    I've been trimming my own beard and cutting my own nails but my hair is growing out of control. I'm on the edge of taking the trimmer with a no.1 to my head. :mad::mad::mad:

    My clipper wouldn’t cut my overgrown mop, so I took my beard trimmer and it cut it like warm butter. Crazy short also, I usually get a #1 and this was shorter.

    Why not just become a long hair like back in the 70s?

    I use clippers with no guard. I haven't paid for a haircut since 1999. @Mikie goes one step closer with the full shave. I prefer a little stubble on my noggin. :thumbsup:

    I'm pretty sure most male MTBers cut their own nails when there is no pandemic. Roadies might be another story.

    I clip with a No. 1 on the tight setting. Not that there’s much to clip. A far cry from my long-hair Jr. High days.
    I like stubble over a clean shave, and clippers are cheaper than razor blades.
    It’s freeing to have all your hair gone, no time needed for styling. A helmet liner to avoid weird sunburns is key though. :D

    FWIW - it’s worth spending the extra $$$ for Wahl clippers.

    Just by chance I got a haircut the week before the shut down so I am good there for a few more weeks. Can't say that I have ever had a manicure, pedicure, botox injection or beard trim though so no worries there.

    Haha, great topic.

    No impact here. I’m a graduate of the UPSed hairstyling school and I have new woodworking tools for my toenails.

    The last time I paid for someone to cut my hair was the 24th of November 2005. #1 comb and a pair of clippers ever since :thumbsup:

    I wanted to do the same to the kids on the weekend but wivey said hell no. So I got one kid to practise on with the scissors and she got the other. Mine came out looking alright for a first timer. We aren't talking about what she did to the toddler.

    What do you guys pay for a cut and how often do you usually go?

    I know a hairdresser who owns the salon we go to and I am pretty sure that she is giving us a deal. I usually go every 3 weeks, sometimes 4 weeks and it's $17/cut for me and she does excellent work, too. I tip her well and she's a blast to mess with because she is foul mouthed like a dude. She's as dedicated to long hikes out in the remote areas as we are to riding so we chat about places I've ridden and she's hiked. She's a cool gal.
