Lockdown haircuts

#1

Post by Tricky Dicky »

When SWAMBO started chemo we bought a hair trimmer so I could take off the remainder of her hair. Today she returned the favour after my hair started to become bouffant So far no bald patches just a little uneven on top although she declined to hold the mirror up so that i could see round the back hmmmm?

Maybe staying away from mirrors for a few days might be a wise move :lol:

Ha ha, pictures Richard! Ive stopped shaving, told the missus that all the razors are as rare as toilet rolls. Frighten myself every time I look in the mirror!

Hi TWD
I gave up shaving in the summer of 1972 - I've got used to avoiding tripping over it!!!
Seriously, I went to get a haircut on the last Saturday before lockdown and instead of my normal 6 grade, hair (whats left of it) 2 grade beard, grade 1 the top, I got the young lady to do a 421 instead, plus eyebrows. Should we still be lockdown when I need a haircut it will be the trusty beard trimmer on the top
:lol:

Self-applied no.2 all over.

I have very little on top - so I often give it a run over with the clippers - usually No.2 or 3. I was told yesterday there was fluff (?) growing on my neck - sounds like a No1? Without getting contentious, I did read the other day that hairdressers and barbers were the last place you should visit under the current situation.

Heather has cut my hair here inFrance for last 18 years. She goes to a Salon in the village. Gents haircutting is expensive here, so we bought a machine. I have always had a beard, so not a problem.
