But you are near nowhere? 😂

Any clippers will be fine for long enough to get through Dovic, so get cheapest available ie EBay, Amazin etc....

Don't go for the Afro beard remover powder to be mixed with water to a paste as it REALLY effing BURNS.

I bought one of those box sets of clippers, beard trimmers, nose trimmers lol etc in Asda - had two No. 5s all over now so it’s paid for itself :-)
Youngest also had his hair cut but eldest refuses

I was being loose with the word 'near'.

Should have said 'none within an hour's drive....'

That's why Ebay\Amazon..... "Local" supermarkets should have something?

I've had cropped\shaved head since c1990. In theory if I had enough follicles I could go bald once a year in May\June .....

Can't find anything online at the moment and local Argos out of stock.

Scissors and razor are tempting me and I think I'm going to succumb.

this is what i got from Asda - was about £40 i think, doubt i'll use half of the stuff in there though.

Perhaps everyone had the same idea since and cleared them out though, got mine around 6 weeks ago

Boots, Superdrug, Argos, Amazon all sold out.

Was watching a couple on eBay. Virtually the same £10 Wahl ones as blah mentioned. Went for about £40.

Loads like them with a 24hr bidding window. All will go for stupid money. Someone is raking it in.

TK Maxx usually has a few Wahl trimmer sets. Doubt they'd be doing a click & collect though.

Just let Mrs m loose on my head with a pair of scissors. Didn't do too bad a job (well it looks less bad that it did before). Back is still fairly thick where we could have done with some clippers.

Well I can say a completely hairless head is certainly a look :o - needs a bit of colour though but the sun is shining :D

Perm the back. Then take a penalty, balloon it over the top corner and hey presto, you are Chris Waddle 😀😉

Just let Mrs m loose on my head with some clippers! Didn't do too bad a job (well it looks less bad that it did before).

Clippers finally arrived, watched and bid in a lot of auctions before finally getting a Wahl set from eBay for £21 all in, most selling for about £30 (£25 + 5 p&p), some people have access to stocks (clearing out Argos at around £12 a pop when they come in?) and are just listing new ones each day on 24hr auctions - making a tidy profit on each one. Supply & demand....

The limited edition gold plated trimmers from Wahl seem to be in stock on Amazon:

Cheap at a tenth of the price!

Finally let my daughters loose with the clippers on my hair today
Not done a bad job to be honest, apart from a bit of a chunk missing at the back. You can’t see that on zoom calls though :-)
