    The only time I pay for a haircut is if I feel the urge to get a straight razor shave on my dome or if I screwed up my beard and need a trim.

    I got my wife to pass the number 4 all over. No fade, no edge up. Looks clean enough. Just a Rona cut.

    I have mild receding, pretty good for being in my 40s but I hate having hair in the Summers here so 10 years ago I decided to buzz it with a 1. The lady who had cut my hair since I was 14 said she'd never see me again and I lold.

    I've never seen her again. I absolutely love a close shaved head and thankfully I was born with a normal dome. I shave it once a week. Short showers, so much cooler for sleep, no more twice a month $50 salon visits and after a few trims you learn how to cut behind the ears and neck with ease. So glad I did it and although my hair wants to grow thick I stop that ****.

    Good on you my clutchbro!

    I do a 7 up top, on the sides and back I fade up from a 1 to a 2 and finally a 3 at the top. Easy stuff. Sometimes I hit the edges in the back with a 0 after my wife cleans up my neck.

    For reference, each number is 1/8th of an inch.

    If I didn’t have a day job, I would probably grow a rat tail and dye my hair blue.

    I recall from seeing a photo of you posted some years back at a ClutchFans get together (perhaps someone could post it?) that you have or had a full head of hair. Quite impressive. If you still have it, I’m jealous. Little remains of the very long wavy mane I once possessed. Sorry about your salon. I last got what little I have left cut about 2 weeks ago by a lovely lady we’ve been using for years. Probably the last cut for months. Oh, the sacrifices we must make to live!

    Time to check in with y'all. I got lucky with a March 14 cut right before everything shut down here. Even that felt risky.

    Ima just gonna grow it out. I just can't imagine (until a vaccine?) when we're going to let public barbers/stylists near our heads. Can you imagine a more infectious job? You gotta feel sorry for them.

    I've got the clippers ready in a pinch and did cut my own hair (like @LonghornFan style) for many years.

    Wife trimmed my sides by the ears and the rapidly growing mullet last week.Looks a little better, but still my head looks like a giant mushroom. Haven't had a haircut since December.

    I have some clippers but only one size guard (smallest one) and when I tried to buy some on Amazon, they're all sold out. Lot's of guys cutting their own hair, I guess.

    I gotta big melon, so normal baseball caps just don't work for me. Never really felt like getting fitted ones, so I just don't wear hats. Had to break down and buy a few 7 7/8s. Still pissed at B.O.B, so instead of Texans, I bought Saints.
