I managed to get a haircut in the day before close down. Expecting the worst I had a fair amount more than usual taken off the top so although I have a haircut every three weeks it's just about ok.... the overdue eyebrow trim is another matter  |

I was 2 weeks before lockdown, almost at the "shall I have a crack myself" stage. There's a bloke at work who's quite deft with a Stanley Knife but I'm not at that stage yet.

Wife suggested she could cut mine but I'm fucked if I'm letting her near me with a sharp implement. I've had a nose and eyebrow trimmer for ages and is on the essential item I keep near at all times

Bought clippers, i was brave enough to let the wife have a go. I gave her a C+ for her first go. She didn't do too bad a job. I was thinking the worse though seeing what she's done in the past with our Westie.

My wife's cut my hair for several years now without any mishaps (so far). I like it short anyway so it's a pretty easy routine, all over number two with clippers and then she tidies up around the edges with scissors.
I bravely offered to cut her hair but she's waiting till she can go to her usual hairdresser - she hasn't had it cut now since mid February and she's tempted to do it herself if the lockdown goes on much longer.

I'm just wondering how long it'll be until the usual TV broadcasters rock up looking like Neanderthals on a bad day, then I will have a bloody good laugh. Bless their cotton socks, not even allowed to go into make up before appearing live on our screens. 😄

I've been "clipping" my own hair for over 20years so no issues at all. No guard lowest setting all off....

Brave yes in the way kamikaze pilots were brave and will probably result in a similar outcome for you in certain aspects of your married life for a number of days....... |

I knew what the answer would be when I offered - it was funny to see her reaction though  |

At this rate they're all going to look like Slade in the 1970s All together, now……. oh, btw, did Noddy Holder ever wear our #7 shirt around that time?  |

Can't wait till you need her to take your temperature.  |

I've been using the beard trimmer on my electric shaver to stop my hair going over my ears, but there's only so long I can keep that one up. The wife's threatened me with a pudding basin, but I'm thinking of doing it myself and end up with a Lionel Blair haircut.

My lunatic ex missus used to fancy herself as a hair dresser and got offended when I politely declined her offers to cut it... so one time I took her up on the offer. I came out looking like a cross between Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber and a Lego head that you'd find in your kids play pen. Suffice to say, it's getting long and no fucker is touching it unless it's to bic it... which I'm considering at this point.
As long hair, I've recently been sporting the greasy wannabe cultured defensive midfielder look. Found some old tubs of Brylcreem. You know the drill.

I usually like a well cropped short back and sides. Now growing out obviously, and I now look like Terry Cooper in the 1970 World Cup.
