Ben by Daniel Shelton for October 06, 2020

I’m a DIY’er for some things, but haircuts and vasectomies should be left to professionals.

I would exit stage left, like Ben. Liv doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing.

There are professions that are greatly underappreciated.

I was expecting them to get everything set up and find the cord didn’t reach.

Wise.

I went to a barber shop a while ago and asked for a trim, scissor cut. I was informed that they only use electric razors with various numbered guards. Barbers in our area have become mowers of hair, with very little skill involved. I left in a hurry.

Oh, this was a LOL because I’ve started cutting my husband’s hair! I’m sure I’ll improve and I’ve watched the videos!

Did Ben creator come to my house to draw this? We bought a clipper, I had no idea how to use it….fortunately my husband has a head full of curly white grey hair so that covered up all the mistakes! Second try a month later turned out a little better. (Watched a YouTube video before I tried it but that didn’t help at all! ) Glad to see other people are going thru the same things we are!

I finally got up the courage to do mine and discovered I’m enough of a contortionist to do it right. Now I have to cover up my unintentional man-bun. I’m sure I’ll get better with practice.

Not exactly inspiring confidence.

Ben, sit down and grin and bear it. If you don’t, she’ll get out the straight razor. Then you’re really screwed.

Our shop foreman keeps offering “shearing” because everyone’s hair is still getting longer. I saw what he did to a guy a few years ago and decided I would wear a ponytail before I let him touch my curly locks.

I’m good with my wife’s haircuts…. I’ll leave it at that.
