Do you trust your wife/ partner to cut your hair??
Been in lock down long enough to acknowledge I need a haircut ( not that there's much left...)
Have any members had success letting their wife/ partner cut their hair?
(I did suggest I get to cut her hair also!!)
Takes me back to the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. Samson's great strength was derived from his long hair. His lover Delilah cut his hair and turned him over to the Philistines.
Then there is Alex's post about Buckethead, which had me remembering that my wife and I once used an orange mixing bowl to cut my son's hair. The Prince Valiant look.
Of course my then wife is now my Ex (After 32 years), there is no way I would trust her. Glad so many folks can stick it out but it was killing me.
My wife has cut my hair for many years now, well, at least what is left of it as I'm bald so it is just a matter of getting the WAHL out for a quick run over. I could probably do it myself but there is nothing like spending quality time with one's partner I have on many occasions offered to cut my wife's hair but is always met with a thanks but no thanks, she is such a polite person. Coming up for 45 years of marriage soon
As my hair was getting too long, I bought the cordless Philips Series 5000 Hair Clipper from Myers on-line for $60 (less a voucher my wife had) - it has two clipping combs, one adjusts from 3mm to 15mm, the other 16mm to 28mm length.
I put the setting to 15mm and told my wife to only do the parts I couldn't see at that setting, and I'd do the rest with it and with scissors.
Done this way, no trust was involved, she wasn't stressed, and I was solely responsible for any dud result. Anyhow, it turned out okay though slightly shorter than usual. Next time I'll use the 18 to 20mm setting.

Why this unhealthy preoccupation with cutting hair?
It grows to a certain length and finds a particular style without you doing a thing.
I posted this in the "post a photo of yourself" to encourage activity there but I post it again here...now look it looks natural and just like everyone else at the Drake Pub..what more can you ask. And you probably won't believe this but in the photo it wasn't combed I just moved it our of my eyes is all.

Thanks for all the interesting (!!) contributions.
If I had 6mm of hair to play with I'd be happy
The comb over is not a good look - remember Garry McDonald!
I used to have a beard - for twenty years...now just a "Walrus Mo"
