Shave it all off. people will think you're having chemo.

You must be a pretty bad haircutter then. I've always done mine and it seems to be acceptable, however this weather I'm going to let it grow for a while. The trick is layering and careful use of the electric clippers, IE don't just go to a line and stop. Always combed every so often to look at straggly bits and do not worry too much about the carrot top effect you can retrain hair if you use a little dampness when combing it.

Remember I am blind so do it more or less by feel.

In fact even when I could see, looking is not that easy to do, so learning what is right for your hair a bit at a time is the best approach. Of course I'm talking no frills here, if you want a style then go to a pro. Brian

Or doing it for charity and give you a donation. Don't forget your collection tin. Brian

Yes, I have been doing mine with clippers for years, although admit there is nothing on top to cut, and what is there, I just wear short. Run the clippers over once a week, job done. No need for a comb or hairbrush these days.

Why? Are you so vain? Just go to a barber and get it repaired if you have made that much of a tube of it. I promise very few people will actually notice your hair, it is much more important to you than to others (as long as it is not shaved on one side Uriah Heap on the other)

I always cut my own hair . Just do a No1 all over, with trimmers. Well I am balding and 55 so I don't really care if I muck it up, but with a pair of clippers taking it that close there is not much that can go wrong

Oh, I don't know. They will, after all, be pointing and laughing.

If he wears any badge or patch that identifies him as being involved with Amateur Radio they will just think his haircut is part of the normal "uniform" of weirdness and social dysfunction that seems afflict many in that hobby. Train spotters with microphones.
