    Pass the clippers over your bonce every couple of weeks, and it is much easier.

    After the lockdown started, I ordered a professional hair clipper and now Mrs. Shovel Knight cuts my hair every 2 weeks or so. But I now shave only once a week (why bother shaving more often when I rarely leave the house anyway?)

    Clippers with no guard on all over, hair is various greys and pretty non existent on top so can't really be seen, the beard (not full set, goatee) been left to grow and noe is getting a bit of curl in it, and breakfast/dinner etc. I wait till she complains and something about it.

    Many years ago I had a large beard and long hair, in the mining industry and when the strike started I said it could go till we went back to work, 53 weks later think Captain Birdseye meets ZZ top, blooming cold after it was all trimmed back.

    Shower and shave every day. Wash my hair every three or four days. My hair is reasonably long - in fact it's the length I normally like to wear it. Was cut mid April.

    With the hot weather I've dispensed with the tie, and are even wearing shorts (in the privacy of my home, of course).

    Don't think my No.4 all over looks too bad (trimmed round the ears a little with scissors).

    Yes, I've stopped wearing a tie Barry...
