You must be a pretty bad haircutter then. I've always done mine and it seems
to be acceptable, however this weather I'm going to let it grow for a while.
The trick is layering and careful use of the electric clippers, IE don't
just go to a line and stop.
Always combed every so often to look at straggly bits and do not worry too
much about the carrot top effect you can retrain hair if you use a little
dampness when combing it.

Remember I am blind so do it more or less by feel.

In fact even when I could see, looking is not that easy to do, so learning
what is right for your hair a bit at a time is the best approach.
Of course I'm talking no frills here, if you want a style then go to a
pro.

I've got enough of a clue to be able to do a DIY haircut that is fine.

Yes, I have been doing mine with clippers for years, although admit
there is nothing on top to cut, and what is there, I just wear short.
Run the clippers over once a week, job done. No need for a comb or
hairbrush these days.

He uses them in his hobby of Escapology, where he lies his way out of those bags after he's wet them.

Nope. I use a normal hair trimmer and don’t even use the plastic
snap on combs, do a super short cut. Much easier to do and you
can feel the bits you have missed from the length of the hair.

Can be a bit cool in the winter tho.

Yeah, I prefer it so short I don't have to do anything after a
shower, just dry it with the towel. I wash the hair every shower.

Run the clippers over once a week, job done.

I don't do it anything like that frequently. Havent
recorded it but it must be every few months.

No need for a comb or hairbrush these days.

Yeah, don't bother with a comb at all anymore
and havent owned a hairbrush for more than
60 years and never used one even then.

Why? Are you so vain? Just go to a barber and get it repaired if you
have made that much of a tube of it. I promise very few people will
actually notice your hair, it is much more important to you than to
others (as long as it is not shaved on one side Uriah Heap on the other)

I always cut my own hair .
Just do a No1 all over, with trimmers. Well I am balding and 55 so I
don't really care if I muck it up, but with a pair of clippers taking it
that close there is not much that can go wrong

The clippers can die when you have done 30%

You can always count on at least one weirdo with an anorak and terrible
BO to turn up at every rally.
