cut mine twice myself to 'finger length' all over with beard trimmer and it was OK I'd say. SWMBO did it once and was able to trim the 'edges' more neatly but did mutter a few "oh f*ck"s whilst using the unguarded trimmer.......
Had mine cut at local barber last week and it felt good to have a decent, 'proper', hair cut. Gave them £20 tip as just pleased they've survived and are back

SWMBO has been doing mine for decades, saved an absolute fortune!!
Mind you, sitting on a garden chair in a sunny room doesn’t beat this surreal experience from Vietnam last year. And she’s never had to blow dry my noggin first as I was sweating like an absolute porker, well it was 38c outside.
Americans cut into squares and burn any stars and stripe flags that are sullied by touching the ground, however briefly. The mind boggles as to what they'd think about one being used as a barber's cape (and in Vietnam).

Seems the right place to me. After all, Vietnam won so using the defeated enemy's flag in such a base way is a good "up yours" to the Yanks. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

USA lost the battle but won the (consumerism, capitalism, ...) war
Vietnam is very non-commie and entrepreneurial nowadays.

Most peeps in Vietnam weren’t even born before the war ended, the war is pretty much ancient history to most peeps as there are very, very few signs of it. Fantastic place, have spent 4 months in the last 18 months travelling the length of it, twice, and would thoroughly recommend going there. Hopefully that will be possible in the future.

There could have been a bit of painful interaction with hair straighteners.
