Cutting My Husbands Hair

Over this weekend we went out and got a clipper set for cutting hair. Don has decided that he doesn't want to pay at the hair place anymore and wants me to cut his hair at home. We both thought, a two guard on the top and a one on the sides, that sounds simple enough. I had gotten a few tips from the lady who does my hair and felt pretty ok about doing it at home. "We can always just do it all one short length if it gets messed up" he reminded me. He then went on to admit that it wouldn't matter too much since...."it's getting thin anyway". So we get the clipper set up, lay an old plastic table cover out on the floor and off we go. I get through, thinking that it wasn't so bad and then we really started to look at it. Argh. It was...patchy. By this time we have already cleaned things up and he has taken a shower and we are getting ready to go run a few errands. Good thing he usually wears a hat. So this evening we were at it again taking it all down to a one, which I think is like 1/4 inch. It looks better to me, at least not patchy and he seems ok with it. He is showering now, and we will have a final look once he gets done.
