Coronavirus Haircuts

weltweit Oh, one thing to bear in mind: The power connector is one of the two-prong shaver kind. You'll need an adaptor if you don't have a shaver outlet in the house.

Yes, thanks for the tip, I bought an adaptor when I bought the earlier shaver so I should be ok. I was trying to dot all the i's etc and didn't have a shaver point, they didn't exactly warn about it though.
 
Btw the only think wrong with cheap clippers is they won't last anywhere near as long as "good" clippers will. That doesn't matter at all if it's only a short term thing.

Ours would have been cheap when we bought them cos we're cheapskates, (I CBA to go downstairs to check the make), Mr loo has been using the same ones for over 10 years, never had his hair cut with anything else.
 
Oh and get dog grooming clippers, they work the same way, if you can't find human ones.

I bought a thermometer from a vet supply company when you couldn't get one anywhere, they're the same too.
 
One of the no brand Amazon sets included a what do you call it that apron that hairdressers put over you when they cut your hair .. not an apron really .. can't think of the right name .. seemed like a clever thing to add to the kit. I still have no idea where I am going to cut my hair, probably in the shower? :)

Do it before a shower
 
Gave myself a trim this afternoon with the help of a youtube video and...I think it looks alright. Proof will be in the washing tomorrow, of course.
 
Ah, 2020. The unwanted gift that insists on giving.

Coronavirus lockdown breakers: 'We got a dirty look and I called it to an end'

Nine per cent of people in the UK are "resisting" the lockdown rules, though some are regretting it.

Mum is in touch with this underground network of hairdressers who have been working from home.

We drove to a nearby city. We parked down the road and just knocked on the door.

I'd never met the hairdresser before. She was in her 20s and had everything set up in her kitchen: all the proper utensils and a mirror from her bedroom propped up against the table. She said she needed the money. She had just started her own business so couldn't be furloughed and had fallen through the cracks

Underground network of hairdressers :D :D

I do feel for the hairdresser(s), but Jesus fucking Christ, the reporting!!

I got this Braun set Braun MGK3245 Beard Trimmer & Hair Clipper Grooming Kit which I'm very pleased with. It dealt with my unruly mop effortlessly, and it'll pay for itself in like 5 months.

I got one of those too. Although it failed to say on the box:

“Warning, if you have son who is normally quite switched on, but doesn’t always pay close attention and doesn’t have a huge amount of mechanical aptitude, ensure that he knows the difference between the on/off switch and the fairly unique button which changes the length and functions perfectly well mid cut, then brief him correctly BEFORE he does the back of your head.”

I firmly, and personally, believe such a warning should be in place.

I wonder why you feel particularly that such a specific warning is necessary? :hmm::D

Top tip. Don't let anyone else cut your hair.

The End.
