I had to break down and buy some clippers a year and a half ago when I
couldn't get into a barber shop 2 days running. (snowbird town and I went
to all the shops)

I was cutting with the 1/4 inch guard to start with. Now I just shear my
head with no guard.
I have to do it 3 times in the summer. Even a half inch of hair is great
insulation and that is NOT needed in the Florida steam.

Esquire magazine had an article a while back concerning the subject. The
line I remember was, "It's just like mowing your lawn, except you do half
of it blindfolded".

Like Sheldon, mine grows back fast and I really don't give a shit what
people think.

On the upside, my Uncle pays me $6 a pop to cut his hair, so the clippers
have more than paid for themselves.
