No scene, you probably need something a little milder tho.


My ex bought something called a tweezerman fine point for me before the tend skin, something like this:


I use it to remove the hairs that growing in on my face and when i got the tend skin i switched to that.

$300?...where?

pennywise

[j.o.e]

bro there's a line of products called bump stopper..it is the best hands down. I used to use it and it works for sure.Should be available at a pharmacy near you. They even have one for ladies...and yes I used it on my face because the regular one was out of stock. I tried the Tend Skin some years back and I'm not sure u supposed to put paint thinners on your face. http://www.bumpstopper.com/catalog/

[zcarz]

^yea the pro andis

[crazybalhead]

[Alpha_2nr]

bai, dat tend skin peelin the buttom of my chin

d phouq, u have woman skin or what?

Seriously tho, start shaving at home (like almost everyone else said)....and use one of the face wash-cleanser things before you shave (Neutrogen-Men has a "Razor Defense" line which might prove useful).

I just wanted to create this thread for people who are brave enough to start cutting their own hair. I think it really does make you feel good when you accomplish this well for the first time. Especially when you start getting compliments and you know you did yourself...









It just feels good when you can do it yourself. Kinda like the first time you learn to change a tyre or ride a bike without training wheels...

Anyway, any of you guys brave enough to try this and are there any barbers on the forum? What pointers can you share with us none professionals. Thanks!

[RASC]

Altrac messaging me and telling me I cheap...
Stueps
If yuh firetruck it up, just throw on a hat and head to the barber, but I still find it's a great technique and skill to learn as a man.

Sometimes yuh jus catch ah vaps and say yuh wanna go out at the last moment...and knowing how to do this on the fly, whenever you feel like it-is a boss skill to have.

Thas just my opinion /kanyeshrug

[AllTrac]

dred, i tell you, it easier for you, since u almost bald, so is one grade right arround, even if you screw up your mark you could just go clean out.

how i supposed to cut something like dis and look crisp when stepping out?

[Mark!]

cuttin yuh own hair is not 1raj friendly

Jed, you gotta practice...stop being a pu$$i!

You a real skettel jed...You could only go to a barber to take ah crips?

[Trini Hookah]

buh trac, you an cbh go clash dan

[Humes]

[VexXx Dogg]

I scared to try even though I usually take one grade throughout. Bought a Wahl kit tho, so hopefully I'll learn to do it myself. I've been 'marking' myself since I was 16 tho...barbershop aint want nothin on me.

[silent_riot]

I agree, this is a skill I would like to learn. I fraid tho.

[RASC]

Ok...why are you guys so scared?
All you need to do is make an appointment a couple hours in advance of trying this, so just incase you mess up, you could run to the shop and get fixed up.
Do it enough times, and you'll get good at it...the hardest part is the back, and keeping it level or even if you're fading all the way through. Again just practice.

[RASC]

Ok now this I DON'T know how to do...using a straight blade:



This to me is the ultimate skill. I gotta learn for 2k11

Been cutting my own hair for 3 years now, 1 level and a little mark. I real missing the ole talk inna d barber though.

[RASC]

Even tho I'm posting this thread, I'm currently growing out my hair. It's about 1inch long now, and I need to learn to give myself a proper line up/mark.
I dunno how to do it, do you guys recommend I get the machine or just use regular razor blades?
