Hal65 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I can tell the barber 3 on the sides but not 8 on top, they only usually go up to 4 blades on their clippers. When I tell them "leave one inch" and show one inch using my thumb and index finger, I still get 2 inches, .75 inches depending on the day. Not terrible but just curious if there's a better way to communicate this. I thought about "two point five centimet" but i'm not sure if that's any more clear, or more confusing.

Andrew Dwyer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I guess I’m lucky in this respect I just ask for a number 2 and that’s what I get on the sides, the top stays as it has for the last few years...........shiny !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unamazedloso Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Buy some clippers and do it yourself. I havent had a hair cut 40years. Sure theres nothing on top anymore but you can cut everything else with em! I actually use pet clippers. Normal rubbish dont last and need sharpening almost instantly. 1" index and thumb together? Got me puzzled. All over 1" but my thyimb is 3mm short of an inch. I have learnt somethig today... Now time to get a hobby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
