Coronavirus Haircuts

I have microphone head but promised my other half I wouldn't shave it all off again and grow it out, except it was messy round ears with hair growing over so I decided to try and fade in from grade 1 to 2 then the approx 4 it is on top at moment. Looks easy when barbers do it. Fucked it so I have two very clear lines round circumference of my head now. Fuck it.
 
Definitely starting to look a bit 'on the register'. Need to get it cut soon ffs.

I'm getting a straight-hair afro, so it needs cutting. Can anyone recommend me some good clippers that I can get online (not Amazon), please?
 
If you have thick hair, be wary of non-studio clippers - i once overheated some cos the blades couldn't take it. I was young then though and had a much thicker head of hair. but it was enough to put me off doing it myself permanenly - just go wild or be prepared to look like a Bedlam inmate
 
Looking at hair clippers online with a view to buying some I have found that a No 2 which I have normally isn't necessarily 2mm hair length. It seems a No 2 might be 1/4 inch .. The clippers I am looking at don't seem to have a No 2 setting, rather I have to work out the setting in mm and then adjust both the blade height and comb used. grr
 
There don't seem to be any Wahl on Amazon, 7dayshop and Argos have sold out. Probably going to take a punt on an unknown brand.

Looking forward to the photos...

Incidentally, I note that they do appear to have plenty of items on their own website.

That way, you get a decent pair of clippers AND fail to prop up an exploitative scumsucking megacorp that treats all its people like shit. Win/win.

All Wahls are sold out on shavers.co.uk. Is Braun at all comparable?

Note my hair is very thick, and straight.
 
No photos for you, but I've had no haircut since the start of December :eek:

I never go more than twice or at most thrice a year anyway, mostly to a Turkish chap called Atilla who barely talks :cool:

But by now, with his shop and all 100 other barber places in Swansea** closed, my fringe has been dropping so much into my eyes :mad: that festivaldeb insisted on trimming me today -- just the fringe!

TBF she's no hairdresser, but she did a good quick and basic job :)

**Not that much of an exaggeration-- so many new ones have opened recently, and in normal times they always seem to be full -- do straights (man! :p ) get their cut once a week or something? :confused:

Re clippers, I have a pair of visiq clippers, had them for 5+ years, used every 1-2 weeks and were quite cheap. Think I got them from Argos.
 
I've had a set of rechargeable Philips clippers about 5 years now, done a bi weekly haircut ever since and still work like new. You can wash the blades with water and don't need to lubricate which makes things easier too.

Definitely doing a mohawk next time having seen mx wcfc 's!
