6mm Asante: I gave myself my first buzzcut today * 9
    #27343059 - 06/10/21 12:39 PM (2 years, 9 months ago)

I like having my hair really short, and now that its gotten way too long with Covid lockdown, i decided it was time to scratch another one off the bucket list.

Weapon of choice, a Wahl Super Taper, the #1 barbershop choice.

I had never done it before, so I watched a bunch of videos seeing it done, its not rocket science.

I decided to go for a completely new start, a butch cut, 6mm all over.

It took a wghile to get the hang of it but its well trimmed all the way around now, and it has that super awesome brush feeling.

I didnt panic at the first pass when it looked like a 6yo had attacked my hair :rotfl: i knew that no matter what, i would apply the clipper flush, and there would come a time that nothing would be too long anymore, and nothing too short.

That moment came.

It was very fun to do.







Now lets hope people won't mistake me for a bigot :didnazithatcoming:

I think I see a few stragglers directly over your right ear that you missed. Or maybe it's something on the camera lens...

Ide really have to see it from before, but I think it looks good! I had hair like that before I started growing it again, and I would go back to that if I wasn't ever doing dreads.
Honestly I miss it sometimes. So cool, and free and clean lol. But I do love my hair.

Now grow out your facial hair, wear a trapper hat, and start smoking marlboro reds. Then you'll be ready for anything.

No you're right, I missed a spot, I'm gonna touch it up.


Just now the wound care lady dropped by with some supplies and she was the first to see it live, I just cut it, and she said it looked great and evenly done.

I wanted to do this all my life but was insecure about whether I could pull it off and whether it would look good.

I'm no longer insecure :smile2:


I can highly recommend the Wahl Super Taper now btw, its a beast, I think you could sheer a flock of sheep with it :rotfl:

Word.

I love the feeling of having shaved head.  I cut my own hair, and I gotta shave it all off sometimes when I screw up...it's refreshing.

I have some Wahl clippers I got a long ass time ago, but they're starting to act up.  I'll look into those...

That thing is heavy duty. I think it was made for sheep man.

Actually its the #1 choice of barbers here, literally every barber shop i was a customer at used them, either in thois version or the chrome one.

it IS very heavy duty, the thing literally weighs a pound. Its a professional clipper.

Likewise I use a Merkur 34C razor, also a pro favorite.

Gotta love a Kai Shun chef knife in your kitchen.

One thing I learned: buy rarely but when you buy, buy *quality*. Quality items last decades and all that time you are wielding the best :rockon:

Maybe new blades?


By the way 6mm, the length, is a #2 clipper length of 1/4 inch.
Here's what the clipper numbers are and how they look on a head

I'm sure it's a combination of different things.

The motor seems to be fading in and out at times, and the blades don't align very well like a screw fell out or something... I've neglected to give it routine maintenance over the years though... it's probably clogged up with hair inside.

I've had it for over 10 years...I might take it apart, and see what I can find.

I'd say it looks decent on you but IMHO your previous hairstyle looked better.

If you're doing it yourself it's basically a must that you go over it a few times. First pass never gets it all. I do this every month or two, maybe 3 weeks in the summer. Nice cool breeze on the noggin

Most first wave skinheads used a No. 2 or No. 3 grade clip guard cut (short, but not bald). From the late 1970s, male skinheads typically shaved their heads with a No. 2 grade clip or shorter.

Went many a year (~20 onwards) without cutting my hair at all - until it was halfway down my back - and many a year doing exactly what you're doing now Asante; #3 all over.

I definitely prefer the 'fresh' feeling that comes from cutting 1x per week, even if I do occasionally miss my long locks (especially when tripping).

I started going to barbershops again at 33 when I had to start visiting client sites, and have come to like that the most though.

A good barber knows how to leave you feeling the freshest, and all your lines will always be the best.

I literally just walked in from the barber and sat and opened this thread first.

So I took a pic of the result for you:

*NO QOUTES PLS*

Long story short, I say go with it - just remember to overkill it to catch the strays and to run your non-razor holding hand around your pate too. Can do it without even needing a mirror.

I'm disappointed.  I though it was going to be a shot of your balls.

Looks great, though, for not being balls.
