Good cut, 5 bucks.

Bad cut, I chase after them with the shears and hack their hair off. :)

Back before I started shaving my head, thus pwning barbers worldwide, I probably tipped them $3 if it was $12, or $5 if it was $15

My barber is a big titties Filipino chick who rubs her nungas against the back of my head and shoulders while cutting my hair. She gets 100% tip.

I shave mine in the shower. Before that I used to cut it myself or get girls from school to braid it for me. Its been a long time since I paid for my hair to be cut.

If a cut were $12 I'd probably give them $15.

I pay $35 for the cut.

The stylist gets $10, the shampoo girl $3-$5, usually $5.

I've been using it for 4-5 yrs now. For me it's a lot safer than disposables because its less likely to nick.

At least $5 but then again I don't know what male haircuts involve.

My cut and color comes out to about $130 or was it $150. I forget because i think she gives me discounts based on how she is feeling that day or the longer i stay with her because unlike her other snobby clients i am not a pain in the ass. I give her $40 but i never know if I am under or overtipping. I don't know if the 20% rule counts as far as hair services so i tip based on what I want if i was in her shoes.

I just used the same Mach 3 blade for about 4 months. And my facial hair grows like a wookie's ass hair. The gf felt bad for me after watching me shave one morning so she went out and bought me an 8 pack. I've been using the first one out of the pack for about 2 months now. Those shits are expensive, I'm going to try make this pack last 2 years. :lol:

I normally get about 4 shaves or so out of one razor doing my head and face. That would be a month.

My brother in law was buying Mach 3 and would toss it after one shave. WTF? Crazy wasteful mofo. I think he tried to reused them after we all bugged him for a few months. I told him if he is going to use them once just get the little Bics.

I don't nick myself very often. I can only think of about 3 times I nicked my head in about 8 or 9 years. Don't think I ever nicked my "gear".

It really depends how bumpy your head is.

The other thing about the Head Blade is it's pretty damn fast. Takes only 1-2 minutes. Course if several days have gone by it takes longer.

I go to the Great Clips down the street from my work or the one near my house. $5 tip, unless they did a crap job, then just a couple bucks.

With that can you do yours daily? I find I have problems if I try to do it a day or two later. I get my best shave if I leave it a week. At about 6 days the hair will start to bend if I run my hand across my head. This is when its silky smooth.

I would might have some lumps. My wife says I don't have any.

I can get MAYBE 8 face or 4 head shaves out of a blade before it feels like it's ripping my hair out. Mine always dull.

I do it every 2.

The other cool thing is that refills with cheap-ass Gillette Atra blades. And you can get fake Atras from CVS or Walgreens for like 12 for $8.

I need to order this and give it a try. Do you find it shaves better then a regular razor or is it just easier?

Can you shave every two days with a regular razor? My problem is my head takes a beating if I try to shave too soon. It hurts and doesn't cut well. If I leave it a week its perfect. Or if I cut it again in just under a day I'm fine.

I only used a regular razor a handful of times before switching to the Head Blade.

With this there's no need to think about what angle the blade is, or being afraid that it's going to dig into you.....it won't.

By the way just get the regular one, don't get the "Sport" with the wheels on it........they don't improve it at all. You don't need wheels, it already glides perfectly.

By the way I use it in the shower with a moisturizing body wash or something like that.

depends, had a chick I met at school do it, she usually rubbed her tits on me and gave a great massage at the end, plus she gave me a discount, so I gave her what she saved me, plus a couple bucks.

Now, depends on the cut. nothing to 2 bucks.

I go to a chain here called Judes. http://www.judesbarbershop.com/index.html

All the chicks are hot, they do a great job cutting hair, they wash our hair, give you a hot towel on your face, and give a shoulder massage all for $17. They used to give out free beer while you waited but the state put the kabosh on that. So i give a $3 tip for that. $4 or $5 if they are wearing something low cut.

Regarding the Headblade, it works much better than a razor once you get used to it. I love mine and have been using it for around 3 years.

11-16-2009, 09:48 AM
personally I think haircuts have reached prices that tell you they don't need a tip. when a regular cut begins approaching $20, obviously the tip must be factored in.

i go to a barber shop in town, cut is $10, yeah I tip them a few bucks each time. Plus they never ever screw it up. if I had a dollar for every beauty school drop out who said she knew how to cut a flat top, I'd be rich. they can rub their tits on my arm all they want if I walk out looking like a fuzzy eight ball I'm not going to tip you, and I probably won't be back to give you a second chance.

My Pops had one for the past 10 years and finally began shaving it for ease just recently. I think I had a flattop from 2nd - 5th grade....I remember Dad searching for and finding the perfect flattop barber.

Rider
11-16-2009, 10:19 AM
I had a flattop for several years. It wouldn't look as good today as it did back then due to a little receding.

I'm probably between stage 2 and stage 3 on the list. No bad for being almost 40.

I use to have a flattop for a couple of years. I liked it but after 2weeks it was insane long (I have thick hair that grows fast). Always took a while for me to get it straight because I have wavy hair.
