Arlo the drama that unfolded throughout this kept me captivated. I wasn't sure how you were going to overcome bare blade error. But you blended it in as though you were Vidal Sassoon himself. 🙌

Ha, you're very generous Michael! Thank you. Not sure about Vidal Sassoon, but at least I didn't have to go for a Willis in the end.

You're absolutely hilarious! I've just ordered my first pair of serious hair clippers. I start a new job early April and I need to get rid of this mane that I've acquired. My partner attempted to give me a trim with a beard trimmer last spring. It was a painful experience (literally). I've also checked out The One Minute Barber, thanks for pointing me in his direction.

Sorry Arlo just couldn't stop laughing and I applaud your courage to do this on the Tube for the first time! Well done you! I haven't been to the barber for years BUT it's my good wife that wields the shears And I have far less hair on top than even you. Best video yet!

Brave man Arlo and very funny. Why not dragoon a family member? I bought a Philips Multigroom series 7000 (MG7735) last summer. Similar price. It had its one and only outing shortly after but it's now dusted down for a second outing. I'll check the One Minute Barber first though!

I thought I would watch this as I wanted to see how a complete amateur managed a diy haircut before having a go myself. I must say it gave me a good laugh, but the end result wasn’t bad at all really. The one minute barber gives a few extra tips to try to avoid some of the errors here. I will have to get up a bit of Dutch courage with a couple of cans of Guinness before jumping in at the deep end myself though. What could possibly go wrong ? .
@arlo.guthrie3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that's what I hoped ... that it would be interesting to see how a first timer got on. But I don thunk I remmend two cansh guineas.

Thanks David. Unfortunately the ozone hole at the top wasn't caused by a zero. Still, at least there's less cutting to do. These days I just need to wax and polish that bit.
