OK. I don’t have pics of the new cut. But [here’s](http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/gianni_02/?action=view&current=Scruffysmall3.jpg#!oZZ17QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs77.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj70%2Fgianni_02%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DScruffysmall.jpg) what it looked like a couple of years ago after eight months of no haircuts. (And generally being unshaven and scruffy-looking.)

> I bought a set of Wahl clippers and cut my own about every week and a half. #2 on the sides and #3 on the top. Takes about 4 minutes and all done. I saved the cost of the clippers in the first three months.

This is me for the last 6+ years. Except I’m a #3 all around and a #1 for sideburns. My favorite attachment is the eyebrow trimmer because I get the Gandalf thing going on after a few months and it looks a little crazy, especially with the short hair.

Mine is less and less a haircut, and more and more a wax and polish job.

I call those ‘Andy Rooneys’.
