First-World Problems.

[Gattopardo]

As a baldy, I have no idea about this.

[ElyDave]

I'm considering a buzz cut with the clippers.

That too but I think I would regret that (not because I'm that vain, but because it would likely bring me out in a rash).

I've had my own clippers for about twenty five years, I'll bring the with me next time I'm up your way.

Number one son due a shearing tomorrow, I'm due fairly soon as well

I’ve got some clippers somewhere from the last time I had a beard. At some point I’ll offer the family “making me look less like Krusty the Clown” as a prize for winning at Risk.

[Mr Larrington]

I got my hair cut just over a week ago. That should see me through the crisis.

Same here, if you substitute "just over a week ago" with "in 2008"

During my first year as a thrifty college student, I purchased a device known as the "trim comb".  Basically a wide razor blade between comb teeth.

To shorten one's hair, you hold it just so, and lightly comb downward.  Hairs will be cut.  Repeat as needed.  Inevitably it will catch on the back of your head in line with your ear lobes, so you compensate by attempting to make a smooth transition line a half-inch higher.  After several such attempts, the hair on the back of your head looks like patchwork.

Eventually I decided my budget could include a trip to the barber from time to time.  Such is the price of vanity.

[Mrs Pingu]

Sometimes my hairdresser uses one of them on me, it blinking hurts!

.. all of which are decaf. Deep despair.

Don't jump off the roof, Tigerrr
You'll make a great hole in the yard
Mother's just planted petunias
The weeding and seeding was hard

If you must end it all, Tigerrr
Won't you please give us a break
Just take a walk in the park, Tigerrr
And there you can jump in the lake

Very belated applause.

Most of my first world complaints would be references to Netflix, as in why isn’t that show on there, or why did that other one disappear.

If a tea-bag sachet only has a nick in one edge there is a 90% chance that it won't be the one you try to tear.

A mate of mine used to do his hair and his dogs with the same clippers once a month.

[Cudzoziemiec]

I'm thinking I might have to go home clipper too. I dread to think what it will look like but at least it will (probably) feel a bit better. So, any recommendations for clippers, assuming they're available online and haven't succumbed to panic buying? I've no idea how much they even cost. But I have a dreadful feeling I'm going to emerge with great respect for the tonsurial arts.

I give my tidy head a once-over mow every Sunday with the number 1 comb from a set of Wahl professional clippers (and number 3 from the beard). They're the most pricy and wired, but last forever. I used to have a Remington clipper many years back but something important eventually fell off (also the combs would occasionally break and the replacements weren't a lot cheaper than buying a new clipper).

[SteveC]

I also have a Wahl set. Labelled 'Home Cut', I've had them for over 20 years.
The beard gets done about once a fortnight.

I had a mains Wahl set for about 25 years,  but couldn't get replacement blades for my model.   I replaced them with the cordless set above, which do a nice job & are far more convenient.


They seem to be in short supply at the moment.   Buy quickly !

[Jurek]

I replaced my Wahl professional clippers when they died a couple of years ago with another Wahl professional clipper.
I bought the original one in 1994.
I think that's pretty good going.

[T42]

Hmph. I bought a Philips beard trimmer ~20 years ago. The built-in battery lasted a year, a quote to replace it was about 70% of the cost of the whole thing, so I've been using it on the mains ever since.

I've been mulling over not bothering to clip until the lockdown is over.

Snap. I last went to a barber on the morning of my wedding. Sheena soon afterwards bought a Wahl Home Cut and it is still going strong on my hair and beard (at later that of my son) 38 years later.

£80! This lockdown's going to have to last a couple of years to make it worth that much!

I couldn't get any wholemeal flour in Waitrose yesterday, and had to settle for wholemeal spelt flour instead.

I don't think mine were that much !  Supply & demand mate,  knowwarramean ?  Got to make a little extra profit to tide us over.....

I last had a hair cut about 20 years ago. I reckon I'll cope with a bit of quarantine.

The last time I went to the hairdressers it cost me 2/-*.

* for people almost young enough to be my children: 2/- is oldspeak for two shillings.

I have a massive quandary this evening.

I have Adnams Broadside in the house.

I have also taken delivery of a case of red wine.
