You know the type of annoying accident you have when you slip with the short-beard trimmer into your hairline 24hrs before you spend two days in front of all your customers at a trade show?

That.

This is why I now go to a barber for my beard trimming. My hair is easier though as I don’t have any.

Done that, I just did the whole lot on the same setting.

Wife did me big style by going right up the middle on a no2 trim without a guard on. Reverse mohican. 3 days before job interview.

Only thing the barber could do (when he'd stopped laughing) was a GI joe style bodge.

My mum did that to my dad. He was about 65 or so. He wasn't pleased, she pissed herself laughing. Only thing to do was buzz it all over.

My wife did it to me the morning of a big company conference - I asked for a quick trim - she forgot to fit the comb to the clippers so had to go zero!

Last year, in a fit of pique having noticed my developing 'monkeys bum' in a supermarket security monitor I decided to go all Statham and shave the lot off. The results were however less Statham and more Gollom, it was the morning of my eldests 7th birthday party. Some of the children cried.

Yep, I used to do a #1 all over, was in a bit of a rush one day, first cut was fine, comb stuck at the end of the cut and detatched, by the time i realised I was halfway down cut 2, on a zero.
Reverse Mohican !
had no choice but to skim the lot
Mrs at the time went nuts

Yeah, done that.

Ended up just going very short for a while..(I’ve got long’ish hair)  should be fine. You might get asked, just say you are trying shorter hair for a change.

It must be a right of passage for those that trim their own hair.
One Sunday evening I had just finished doing the main bit with a number 7. Took the guard off to tidy up some edges then noticed a long bit front and centre that I'd missed with the 7. Went straight for it forgetting it had no guard on. Tried to blend it in to various decreasing lengths ending up at zero all over.
At least 2 people at work the next day walked straight past me without recognising me.
