A recurring expense in many a budget: haircuts! Hair grows and unless you’re cultivating the Gandalf look, you’re gonna need to cut it. We save $40 a month ($480/year) on Mr. Frugalwoods by cutting his hair in-house (specifically in the bathtub). Disclaimer: some of my technique is based on the fact that Mr. Frugalwoods is 6’3″ and I’m 5’6,” so your approach may vary…
Have the right tools for the job. I use:
- Wahl 79300-400 Color Pro 20 Piece Complete Haircutting Kit (henceforth referred to as “buzzer”)
- Wahl 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer (henceforth referred to as “trimmer”)
- A razor (henceforth referred to as “razor”)
Step 1: Start with subject standing in bathtub and shave neck hairs with razor.
- Lather neck with shaving cream (or conditioner) and commence the shave! Using the razor yields a much closer shave than the buzzer or trimmer for the neck.
