Cutting your own hair - Classic or Dud Man

I think the haircuts I've gotten from an expensive stylist over the past several years were my best ever, but that has ended, and nothing beats the satisfaction of just going over my head in every direction using a haircutting razor with a #3 standoff. I have to shave the scruff off the back of my neck in between cuts, but that was always the case

thinking of switching to doing this myself... do you have a recommendation for a razor to use?

mine is a Wahl, I bought it decades ago, not sure about new brands

ok thanks... i have a wahl beard trimmer which has been reliable.

I've been cutting my own hair since 1995, which was the last time someone else cut it. Shortly after that I remember walking past a barber's shop and seeing a sign that read 'Cheapest haircut in London - £5' and thinking "piss off, that's 3 pints!". My hair grows unevenly, quite fast, and is reasonably thick, so even when I was paying to get it cut I'd have to trim it myself after a couple of weeks. The key for me is to cut little and often. It's harder to make a mess of it if I'm only cutting off small bits at a time. Also I don't cut my hair when it's wet, because the strands dry back to different lengths so if my hair looks even wet it'll look uneven once it's dry.

I trim bare clippers every week and every few weeks disposable wet razor to the skin
