Shaving your own head

[ajthemackem]

You can feel if you've missed a bit. It's easy.

Been a few times I've got to the pub and realised I've missed a tiny patch on the back of my bracket like.
Once managed to miss a perfectly square bit like the bit of muck on the window in Father Ted.

I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require two people.

I only ask her coz she's there!

Just a main mirror and a hand mirror to check the back as you go, it's a piece of piss like. Just dinnit do it in a hurry.

A 1 all over? I thought you were supposedly a man of style.

£250 on a pair of jeans but shaving your own hair with some smartprice clippers?

He's got the fashion sense of a chav tbf.

9 times out of 10 you won't need a second person.

I just use a Wahl, once a week, with no attachment comb, and on the lowest setting.

If you miss a bit while shaving yer head, nobody will laugh or dare point out your mistake, because you'll look as hard as nails.

My brorher bought me one of these for Christmas, but I've not used it yet.
I'll wait until my trusty Wahl is knackered, and then try the Remington.

I was converted, usually use a Wahl super taper with .5m comb, but the remington is a lot quicker & tidier cut imo (especially if it's one length)

The Wahl tends to be a bit clunky for a self-shave I find like. I like the Phillips one.

The Remington has the wider and curved blade, which should save time when shaving the hair.
It also has a lot of attachment combs which are no use to me.
My Wahl is still going strong, so will continue to use it for the time being.

Used to do mine myself when I used to blast it all off in the summer.

Simple mate. When I'm finished, I get me better half to have a quick check over me napper, just to make sure I haven't missed any patches, but 9 times out of 10 it's fine.

Same here. Blade '0' all over myself & get the wife to give it a check & she finishes me off.

I love when she finishes me off.

I got a new haircut recently, similar to James Maddison’s.

 

[Fletch]

done mine for 20 years
was always Number 2 .. grow 6-8 weeks, repeat..
now its Number 3.. grow 6-8 weeks, repeat

Always go to the barbers mate, it sounds easy enough and it is after a few trys, but you don't want your clippers to pack in half way through a cut.

This happened to me before I started using a razor to do it. The clippers got stuck in me hair, so I had no option. Never used clippers since ( twenty odd years ago)

She doesn't. You must have me mistaken for someone else.

 

[Fletch]

worse is if the guard comes off and shave a chunk out bald... then have no choice but to do NO.1 all over

 

[Aldyyyy]

Bic mine every 2 days cos me hairline resembles mr burns off the Simpsons. Takes about 5 minutes doing it and a feel proper manly after.

I use clippers to do the whole lot on no1, and my beard on no2 - then get my wife to tidy up the back bit and do a straight line

..........so ...er............get a wife ??
