Shaving head, need advice
#21769481 - 06/06/15 08:56 AM (8 years, 7 months ago) |

I have 2 options:
1. Have my head shaved with a clipper/machine on "0" 4 times a month, 5 quid a cut, 20 quid a month
or
2. Have my head shaved with a razor, 2 times a month, which cost 10 quid a time, but still comes down to 20 quid all the same.
What gives?

Invalid poll. Also just buy a set of clippers/razor and do it yourself.

I recommend buying your own clippers for cheap. Put them on zero and buzz up.
It's easy and totally affordable.

I cut my own hair.
I'm not paying 50 dollars for a nice haircut, and I'm not paying 8 dollars for a fantastic Sams fuck up to ruin my hair.
I learned how to cut hair in jail lol. If you're going to shave long term, just cut it yourself, it'll be cheaper in the long run. If you're just doing it for your current style then fuck it.

Just buy your own clippers shave with the clippers . Then go back back the next day or two and shave with a safety razor.

With a guard in a razor it's practically impossible to fuck up. If you can shave tour face you can shave your head. Cutting it to even lengths with scissors is hard but razors do all the work now a days.

Get a cat. Shave the cat.
Then shave your balls. Then shave the cats balls.
This is how you get a cosmetology license, I know, I've been to a fantastic Sams.
To be honest the best practice would be to actually shave.
A razor guard is the little plastic piece on the end if electric clippers that regulate how short it cuts your hair. Basically you use a one inch guard and as long as you only shave one direction all the hairs will be one inch.
You can just Bic your hair or Gillette of whatever you wish, but it's going to hurt like a mother fucker and pull your hair out if you don't buzzcut it first.

That's just a Gillette razor with a silly handle... This is a clipper guard. It's not on the regular shaving razors, it's on clippers.

If you want to use a regular razor I highly advise you shave it down to a solid buzzcut with some clippers, and then shave it with a standard Bic razor, if you want mister clean chrome dome. Otherwise just get a nice pair of clippers.
I have a cheap ass Wahl clipper that hasn't failed me yet.
Literally fifteen bucks bucks at a target. http://m.target.com/p/wahl-color-pro-hair-clipper-kit/-/A-10430017?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=10430017&CPNG=Health+Beauty&kpid=10430017&LID=17pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=10430017&kpid=10430017&gclid=CjwKEAjwtMqrBRDwtoehx72vm34SJACl_Un1GYmyVohW3IXMRiyT3sSknjoaMHwTRh88UNl3oOjeSRoCyLvw_wcB

Why would you pay someone to use clippers on a 0? Just run them over your head. Simple as can be.

Use clippers isn't shaving. Very closely cut hair is not a shaved head. A shaved head is shiny and at most has stubble growing back from being the hair being completely removed at the skin with a razor. A shaved head on a man looks like a circumcised dick running around with a face on it. It also looks like an insecure man who cares too much about his hairline.

No he doesn't. He looks like he'd say "bro" every other word, of which he only speaks seven different ones before finding himself confused. Doing gym math is as advanced as he can handle. That's the Vin Diesel look.

A quid is worth about a quarter of a serving of poutine or a cup of maple syrup. If you are Rob Ford then it's about 5 minutes worth of crack

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I know its probably been said already but just buy a set of clippers.
I havent been to a barber in 10 years.
The set of Wahl clippers that i bought only cost 12$.
Around here, thats cheaper than a haircut from a barber.
Using a razor blade on your head sucks. especially if you have any moles or any other bumps on your scalp. its really easy to cut yourself. Plus if you want the shaved look, you need to shave at least 2 or 3 times a week
