I have been cutting my own hair for roughly 5 years now. I use a paid of Oster clippers w/ a couple of different guards. One hand holds the mirror, the other shaves away. I have a very steady hand and a good eye.

I have used da flowbee for the last 6-7 years. It's sooooo much easier and no darn hair down your back or face. Takes learning it properly but once you do it's da best and most convenient by far.

I made my own &quot;Flowbie&quot;. I use special show dog trimmer shears and a regular vacuum. I suck the hair sections straight into the hose and cut to length I want. Feels good too. Except the time I nearly sucked my eyeball out of it's socket.

LOL!! In the pic of the girl using the flowbee it looks like she is trying to look like a 40 year old half-bald guy. Hehehe, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE...

I go to the same barber shop that I've had EVERY SINGE haircut at. It'll be a sad day when the guy that owns that places dies, he's in his late 60's at least!

I think I've tried everything at one time or another... my entire family used to get a haircut from the same woman, she did a really good job and it's easier on the parents when all three kids get appointments on the same afternoon rather than scattered through a week or two. Then when I hit high school I had to try the Chia Pet look for a while, and my mom would clip it with a Norelco beard trimmer while I put my head over a big mixing bowl. When I grew it out again, I went to a new stylist on the recommendation of a few friends. He was definitely gay, but he did a better job cutting my hair than anyone else and it's not like he fondled my follicles or anything.
When I moved to school I found out that despite the fact that it's the best university on the planet, no one in town can give a decent haircut. I settled for a reasonable stylist and tried to time the haircuts with Thanksgiving and Christmas and other visits home, where I could get a cut from someone who knew what he was doing. But after he moved, I gave up on it and just started wearing hats the week after I had my hair butchered at school.
I suppose that when I start going bald (guaranteed to happen early, just like my grandfathers, uncles, and cousins) I won't be able to take it gracefully, and I'll just shave it all off. How's that Mach3 work for you? :)

I go to a place here called Tulsa Clippers. Very good looking women working there and the place has big screen TV's and an indoor basketball court to play on while you wait.

Oh...the girl, Suzanne, that cuts my hair does an excellent job AND is cute as hell.
