Remember, you can always go shorter. You can't go longer.

I picked up a Wahl 2 months ago and have cut my hair and 16 year old son's twice. Check out Wahl's videos on line and it's almost impossible to mess it up too bad.

For clean up we have been doing it on the deck and using the leaf blower, for both our heads and the deck.

Cut my hair this past weekend and I don't think I'll be going back to my barber as often. Saved $$$ plus time it takes to go there, find parking, and coming back home.

It actually turned out much better than expected. Before you start, just feel out the contours of your head and take a note if there are certain spots that might be an issue for the clipper to get around. I started long on the side and worked my way down the guard size. For the back of your head, turn your back to the main bathroom mirror and use a hand mirror to look behind you. Removed the guard to trim around ears, sideburns, and lower edge of the backside near the neck (nape).

Wait, what? You don't ride your bike to the barber? Just get kitted out, roll your bike into the shop (claim you forgot your lock), then head out for your ride after you get shorn. Two birds, one stone and all of that.

Quite amazing how much hair appears in the sink when you take a quick swipe across the top of the head with no guard on the buzzer.

It's definitely tricky. One small twitch and it's game over.
