During covid when all the barbers were shut down I bought some clippers and barber scissors. The hair came out a little rough at first but with every hair cut I got better. I use to go the barber every 3-4 weeks. Now I do a better job than the hack barbers in my town. I still haven't mastered the fade but the hair cuts I give myself are pretty damn good. I learned it's not rocket science. Takes around ten minutes. I always have a fresh hair cut every three weeks.
On a side note when guys get old they suddenly don't give a damn. They let hair grow out of their nose and ears. The eye brows especially look like they are trying to repel women. Their hair is also fucked up. I vowed to never get that old man unkempt look.
