The boys each got their first haircut around a year old. Since that was a scrapbook moment, we took them to a barber shop. From then on, because of time and my frugality, they received their haircuts from me.
I have extremely short hair. I do not think my hair has been over a quarter inch long in the last two years. I cut my hair every week down to an eighth of an inch. I cut my own hair and the boys usually enjoy watching. I have a nice set of clippers (thanks to my Mom) along with just about every accoutrement a non-barber could own.
I got my clippers out this morning to give my face fuzz a quick trim. I was running a little behind schedule and did not put them away. You can see where this is leading …
Early this morning, Beth thought the boys were being a little too quiet and decided to go upstairs. She discovered Tony sitting patiently while RJ cut his hair. I think that is an excellent haircut coming from a four year old.
Oh man that is funny. out of curiosity what grade do you use and what clippers? The clippers we use have been rubbish and we’ve not found a decent pair that will cut well for more than 3 or 4 cuts – so much so that my wife refuses to cut my hair and I have to do it myself (which gets hard at the back)
I have used several kinds of clippers over the years and found the best clippers are Wahl. The last pair of Wahl clippers lasted me around six years, or around 500 haircuts. The kit I currently have can be found here.
