I've been thinking the same thing. The lady that cuts my hair has closed 'til 4/6 or longer. The longest my hair ever was, was when I was in 'Nam. Itched me to no end under that steel pot. I may give it a try myself, if push comes to shove. Take my clippers & burr it off, like it was when I was with the Sheriffs'Dept.

Don't know if I have the right size bowl, but could go that route....naaa, no way.

I clip mine down to the wood regularly. If I go more than 3 days without a cut I feel scruffy! I can go a bit longer with my beard, but not on the noggin.

Looking in the mirror each morning, been considering the same, Grunt. Noticed already that my ball caps are getting a little smaller.

I never minded the basic training burr, and am thinking I might do the clipper bit before too long. And especially as the summer heat ramps up!

Just trimmed the beard of 15 months, keeping the hair for now.

My wife cut mine Wed. She does a good job and is very fussy. The shop that I usually go to is cash only and Wed. seniors like me get a discount. They are closed for a while too.

.
I had gotten mine cut about week before they were forced to close. Senior discount anytime.

One size fits all, plastic wrap.

Well, I have pretty much most of my life had long hair.
Last June I cut it all off, had about a nine inch ponytail.
It's been a little over a month now since the last one.
Getting a little shaggy, but who am I trying to impress anyway.

If it was good enough for Buffalo Bill, it's good enough for me.

I may have to convince the wife to use the poodle trimmers on me.

I don’t have much hair left but I do sport a beard. My barber just uses a #1 guard and buzzes off both my remaining hair and my beard all the same length. Even before my barber was forced to shut down since I didn’t want the clippers just used on another customer to be used near my mouth I decided to DIY and bought some clippers. I used the #2 guard the first time and got brave and used the 1.5 the second. I trim my beard and my wife trims my hair. Here’s a pic I posted on our local gun trader web site just for fun!

Got mine cut right before all the shutdown but Im good for a while. But I feel sorry for the lady who cuts my hair no income. Hope she is doing ok.

I haven't been to a professional barber for something over 40 years .... my wife cuts my hair and has trained our daughters-in-law to cut our sons' hair .... when we are on the road and I need a haircut, we setup a chair on the outside patio carpet .... over the years it has generated many smiles and comments from folks walking by .... when she gets through there is enough platinum blond hair on the carpet that it looks a hawk has grabbed a rabbit

Maybe I'll quit worrying about the hair. With our stay at home order, I have plenty of time to tie dye a few T-shirts.

If it gets long enough for a pony tail I could hide to bald spot on top.
