I started cutting Hubby’s hair when he got laid off almost 4 years ago. He got a set of electric barber shears, paid about $20 for the shears and about a dozen attachments. I’d been keeping his beard trimmed for as long as he’s had it, so this was just a step up. After the third haircut, the shears were paid for, now every time we’re $$$ to the good. And he gets the cut he wants. Fortunately, he’s not into man-buns or bad combovers.
That’s a great way to economize, if you can do it.
