I have gone Thomas Shelby, peaky blinders and loving it, used 2 mirrors and a bit of patience. with the misses tidying up the messy bits.
If it's a 3 month lockdown whats your choice? Shave it, buzz cut or caveman.
 
shave it. have done for a few years now. it was getting thinner and thinner on top.

the problem is, with working from home, the motivation to bother shaving.
 
This is a serious problem!
I normally have my hair cut every 4 weeks. Flat top. Not many hairdressers can do it. Some don't even know what one is. I'm not exactly trendy.

I'll be due in about 10 days, but my (old-time) barber is closed (I assume, anyway, they were all ordered to close).
So I have looming problem! Lose my stud-like, Hollywood locks, entirely, or begin to look like a tramp. Neither option is appealing :(
 
I was thinking about trying the fire treatment.

Flat top.(

Watered down PVA in hair, brush up right until set or use hot air gun to speed it up, bend upper body parallel to ground and walk towards switched on linisher, stop when head hits belt or 1/2 inch before prefferably. Jobs a good'n.

That ones free steve any other handy hints are £2 each :D
 
It’ll be a buzz cut for me. I’ve offered my boys to choose anything they like and I’ll try to do it. Mohawk, green stripes, anything, they’re off school for the duration might as well make it fun.

Plenty of time to devise a bandsaw jig to do it :D
 
Grade 1 to what little is left of my hair, been doing it myself for years, just need a mirror to check the back.
Only downside to having it so short is that I need to cut it every 2-3 weeks.
 
Same as many of you. Own a pair of clippers, wife shaves my head and trims my beard, just after she's run me through the sheep dip.

Well I have managed to find a very helpful lady who has a big radiation machine and she happy to become my barber for the next 6 months. :p
 
As I said somewhere else mine's going to have to be a pony tail and still thinking about the beard to go with it, 6 weeks now since my last cut so........

I had wondered if that stuff you can buy to stop grass and hedges growing would work on hair - no I don't mean weed killer! :lol:

Me too!

I'll be OK as long as I can stop birds nesting in it. Barber will earn his tip when normal service is resumed, though ...
