah - that means I gave myself about a 3.5 which fits in with potsy's numbers. I think I'll try 17 mm next time (~5.4).

With so little hair, my face is looking much fatter than before my haircut!

Time to bring your avatar into the 21st Century?

No 19 though the postman seems to think I'm at 18 this week.

Now that it's come up, I'm going to give myself a No 3 with a couple of scissor touch ups round the ears, then for the back I'm going to do that looking in 2 mirrors thing where the hand goes in exactly the wrong direction.

Ah, also known as a 'coffeejo cut'
