    I cut my own hair (I ain't paying no barber £10+ to shave my hair with clippers!!) with a Vidal Sassoon (don't laugh, it was a present) pair of clippers. They're from Argos too. They have ceramic blades and work really well actually...

    Isn't that a prerequisite of joining the BNP?

    I would hate to have a complete skinhead, normally I go for 4 on top, 2 back and sides. Nice and easy for me to do.

    Does anyone else get somebody else (partner, mother, friend etc) to do the trimmings (behind the ears and back of the neck etc)?

    Number two all over for me and the back bits aren't so bad once you get used to using two mirrors and the clippers at the same time. Being double jointed helps too.

    All over Number 4 if i am in a hurry or
    number 4 on top and 2 back and sides

    Done 0 (no guard) all over before now.

    I use a £10 pair of no-name that I picked up 5 years ago and they are still going strong. B###ocks if I am going to pay someone £10-15 every couple of weeks to keep my hair in trim, I reckon I have saved enough over the time to buy an A64 system.

    £5 for my haircut with the little old guy barber Ive been going to for the last three years, I dont even have to talk at all anymore..

    Just sit back and relax, Perfect compared compared to some bird talking at you constantly
    Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
    Enwrought with golden and silver light,
    The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
    Of night and light and the half-light,
    I would spread the cloths under your feet:
    But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

    Yup. I believe thats the one i got. Their simple but do the job aslong as u look after the blades by oiling them with the right oil (Some is supplied iirc).
