shaving its ok although the hair grows back twice as thick

Human body things Mike
I just shave without the guard in the back and on the sides and go 2 mm on top, which makes it really look like a fade because it’s so short.I need to remove my hair tonight. It's getting on my nerves. It's just in the way. To warm and just to much work.
@Abdiel Bull Berg; Do you fade on the sides, or do you use one length on top and one length on the sides? What length do you use?
Previously I only removed my hair as much as I could with a hairclipper (Moser 1400), without the guard. The
lever on the sides can't be trusted (it snappes back constantly) that's why I asked you about fading.
A haircut tutorial would be appreciated.
Otherwise I just remove my hair. It will work.
I don't want to spend 50.85 USD on a haircut every month.
Thanks for the feedback. I will try your haircut next time. What kind of hair clipper did you use? They should last longer then 6-7 years. I like corded machines, because they are more reliable and have more power. Hard to replace batteries as well.I just shave without the guard in the back and on the sides and go 2 mm on top, which makes it really look like a fade because it’s so short.
I use my mobile phone in front of a mirror to see that my hairline looks somewhat straight in the back and use my fingers to get a straight hairline there.
A bit tricky to shave like that on the backside but you’ll soon get the hang of it with the help of your mobile phone camera. Always looks like a hairdresser did it and it’s the only hair style I like having.
And totally agree, spending 50 $+ on a hair cut every month is a total waste of money IMO. Can’t wait until my new clipper arrives so I can shave my hair again. My last clipper lasted for 6-7 years.
I just use a Phillips clipper, not sure of the model name. The battery in it is what’s faulty, used up it’s battery life.Thanks for the feedback. I will try your haircut next time.

Yesterday I did my haircut. Looks good. But I used the #1 guard on one of my MOSER 1400. By the way, one of my Moser 1400 I believe I have used +8 years now. I know people that have had these type of clippers 20+ years, or even 40 years. I don't want talk about this further because I'm afraid it will be classified as advertisements.
The oldest one I own I have even taken apart fully and cleaned everything + replaced the blades, they are really simple in their construction.
A really cheap hair clipper that will last a lifetime, but you can't trust the lever on the side, but I don't use that so I'm good.
I did destroy the mechanism by putting lubrication inside, so a gear/cog was slipping against a metal spring-blade. There are replacment parts as well.
I'm getting kind of nerdy with this stuff. I'm so happy when things I buy last a really long time.
I hate to waste money.
Yes! Cutting the hair yourself is the way to go.
My haircut is practically free at this point in time.
So get a corded one next time, it will last a lifetime if you get the right model.I just use a Phillips clipper, not sure of the model name. The battery in it is what’s faulty, used up it’s battery life.
I hate to waste money too, have so much old clothes that I’m still wearing to this day.
