I do, but then again I have a buzzcut.

I don't know how Randal does it. He must use scissors with those golden locks. Quite a trick.

Substantial manual dexterity is required, I assure you.
 
I cut mine and I have shoulder-length hair, (well, sometimes I cut it chin length.) It's really not difficult to cut your own hair.
 
Same barber for 37 years (off and on when I've lived here). He's an octogenarian now. Steady hands. Straight razors the back of the neck and ears. Come out smelling the exact way as when I was 13. Nostalgia. $12.
 
2010, 2005, 2002 as I recall. buzzed it clean each time.

This time I might let it go full neckbeard wizard long.

Same hair stylist for the past 10 years, $12 with pretty much the same hair cut with varying degrees of shortness.

I used go have long hair, hippy style...

But since I have it short, it just pisses me off to pay somebody double-digits to spend 3 minutes buzzing it.

It takes about an hour for the cut then one shampoo and two conditioners.

I haven't been to a barber in 20 years.I cut my own hair,what's left of it,with scissors once every year or so and I don't use a mirror.

Somebody standing behind me in the checkout line at the grocery store probably thinks -
"Wow,that dude cuts his own hair with scissors and he doesn't use a mirror."

EDIT:

I see why this shouldn't be in the main Rand forum, but it doesn't really belong here in Spin, Chafe, and Flak either - it is, if anything, supportive of our self-styling candidate.

Perhaps we need a "Nonsensical Bullshit" sub-forum.

The Vent? or Hot topics?

Cuz this is the shit that makes us look really cultish.
 
I had a cut-my-own-hair phase a few years ago. Screwed it up so bad at one point that I just shaved it all off and went bald for a while (not bad at all in the summer heat, actually). Then a neighbor who was an excellent haircutter rescued me.
 
I get a haircut and beard trim only for court. (Custody battle ongoing)

I pay for too.

Otherwise I trim the rough edges myself with 10" Wiss shears or 'lectric clippers.
 
I'm currently trying to figure out how to best do it by watching the self barbering YouTube videos. Kinda interesting stuff.
