Do you cut your own hair?
Artful created a thread over in The Pit about a person who shot a barber because the barber would not cut his hair for $2.

And that kind of got me wondering... I got used to a crew cut in the Navy and I've been cutting my own hair since probably a year or so after I enlisted, so it's been a pretty long time. There might have been a couple of times over the decades since then that I actually spent a couple of dollars at a barber shop to get it done, but those would be fairly rare -- like when I'm overseas for a long period of time.
So, just from a statistical curiosity's sake, do you cut your own hair or do you go to a barber?
Do you cut your own hair?
I used to get my hair cut every two weeks from age 16 to 28. Never in the military but high and tight was how I liked it. The lady who used to cut it knew to cut a proper fade as well.
But I've been cutting my own hair, sort of, for the past ten years. There was a point where I went over 2,200 days w/out cutting it. The pony tail was at my butt. Now I cut it every few months. Pull it back in a pony tail. Grip it w/ my fist and cut below the hand. The wife does this for me but I can do it myself if need be.
Part of the reason for this was I sat down and did the math. I figured out how many days of my life I would waste if I continued to get it cut every two weeks. I did the math on shaving as well. Five minutes a day, every day, over the course of decades adds up to weeks wasted. I have better things to do.
