Holy f this is amazing

I just found out that disposable razors are amazing home hair-cutting tools.

Just run it across your hair adjusting pressure and it gives an amazing trim. It's almost impossible to mess it up, looks professionally done, and it's incredibly easy to do.

Now I only need to use scissors on the edges of my hair.. and the sides where I am too scared to run a razor because the hairs are really short. everywhere else I just let the razor glide a few times over and over again.

it's the best haircut i've given myself in a while.. and it looks INCREDIBLY natural.

and the best thing? it's 3x faster than using a scissor to trim your hair.

@aerial wait what is that video? How did you find a video of someone with the right haircut?
Are you a real person? Are you and @piana from the same lizard-people clan?

@fradddd: He has essentially the same hair cut as this dude but slightly longer and unkept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDipt48sVyo&feature=youtu.be

That's a typical Asian haircut? What you are thinking of is this. You need to have spiky sides to achieve the Asian hairstyle:

If you didn't know, the principle behind a disposable razor and a straight razor is the same. They are literally just blades.

Now imagine, you rub a super sharp blade along your hair gently. What happens? Any hair strand that's protruding gets cut. This is why when you use it on short hair like facial hair, any hair that's protruding beyond skin level gets cut because you start the blade from the skin. But when you use it on your hair on the head and NOT start from skin, but just rub along your hair strand, the blade can't touch the skin at all. All it does is rub along your layer of hair strand. You do it about five times on the same spot, and voila, your hair is trimmed neatly.

you seriously lack any imagination if you can't grasp how this would work.

If it's to the point where something like that would work on your hair, I would recommend you just get a buzzcut. Then it's even faster and simpler.

@aerial ...that is literally typical Asian haircut I was thinking of, but shorter.
And you're talking about disposable razors, which work pretty differently than using a straight razor for cutting hair.

Learn how to live please.

@fradddd: Except that I don't have the short Chinese Asian haircut and my hair doesn't spike up? My haircut looks very similar to this except that it's slightly shorter: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d0/84/f1/d084f1e337287852c3c01e8657b41937.jpg

It's not that hard to understand how a razor would be able to cut hair if used correctly. In fact, there are barbers who only use straight razors to cut hair of all lengths. I am not talking about shaving my hair at the skin level. use your brain please.

@aerial oh well duh, I was gonna say, if you have the Asian haircut that's essentially just a buzzcut, then of course a freakin' razor works. It's the same length as facial hair.

@fradddd: My hair is about an inch long so the razor can't reach deep enough to make any significant cuts. I just "rub" it across my hair gently and it only cuts about half a centimeter of hair each time.

Well the things they use for purposefully thinning/layering hair feel like using a razor on your hair (not like in a painful way I mean).

I don't get how it would work for cutting your hair though, it seems like it would cut them all too short or rip them out.
