Not Cutting My Own Hair

Not cutting my own hair

A while back I was bloging my experiences and adventures as I embarked on the project of cutting my own hair. Now, a new idea, Now I am NOT cutting my own hair. I am to blog my adventures in NOT cutting y own hair… and no one else is either. I am to try to grow it out a bit… something I have never done successfully in the past. Let’s see how far I get. Let’s see how it might look. I will have some pics shot along the way. First pic tomorrow. My wife and others will be engaged to clean up my neckline along the way, but that is it. Oh yeah, and I will also taper the front corners at the sideburns a little bit too, hey, got to look human at the very least.

Clipper Tip # 35

This is Andis / Ivan Zoot clipper tip number 35. I love this one. This is both a trimmer tip as well as an efficiency tip. I just spoke about this in a class last week. This one can make a big difference in your clipper cutting timing.

Tip 35 -Trim Early – Do not wait until the last stages of the haircut to trim and detail the hairline. By trimming early you get a better look at how the finished cut is shaping up.

Video series you should see

Pointed out to me by our Friend from north U.K. Barber Phil...
This is a barbering series on YouTube. A little slow for my brain speed, but interesting, and just good stuff.
Have a look at this one here as well as the others he has posted. This is the way ppl share information today. Nice, fast, fun, FREE and if it is not what you are looking for.. just a click and it is gone.
