I'm going to get my hair cut

What kind of clippers?

Just had to go and have a look - Nicky Clarke Extreme. With #2 attachment.

Do you have to cut your hair really short for them to work well?

Well I guess that number 2 all over would count as pretty short, so yes ?
They work fine but you have to clean and oil them before and after each use.

Can you convert #2 to metric? Is that millimeters perchance? In which case that is a tad short for my liking. A centimeter or so would be about right, but for all I know doing that all over would look weird.

No its not millimeters, its a standard for clipper attachments - maybe about half a centimeter.

Can you just literally run this device randomly all over your head and end up with :

a) hair length 1/2 centimeters long
b) a hairstyle that does not look weird?

If so I wonder whether this same principle could extend to 1 centimeter and beyond?

You'll be wanting number 4 then - about 12 mm - I've just measured it.

Might be worth a try. It definitely doesn't look weird then?

[TimberWolf]

It rather depends on your definition of weird...

Hmm, except when it comes to haircuts. I don't care what it looks like (if I did it would be all off I expect), it's whether people shout 'oh look at him', point, call security etc.

I cut my hair just before i started this contract. That was 19 weeks ago.

Is it time for another haircut yet? Or should I wait for the 6 month renewal?
