I've been doing it for like 2 years now. You get better with time. Just get a lot of mirrors and don't rush.

I have been doing it for years. I do my dad and my brothers too. Yeah but you do have bad days where you can't get it the way as last time.

I run a 3 buzz every week on myself and have my boy do the lineups occasionally. I've slightly transitioned from having my accustomed barber do my trimsbut I realized it's much out of the way to be getting a trim once per week...

Make sure you have a good mirror set up first.

I used to buzz my own hair, but the shape ups were hard.

Practice fam.

My uncle's a barber and he's been cutting my hair since I was a kid, so he taught me to do it myself when I left for college.

I've endured many patches and many low fades

But now I do my hair every week.

Been doing it for about 6-7 months now, and I'm glad I finally got the nerve to do it. There's no way I'll ever pay for a bald head again...

Just cut it this morning. Nothing like a fresh cut whenever I want it...
