I bought a hair clipper today and am now doing my husband's haircuts

He always gets the longish buzzcut anyhow.

I paid $18 for the clipper (which has 9 different 'lengths'). I figure after two haircuts (he goes to the cheap haircut places) we will have more than paid for the clippers!

1. I did that in PHX for years

:hi:

2. I did a pretty good job for a first timer.

Only had to fix 3 minor things!

This ought to save us around 20 bucks a month.

3. I cut my husbands hair for 45 years, it is amazing how quickly

you get the hang of it. I had a special pair of scissors with a tape on them saying for "haircut only". He would usually grab the first pair he came to when he needed scissors but to do hair, you really need sharp ones. I used the trim attachment on his electric shaver for the lower part of the back of his neck.

Good luck with the clippers, it won't take long to learn how to be an expert.

Beats $20.00 or more plus a tip. Good investment!

4. The really cool thing about the clipper is it was made in the USA!

I was surprised.

5. I cut my ex's hair

and I imagine one of the things that shocked him when I left was how much it was going to cost him to get somebody else to do it.

6. You are a stronger woman than I

and surely more skilled. I won't go there, kudos to you.
