Coronavirus Haircuts

I don't fancy the barber atm, frankly, and about the only advantage of male-pattern baldness is that I can do self-inflicted haircuts. I've found my old clippers still work and I've not yet noticed anyone laughing at the results so I'm sticking with it for now. It's free anyway. Now all I need is to pluck up the courage to do something about my increasingly Denis Healey eyebrows.

I used my clippers on my eyebrows, set to 12mm first try, closer on a second attempt. Mind you I tend to have long rather than thick eyebrows. Did the trick though, carefully does it.

FFS, all you need for eyebrows is some small scissors! I wouldn't want to be waiving my clippers around anywhere near them.I used my clippers on my eyebrows, set to 12mm first try, closer on a second attempt.

(nasal hair trimmers are good for eyebrows too)

I run mine over with a #2. Nobody's commented yet.

Can you get the insides of your ears and nostrils waxed? Getting fed up of the constant weeding of growths

Pain is so close to pleasure

some pain is. other pain isn't. take toothache, that's quite a long way from pleasure. or waxing your nose or ears, a good long journey from pleasure.

I quite enjoy yanking nose hairs out several at a time. Ear hair is too painful though

Oh I think it has some legs yet past 4 July: namely ‘I can’t find anywhere that’ll take me until August’ kind of posts. A hairdresser was being interviewed today for the news and he said he had 2,500 appointments booked

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I don’t know, but if you can and you do please video it...

Was he a hairdresser or a barber? If the latter they can buzz through a lot of us pretty quickly, especially if we're just asking for a better job of what we've done during lockdown.

Can’t remember, but either way that’s a lot of bookings, and most barber shops tend to be smaller businesses with 4-6 chairs tops. At a rate of 100 jobs a day, which few barbers are likely to surpass, you’re still talking of a calendar month’s worth of appointments before they can see anyone else, never mind any additional bookings they will certainly get in the meantime.
And for smaller barbers, or most hairdressers where 50-60 jobs a day is a more likely yield, that’s a two-month waiting list for folk without a booking.

I just run the clippers over them on a grade 4.

take me to the feeling
I know right? And I’m working class as well! Wtf?!!!
hopefully not to be too creepy, but y'know, I would. You probably wouldn't though since I have given myself a truly tragic lockdown haircut and now must wear a balaclava for ever more.

You can buy eyebrow kits to do them at home. The scissors are very delicate and they're at an angle, so much easier to use than scissors not especially made for that purpose.
Ears would be horribly dangerous but I know some barbers do noses because a friend of mine had it done and claimed it was the most painful thing he'd ever experienced. Wuss.

it's not too bad yanking out a few at a time, but I imagine it would be quite painful all at once. And yes, probably not a good idea with ears - the skin on them is so soft. My earlobes are covered in very fine hair - they feel like antler velvet

Don't barbers still use the flaming meths soaked cotton bud to remove ear hair?

Not something I would have experience of. I'm just sure that pouring hot wax down your ear would be a very very bad idea and know that nose hair waxing is apparently a thing. Apparently it does leave you feeling really clean.

I’ve only had the flaming earhair burn off once and it hurt like fuck. Never again.

happy mew year
one near me does (assume he's fairly good as there's usually quite a wait there so haven't been there for a while) - he seemed to manage without setting me on fire
i am pissed off with the coronavirus scruff look. it's too hot to have hair this long...

Mine's got to about a grade 2 and could do with trimming. If it stays this hot I may have to shave it all off as I can't stand it hot.
