After growing my beard out for maybe 5-6 years, trimming it myself and generally keeping it looking “reasonable” I thought I’d treat myself and go get it trimmed by a “professional” first thing before a day full of webex meetings.
Now admittedly it was maybe a bit What year is it?, but it was well taken care of. Wee dude even commented on how it was one of the softest he’d cut.
Then he fucking trimmed it to fuck, into a big sorcerers point while I just sat there aghast. Absolutely scunnered.
The funniest thing was because my hairs been thinning since I was in my 20s I finally started shaving my head as well as my beard during lockdown - my wife said she’d do it for me but all we had were my beard trimmers and she was bottling out in case she messed it up
I said don’t worry, just shave everything off, nothing to it, I’ll get some proper trimmers later but I look like cadfael like this - there’s literally nothing to mess up. But she was like listen I could use imac on it! I said no I don’t want to look like a boiled egg just let me do it…
Anyway, instead of buying clippers to do it myself my dad gave me some he bought but hadn’t used because he was too worried about using them on himself.
DIY all the way
